what are these like?

would be for fast road

no wet weather

worth it as they are quite cheap

whats the grip like and how well that last

 

I rate them, ive run with them for a while now. Not great in the wet though to be honest but quality in the dry. My last front set didnt last to long but that was partley due to tracking being miles out
Buy them!!

 

just been reading some of the links at the bottom

looks like i might aswell get them then

well at that price

 

try camskill mate if they sell them - i've always found them to be the cheapest on the web

 

ebay is cheapest at the mo

still looking mind

 

Good for the money, I use them as road tyres on my clio and have even done a couple of track sessions on them, not as good as 888s etc but certainly work ok.

I believe Kelv did a 8:50 odd lap of the ring in his focus RS when we were there, and he was using them.

 

As said, good in the dry. not great in the wet.

They wear down quick but for the price they are a good buy imo

 

thats good enough for me then

anyone know any where that does them cheaper than ebay then

215 40 17's is what im after

 

Cheapest I found for my clio was on ebay

 

hello iv just bought that size from national tyres, if you book on line they come in at just over £300 fitted, by the time you have your ebay ones fitted will work out about the same.

they are 260 deliverd on the bay

getting them fitted isnt a problem as i know a friendly tyre fitter

 

Easy to see how it could run to most people for 300 then if they are 260 not fitted.

So a good tip about national tyres

 

Surely a set of R888's would be cheaper from Martin Hadland?

 

Nowhere near mate, martin cant even match 260 for a set of 888s in 15" so im sure he will be a mile off for 17" like this thread is about

I love Paradas, and the price is right. I find them ok in the wet, they don't last that long, but a soft tyre is a soft tyre. Tramline quite badly IME.

 

So the general gist is they are good but not as good as 888?

 

Gus,

With the power your car is putting out dont you think its a tad overkill? You may as well save the cash and get some remoulds! I think there safe up to 70mph!

 

i have 88's already just looking at getting a CHEAP SET FOR SOME OF THE WHEELS I HAVE

 

if their for the road they'll be fine, but in my experince with them on track their dog poo!! go off after a while, might just be my driving style though? but fine on the road, not in the wet!!!
