Paradas for me,better grip and cheaper too.

I had some proxe t1-r's on my old golf and they were surperb, not really expensive either and look cool when there on the car

Rab

Toyos. Paradas are utter shite in the wet, and this IS the Uk....

sara

proxes it is then i think what are the f1,s like they anygood

any help cheers

only really ever had yoko a509,s on the scort and the standard continentals on the focus cheers for any help

I really rate F1's and T1-R's are close behind them. Either are good but the T1-R's are usually cheaper. Depends how hard you like to drive really?

sara

so its a steer clear from the paradas then

TIFF

Pradas are the shittest tyre i have ever had........good in the dry but utter shit in the wet, which makes them shit.

Would rather have ronnie remoulds then Pradas

BigErn

Ive never used them but a mate had them on his car and they were "entertaining" in the wet. F1's and T1-R's are good in the wet too. I also used Goodyear Hydragrip on my Belmont SRi and it used to stick really well wet or dry

Got parada 2 and to be honest they are fine in the dry, shite in the wet and we don't live in california so mostly drive on wet roads.

IMO they look shite from the side also. a small thing but bugs me, they look like part worn tractor tyres.

sara

thanks for the replies it really helps i nearly bought paradas lol

I have used F1's in the past, and am unfortunate enough to have them on a car now, though at least the newer ones have not developed sidewall bulges like the 50% of the other F1's I've had.
Frankly I wouldn't put them on a toy car, T1R's are good even in wet, the T1S was way better though but no longer made!!
I have for a few years been using Uniroyal Rainsport 1's, awsome in the wet as you'd expect from the name, but also not too far off at all in the dry, certainly good as the F1 IMO, and I have both fitted to cars at the mo to make a comparison.
The best wet weather tyre I have ever used was Goodyear Eagle VENTURA, I am not sure if you can get these now ?

I have my super T's fitted with Eagle F1's and they are amazing for fast road even in the wet. I can't say i've ever suffered side wall buldge with an F1 and i've used them for years. I also have a set of Comp mo's with T1r on. They have more grip imo but do wear faster and are not as good in the wet on my sapphire. Both are 215/40/17.
Hope this helps.

cheers. Adam.

Just had 2 new F1's fitted on my ST and so far they seem very good.

It pis55ed down yesterday and they felt nice and grippy

My dad had 2 out of 4 on his mondy bulge, at just over 3 years old.
Mine bulged exactly the same and it is not an isolated case from what I have heard, though a few years ago now.
