WOW . I never thought a MINI could go round corners that fast , and without any tyre squeal too . Just simply an amazing level of grip .

I couldn't hear any tyre noise at motorway speeds at all. If there was any, then it wasn't audible over the normal engine and wind noise we have from our cars. I think the Parada 2's will be the tyre I'll be choosing to replace my current tyres .

Thanks again Paul .


Hope you didn't have to change your underware when you got home!

The Yokohama Prada's have turned a great handling car into a fantastic handling car, I haven't got close to the limit of the tyres and there is so much feed back through the steering that I know exactly what is happening under the front wheels. I'll have to take the Mini to Bedford Autodrome to see if I can get close to the limit, it's not a safe thing to do on public roads. And I never thought an R56 could handle as well as ours, but I was wrong!

Glad to of been of some help Hyperactive,

P.
