Really? I've read they're good in all conditions, although I read that, I have no experience.

I like Yokohama Parada Spec 2's they were great for me in all weathers (compared to the nankangs I have on) and Kumho KU31's are allegedly awesome tyres for the price and strongly recommend by alot of people.

parada's are awful in the wet. most yokohama's are. compared to your nankgangs they will feel glued to the road though. rainsport 2's are a good tyre for something half cheap.

What would you recomend I'm going to buy some new tyres soon and it'll either be Parada spec 2, proxies or Falken.

not the falkens. Parada2 are very soft for a road tyre so not the most durable. I found t1r's pretty good although soft sidewalls

They aren't bad but they aren't excellent in my opinion.

quite bad in the wet though toyo's. infact i actually much preferd rainsport 2's to toyo's wet or dry. i think toyo are internet hyped and quite over rated tbh.

not the best in the wet although not dangerous. I was very impressed with the toyos in the dry but that could be down to different chassis's

+1

+2 they made my 182 feel like it could turn on a dime! Plus in the wet you knew the limits very easily.

I highly recommend Goodyear Eagle F1's pal.
Rainsport 2's are excellent but really soft compound so wear down quicker on dry roads.
Just for gods sake dont go down the part worn route!

Continetal Contact 2`s, had them on 4 cars now and they make the car stick to the road like shit to a blanket and last ages for me.

Pricey but well worth the money.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the best tyres out there.

Michelin Exalto's, On a 250 bhp Fwd car i had Conti contact 2s, eagle F1s, Toyo T1Rs and Michelins, and the Michelins were far far superior in all areas!
