Ford Fiesta XR4 (ST) Tyres

After Buying my ST in september 2009 we soon had snow, ice and lots of rain on the road.. the original tyres, pirelli nero were useless.. i have not owned a tyre that performs so unbeleivably rubbish..

I decided to replace all tyres beggining of december to the parada spec 2 and wow... The Paradas are a fantastic tyre, great feel in the corners and let you know when ur on the limit. The ST is a light car considering the engine is forward and alot of weight is on the front tyres they are easy to spin if you dont catch the bitting point properly.. however for the price and dry grip and wet performance i think there more than worth while..

4 new tyres cost me £240 on ebay from ears motersport..

very much recommend!

Have driven on all sorts of Australian roads - even gravel. No problems with these - 30,000k's or 18,640 miles - so im happy with that. I wouldn't expect a 205/40/17 profile in a ultra high performance tyre to last any more than that. Can buy other tyres that are cheaper that will give more miles but they'll probably not be 'Ultra High Performance' ones. Expensive but you get what you pay for, like everything in Aus we pay more $290aus each!

Dry - unbeatable, stick to the road like glue - wet not bad too. No snow or icy roads in my part of the world though.

Only other tyres I would consider is Conti Sport Contact 1 but haven't found enough reviews on them so for now im sticking with Pzero Nero's.
