I've got Paradas on my 1 and really like them - full of grip in the dry and decent enough in the wet although I dare say you could get better for wet driving. My car only comes out on nice days though so I'm not too fussed about the latter :lol:

I've sold the tyres and wheels from my car as it doesn't come out often enough to warrant keeping hold of them.
