Yokohama Parada Spec-2 Question.

[eckoman_pdx]

Hi All, I have a question. How do the Parada Spec-2's perform in wet weather? I have heard 2 different answers...I've heard they perform well in well weather, and that they suck in wet weather...both can't be true. Right now, I run Pirrelli P7000 Supersports. They are fine in wet weather. I live in Oregon, where it's very wet in the winter, but dry in the summer, so I'd like a tire that handles well in wet weather and dry weather. I've been thinking about getting different tires than I currently have once it comes time. I know the Parada Spec-2's are grippy in dry weather, and are supposed to be quiter than the P7000 Supersports, which are more noisy. I'd perfer the tire to be at least Z rated. The size I run in 205-40-17. If you don't like the Spec-2, what other tires do you like for the conditions listed above. Also, as dumb as this sounds, I tend to like thread designs that look more athstetically pleasing, but thats the least important thing. I'd rather have a tire than is grippy in wet and dry weather and that is quite, than a slick looking thread that performs worse. Thanks for your help.

They're decent in the wet but they're still a pretty loud tire.

Better choice consider for better wet traction and less road noise is the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, see more on this tire at:
