Out of the 2 tyres above which is better?

I currently have P zero Rosso's fitted to the rear but I have just got a screw in
the outer edge of the tyre so it will need replacing,
Just wondering if I should replace the Rosso of go with the Spec 2

My mate hates the rosso's on his c30 t5, and I quite liked the pradas I had on my 4x4 cos

Parada 2 is the best option

Mark_

Cheers for the input guys,
I am going to check the tread depth on the other side, If its much less than a new tire I will
replace both with Prada spec2.



A new Rosso tread depth is 8mm I think.

Pradas....

Good on the road in the dry
ok on track... but if they get hot chunks literally fall off
Scary in the wet.. when driving normally.

I really rate uniroyal rainsports!

True that they do like to float a bit in the wet, I found the unusually gud in the snow though?

Any other options for around Ł130 max

Mark Rosso's are spot on I've just fitted a set of 4 to the st got them from camskill Ł105 posted each , I've got paradas on the cossie but not tried them in the wet lol

Mark_

Tony where you been mate, not seen or read anything for ages, lol

I like them but since it looks like I have to replace 1 I wondered if I should just change the pair

Tony Rs

On yeah on the rear shouldn't matter much just replace the one if the other one is still good

Mark_

Is your LCR mapped?

H7 CYA

iTrader: (3)

it is mate yes

Mark_

Who by? Mine is going to Bill@Badger5 on the 2nd of April, Im visiting the inlaws at Bristol so it makes sense.

Nice one bill knows his stuff! mines mapped by jabba but if i was to do it again ive go up to niki at r-tech.
take it you will be investing in a 3" tip pre map.

Mark_

Yeah, I'm buying a V3 Tip off Bill, lol


Niki and Bill offer the same thing,
I wanted to use Rick@unicorn but he is just too far.

iTrader: (3)

Good move with the v3 sure it will make a substantial difference. I run one of the earlier ones with the billet adapter....good bit of kit. Bill and nikki are the best in the business imo.

Mark_

The V3 is cheaper than the v2.2. Bill said the one with the billet adapter is better, but its marginal. 10-15bhp gain over stock TIP.


Bill offers Gear based boost mapping which is great aswell.

H7 CYA

iTrader: (3)

Thats right not much in the tips tbh just a vast impovement over stock.
gear boost mapping would be handy, they can also map in launch control and anti lag lol.
rods are advisable for the later though.

Mark_

I'm still on standard exhaust with a cat so no Launch control or Anti Lag for now,

I quite like the switchable maps aswell,

The Vag me7.5 ECU seems far better than the Ford standard offerings,
