Yokohama Parada Spec II... your thoughts?

[Dougster]

Hey all.

This isn't a new tyre but it's rather rare as far as i know...

Anyone here using these? Any thoughts? Heard any thing about em?

I know they were really affordable.
They looked good.
Have average grip for a performance tyre..
Not too bad in the wet...

 

[race_parts]

Looks aggresive..but its a single direction tyre..meaning that it cant be rotated .

 

[EGNINE]

from my experience grip almost like ad07, after 50% tyre usage no grip at all...

 

[TitanRev]

I'm using them. A bit noisy but have good grip wet or dry.

Bump: where can i get them? K.L area..

don't like it ...
becoz made in Phillipine ...

I'm using it past 2 yrs++ now. Not bad at all, grip is average, the best part is it's thread are different from others & rare. Not to noisy on tarmac, but very noisy on cement pavement on highway. It a soft compound tyres, so not recommended for kaki cornering. For average driver it's ok. Last time I bought is RM150 per tyre at kedai papan, Klang. The price is for 195/50/15 . Right now maybe increase. In KL i not sure where it sell.

directional tyres is okay, u can rotate front to back...but if u tried ad07 edi, u wont say the grip is like ad07...

these tires maybe comparable to a-drive or s-drive...

soft compound tires ARE meant for kaki cornering...just wether ur pockets deep enuf or not. for hard corners u need the grip so u wont kena buang.

Trouble maker is rite, tires made where is most important... Philipines rubber is meant for tropical roads, like wet n dry combine. japanese tires are for dry, 'track-like' conditions...their roads there also like F1 track...smoooth like babies bottom xD

 

[zackrossi]

Thanks bro PocketRocket for correcting about soft compound tyres. I had that info from my fren that used it before. But still depends on driving style & condition of the road. As we know our road here were uneven & potholes everywere.....But still like this tyres....try to drive slow & steady

 

[PocketRocket]

design-wise its nice la....like RE-001 Adrenalin or Toyo R888

but have to perform also mah...

 

[Dougster]

I don't think it's anywhere near as good as the AD07 on dry...
But wet, it's not too bad for the price u pay... Better than standard tyres, but not as good as the Eagle F1's...

Zackrossi, no point buying these tyres to drive slow and steady! lol.... might as well get Eagle NCT's or Sime's....

I got them for RM170 in Kuchai Lama.... I have to say their pretty rare...
I got them a year ago and i haven't spotted them anywhere else..

But as a conclusion, for the price you pay, it's a pretty darn good choice..

 

[EGNINE]

the best part of ad07is it has the grip until the tyre bald, but only can last for 1 year because of the threadwear is so fast, still ad07 is the best i think huhu..as for my statement for parada grip almost the same as ad07..i mean almost but not there yet...and after 50% threadwear it dont have the grip at all... people says tayar sudah kerass

i used it before,the side wall of the tires is very soft,it looks like a perfomance tires but it did'nt perform like it looks..........hard to get full gripness of the tires when conering(i think sidewall problem too soft) & lack of high speed stability the tires didn't grip well,i don't even dare to change lane in high speed with this tires.....now i'm using hankook RS-2 very well perform totally diffrent from PARADA the price wise is cheaper then AD07 & RE001

[PocketRocket]

thats a good alternative colour...

 

[TitanRev]

PocRoc, any other alternatives? within these range?

 

[PocketRocket]

Bro TR, best is save some lil extra money, use 15 inch japanese rims and invest in 195/55/15 ad07 or wait for ad08's...fregin good driving experience for any car

or more for dual conditions, get toyo T1-R..no regrets

other alternatives is maybe hankook RS-2 or S-drive...continentals made in Germany also chun...
sometimes get better traction tires gives u piece of mind that ur in control...not necessary have to all out racing....michelin silent tires all i think thrice of getting..noise i can bear, but no sacrifice for traction
