stu8v 68 1 Cars Posted March 13, 2011 Reasonable when worn 3-4mm , I wouldnt bother if there new as the tread just rolls off them. 888's are good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daxed 7 Posted March 13, 2011 I have used these both on road and track. AVOID Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted March 13, 2011 Complete Rubbish, and thats being nice, OK on the back at worst but overheat within 5 laps of most circuits and I've killed a set in 15 minutes again on the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,627 Posted March 13, 2011 Try AD08's, cheaper than R888's and heard good reports about them, stiffer sidewalls much like the AO48, look after your tyre pressures and temps properly and you'll get a fair use out of them. OR, get part worn tyres cheap so you don't have 8mm of tread squirming about getting all hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for the warnings! The ADo8 does look good, and i have got a set of part worns to try. Cheers Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurboSam 5 Posted March 14, 2011 I have Paradas and have used them on track - not too bad in the dry, obviously no where near as good as R888s, but still OK as a road tyre. However, in the wet they are lethal. Slightly damp track at Silverstone had me spinning all over the place! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,526 Posted March 14, 2011 I think the Parada get a hard time. For what they cost they are a reasonable enough road tyre. The sidewalls are very soft though. In terms of straight line grip they are soft compound and quite good, on my turbo car the Paradas will hang on to full boost in 2nd gear, the Michelin Pilot Exaltos I have on another set of wheels will not. They are by no means a track tyre but proper track tyres are approaching the same price EACH as a set of 4 Paradas are, so what do you expect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
