Absolutely the worst tire I have ever driven on. Front end slid through every corner on them. I didn't keep them long at all!

Well there are some good and bad things i have to say about them. They wore very nicely and i drove hard on them. The front of my car would slide out too. However, you are able to rotate them since they are not directional tires. Towards the end of there wear they got very noises. For the price they are much better then kumho but they really need to be redesigned because the due to the trend designe the left side of the car is allways fighting the right hand side of the vehicle. Hope that helps some, i just picked up some bggoodrich kdw gforce 2's for my 19's so i can't really tel you how those are yet till the weather gets nice and i put them on.

i have some pretty bald ones on my 18 inch wheels and they do slide on gravel but other than that i bet they would hook up better if they werent so bald

Ive had the Paradas and the Parada Spec 2s. The original Paradas were horrible. Noisy as he11, terrible wear. The Spec2s got rid of the road noise. I like them, dont race my car around so i could care less if they arent grippy around corners. Spec2s also didnt wear as fast as the original Paradas.

I wish I could Ian, I really have to make up some sort of sponsorship package.

I also have no contacts and haven't attended many shows as of yet. I do plan on attending a few more shows this summer, and bigger shows than last year.

Feel free to slap me a few pointers...
