User Reviews:

Given 57% (breakdown) while driving a Ford Focus RS (225-40-18-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
More of a Track tyre that can be used as a road tyre, but grip in the dry is quite phenominal.

Wet grip is not what these tyres are about so it seems unfair to judge them on this merrit. Ultimately though they are a little unsuitable for fast driving in the wet.

The compound is very soft so dont expect them to last more than 5000 miles.

Will have another set as any other tyre will feel lame in comparison.

They also happen to look pretty trick if you like that sret of thing.

Given 73% (breakdown) while driving a Daihatsu Charade (Converted to 4E-FTE) (195-50-15-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 100,000 spirited miles
Form:
I cant say there are many other tyres which look as good as the Parada's....the threads are just amazing!

Function:
Dry - Very very good grip in dry conditions. Great feedback. I drive a FWD car and it grips well enough to substantially minimize understeer.(tested it on a familiar corner) Initial turn in is good, They always let you know if its gonna go into a slide, very confidence inspiring on the dry.

Wet - Not too confidence inspiring in the wet though.

Comfort - These are performance rubbers... naturally, their not made for comfort...

Durability - Not sure yet. Only recently started using them.

Given 49% (breakdown) while driving a Toyota MK2 MR2 Turbo (215-40-17-W)
Driving on track for 500 spirited miles
Great looking tyre, typical Yokohama, decent (but not overly impressive) dry grip and pretty average in the wet, only appear progressive in the wet as the grip limits are so low, definitely one for the guys that prefer looks over performance.

Given 76% (breakdown) while driving a Honda Civic Type R (215-40-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles
I found these tyres to be almost ideal for sports road driving. The feedback is good and inspires confidence, the dry grip is very good and wet grip resonable. The tyres strongest point is that it breaks away in a soft very user friendly way.
The only down sides are the reletively short life span and slightly higher than average noise levels.
