Toyo R888's are awesome on track. Highly recommend. I also run a set of Yoko A048's, haven't had a chance to test them full yet but they seem just as good so far!

Having said that, i've been round the 'ring in a 205 on Parada Spec 2's and it was amazing! Good for the price.

...with all high spec tyre's its all about getting them up to temperature, need to drive hard to get the best out of them..

Yep, road legal as they have the minimum amount of tread and are E marked too.

I don't rate them on track tbh. They got tired after about 10 mins at Combe, started understeering all over the place and you could pick rubber off them they were so soft when I came off. Excellent on the road though.

S drives are a bit poo get the spec 2 over them! They arnt a track tyre so won't perform like one, so long as you appreciate that then happy days!

A048's are so much better than 888's just don't last anywhere near as long!

iv'e got parads spec 2's on my 172 atm, they're a good tyre for the road and have been a step up from the toyo's i had.
Better tyres out there, but for the money you cant go wrong.

in the wet they just light up really easy, end up coming out of most corners feathering the throttle to stop the wheel spin.
I had the a359's before, wore them out in 3k, awsome tyre if you dont mind replacing them on a regular basis

The guy filming this runs them on his Puma -

He's quite clearly on one but you can hear them building up a slip on most of the faster bends.

Definetly agree with Paradas being crap in the wet. I might consider a change next time but I love how good & sporty the tread pattern looks on Paradas
