They done 2years but had 2 track days in the middle so they weren't too bad

Everytime i've changed tyres i've always needed 4 (probably my driving style )

But have expertimented with loads of makes over the years F1's/Proxies/Rainsports but never got the same make twice until i got the parada's..

They are kind of like Marmite, you either love em.............. Or hate em..........

I like the way they drive in the dry and wet and at the price they were i couldn't complain!

I had to pay to get them fitted and balanced etc but the price beat Blackcircles/Mytyres but loads.

Just had a look and they have gone up £100 since April... Jesus christ
