Tyres - again (again !!)

Postby robwils » Wed Feb 25, 2009 10:03 pm

Been offerred some wheels with these tyres

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp ... ada+Spec-2

Mentions about them being summer tyres and not suitable for snow, are the usual tyres we buy (e.g. nero's / rossos) classed as all year round ??

Anybody used these :?

Took forever for the link to load for some reason but I'm guessing you're talking about Yoko Paradas?

I've got them on my car and feckin love them! Pretty decent grip in the wet too and predictable enough when they do let go :)

Yes thats them, look good value, think I can get them for £93 a corner.

If normal tyre size is 235/40/18, can you fit 225 ?? are there any consequences :?

Cheers for feedback :D

(just checked link too and it loaded in seconds)
