How often do you really plan on pushing your car and tires hard enough to require a Z or V rated tire?

You can also replace them with either the Nitto Invos, or the 420's. The invos will be more like the Pirrelis, the 420 will have alot better tread life. They are pretty reasonable in price on discounttiredirect.com.

I used to be a big yoko fan, but I would stay away from the yoko parada's. I had 1 pair of parada's and 2 pairs of parada spec 2's on my Acura RSX. After warranting 3 pairs in 25k miles, I couldn't get another pair. They would not show wear very easily, but after 10k miles they sounded HORRIBLE. So lound you could not carry on a conversation in the car. It reminded me of the sound you get when you put chains on your car for a few thousand miles and break the belts inside the tires. But, my car is in SoCal as a weekend driver and had never driven with chains or bad weather. Look online, a lot of people complain about the same issue. |
