Has anyone used or is currently using the yokohama Parada Spec 2? They are about $120 each for 225/40ZR18 which is what I need.. What can you tell Me about this tire?

Has anyone used or is currently using the Nitto Neo Gen's? I have heard nothing but great things from the local street racers...

I wore out the Kumho Ecsta MX tires which I LOVED!!! The cornering stabilty, wet weather traction shit everything was great except Ice Grip which doesn't matter anyways because they are summer tires and the treadwear. I wore them down after 14000 miles with proper rotation/balancing etc.. They were consistently used for really high speed (120+mph) cruises with no problems.

Right now I have All Season Kumho Ecsta ASX which definetly suck for the type of driving I do..

Since tire life doesn't seem to be much of an issue, why not try picking up some Azenis? Do they make them in the size you need?

I know that zeph will recommend against the KDW if you do track days etc, he has seen them chunk off entire tread blocks... i haven't heard anything too bad about them aside from that.

azenis are pretty much the only way to roll if you are willing to buy a set every year! :)

Or just get the RS2s from hankook--great bang for the buck.

Yeah I understood thats just a random comment by me.

I see people all the time with the "monster truck" look on small cars anyway. its there choice I just wanted to point out that that overall size is a littel big for our cars gearing /performance wise.

I run 255/40/17 in the back of my car :D

Too big, but oh well. Well, too much stagger, at least-- 215/45 up front.
