They are both Road legal track day tyres.
I drove 1 car with std wheels & 225/40/18 Yoko p2 and then swapped them for std wheels & 225/40/18 Toyo R888. Both tyres W rated.
In the dry there was little difference.
In the damp the R888 was easily better
In the wet the Parada's felt marginaly better.
Footprint on the Parada 2 was 13mm more than the R888
Car was Focus RS FWD 276bhp/ 333lbft
Toyo don't do a size near it.
imo means IN MY OPINION. Obviously yours if different.
Kumho do Hard, Medium & soft compound 205-45-16, proper track tyres. Proper dear.

Here is Yokos Motorsport tyres... I don't see your Parada listed!!!
http://www.yokohama-online.com/gb/pages/IEFRAME.HTM
They are a funky looking road tyre... nothing else... IMO
The PARADA IS NOT EVEN THE BEST ROAD TIRE THAT YOKO DO!!!!
Thats the AVS Sport!!!!!
Heres what Yoko say about their own tyre...
PARADA SPEC-2 defines Tuner Performance Standards by exceeding Expectations for Performance and Looks.
PARADA SPEC-2 raises the Bar on the premium performance offering for street tuners.
They even mention looks

Parada a track day tire
... the conversation for me ended there. Not worth arguing when someone is so clearly wrong...R888's are PROPER TRACKDAY TYRES and in my EXPERIENCE they are as good if not BETTER than the A048R.
and I am not biased to Toyo either. The best out there is the Dunlop D02.. and I just got a set for Sierra in time to compete in the next round of Track Attack. Gutted now though... should have saved a fortune and bought the Paradas
NOT
In fact thats a point.... look how many PROPER trackcars run the Paradas????
That will be NONE... I know LOADS running and COMPETETING with the R888's...
Bit sad actually Chris... thought you actually knew about the stuff you were SELLING
