Any body used them?? How do you rate them?
Ive just sent my wheels off to be refurbed before pvs and i could do with some new tyres as there nearly dead.
I can get 4 205/40/17's for £215 and free fitting which seems pritty dam cheep to me...?
For the last 18 months ive been useing uniroyal rainsports and ive loved them, but i cant seem to find them as cheep at the mo.
Any body have good or bad things to say about them?

if u want one of the best griping road tyres in the dry then go for parada's, but if u want them too be good both when dry and wet then go for eagle f1's, but i rate parada's better in the dry then anything else ive tried including toyos and eagle f1's ect.

Does nobody read a post these days? 
the reason i am looking at paradas is becasue i can get them cheap. £215 for 4 in 205/40/17s
Now i know eagal f1s are better but theres not a chance in hell i will find 4 in that size for that price...

pradas are sick but are bit skechy in the rain and i found they have a bigger side wall than all the other tyres
if you want cheap and good in all weather i would go for toyo t1r's ebay is your best bet for tyres

Tried khumo KU31s? Seem to get good reviews at the moment, especially for a budget tyre. Dont know how they compare price wise though sorry.
