Well, my sally needs some new shoes to dance in those damn yoko paradas didn't last for shet, I'm looking for a grippy yet long lasting street tire. Suggestions, personal experiences are more than welcome, I am not all that hip on today's rubber technology

thankx in advance.

I have yoko paradas spec-II's, theyve been on my 850 R for almost a year.

oldtimer · 11-04-2005, 07:42 PM

Dayum, they lasted me 4 months.. yoko parada spec II 215/zr18/35 purchased on July 3rd...the tread bar is even starting to show....Of course, I do go hill running every weekend...

Where you doing burnouts, trying to drift, etc...That would cause your tires to ware out faster.

oldtimer · 11-04-2005, 08:38 PM

I do alot of ridge racing, hill riding, etc. I have only drifted her once (1 time) and never do burnouts and those tires hardly lasted, although I admit, they are a good tire, def a good track choice because they handled nicely, gripped well but just didn't last long enough. Oh yeah, and they are TRULY a dream over 130 mph, felt like I was doing 80

Try from the falken ziex selection, i have those on the back, been on there for nearly a year and a half.
