ok I've bought some series one wheels for my mk3 escort
Now I don't plan on been out in the wet if I can help it so I'm wondering about people's opinions on which tyres you guys use and prefer for the road

 

Tyres are quite a personal choice. What sort of budget are you playing with? What sort of driving? Any track time?

 

Not any plans for trackdays tbh budget is open ended but not daft

I've been looking at

Yoko parada's
Toyo t1r's
Toyo 888

Has Anybody used or using these or can recommend something else

 

I had uniroyal rainsport 2's in that size and they lasted 3 years of my abusive driving, I actually removed the wheels from one car then continued the abuse on another car I just couldn't believe why they lasted so long. More of a wet tyre though I'd say.

 

The toyo t1r is good on my 205 gti

 

I've had paradas, superb in the dry dreadful in the wet and don't last long but look sexy.

 

Yoko Parada Spec 2 is a good dry tyre, I run them on my RS Turbo. Used to use the Toyo Proxes T1R on my A4, nice grip but sidewalls seem a bit soft.

 

I like Toyos.

 

Had a pal of mine mention these uni royals as well will have a look at prices

I've been looking on camskill for prices as they seem to list a lot, do any of you guys use any other sites ?

 

I agree the tread pattern is very sexy

 

I normally order from eBay mate

 

Ok I've bought some tyres

I've gone with Yokohama parada spec 2 managed to get 5 of them delivered for the grand total of £194:50

See how they go never had them before

Cheapest place I could find was www.mytyres.co.uk

Camskill and eBay both dearer tried

Think for my RS Turbo I will treat her to some 888's

Thanks for people's replies
