Yokohama Parada's

[PW/B_JCW210]

Hi there.

I recently became a Mini owner for the second time, I had a Cooper S back in 2002 that I sold to get a Golf R32.

My current Mini is a JCW S with the 18" wheels. When I had the first Cooper S the runflats drove me nuts, so when I was looking to get the JCW S I was determined to bin the runflats.

I had a look on Mini2 and found a lot of useful comments/advice regarding other tyres to use.

Personaly I really like Goodyear F1's but they are as scarce as rocking horse poo at the moment, so I have just had a set of Yoko Parada 2's fitted.

What a relief, I can hear myself think when driving the car, the ride is better, and the grip (at least in the dry, not had any rain since they were fitted) is excellent.

Thanks for a really useful resource here on Mini2!

Next step is getting Eibach springs fitted

I will post some before and after pictures once the springs have been fitted.

You want a strut brace next too

I'm with TallAndy, I run on Yoko's the strut brace is well worth the money

Pheby could you please comment on the noise level of the tires. I'm considering these but have heard some comments that they are loud. Thanks Steve
