I heard they're a bit chavvy.


T1rs are good, as are Goodyear Hydragrips.

chavvy? how on earth can tyre choice be called chavvy!!!!!!

for the record i run them on a 420bhp 2wd saff and they grip like fuck!! they are only a 215 on mine too and they offer more grip than the previous 245's i had!

i've never tried them on front wheel drive, Graham ( GRS ) runs them on his Mini Cooper S with about 250bhp

Great value tyre for the money in the dry. Grip well and wear quite well

However they are terrible in the wet

I had them on my 3dr & really rate them,very grippy. Changed the wheels & they had eagle gsd3's fitted, they don't grip like the Parada's did.

T1-R's = Good all round tyre imo

Prada's = Very good dry tyre, not so good in the wet

Eagle F1's i have never used so cannot comment.

As for Prada's 'being a bit chavy' what a stupid fucking comment.
