Looking to purchase two new tyres, wheels have 4 Parada's on at the minute and I'm Torn between these two at the minute, I know Parada's are pants in the wet, but I've found them in 205/40r17 for £70 a corner delivered whereas the Pilot sport's are £96 a corner. Help please lol

£26 more for more grip in the wet

I know what I'd be buying

should have said also, only changing 2 tyres and don't really like using 2 different brands like them all to be the same

On my summer wheels, I ran Parada2s in 225/40/18 before switching. I was impressed with them I have to say, and they wore well for me. I also didn't have any problems with them in the wet, that I can recall. Currently have PS3s on the back, PZeros on the front, as I had a pair spare

 

So I can't comment directly, Parada2 vs PS3 as I don't run them all-round but I'll replacing the PZeros with PS3s when they wear out, that's all I'll say

thanks wardy, I think Parada's are only terrible in standing water aren't they? Heard people say they aren't too bad on damp ground. Parada's tread pattern is awesome too lol.

I gave them quite a lot of grief across 20,000 miles and didn't have any issues, but I run winters Oct-March (generally) so might have avoided the worst of the weather, who knows

 

For the tyre they are, with that tread pattern, I was very pleased with wear I must say. And I'm not known for being particularly kind to front tyres

Me Too,  Rainsport 3's

Me Too, Rainsport 3's

hated the Rainsport 2's, sidewalls are like jelly, good in the wet and that's about it. By no means is it a performance tyre lol put me off Uniroyal for good

PS3's all day. Far superior tyre personally and well worth the extra dosh!

I used to run spec 2s and thought they were good. 205 45 16 but changed to ad08 as all ive gmheard are good things. Only have 2 on the back just now but no complaints. Will be replacing my front with them next month

Of the two, I'd take the Pilot Sports, but if it was a free choice, I'd probably run the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric2's.  

 

I've run my Uniroyal Rainsport2s for a while, and i'm thinking of replacing with the 3rd generation jobs. But I'd still say that they hold up well in the dry and under braking; they handled one (cold) track day without excess wear, and while I should have ordered the XL rated tyres for the stiffer sidewalls, I quite like a bit of compliance in the tyre as it helps with weight transfer.
