Hi guys will be having my wheels powder coated soon. While the wheels are being done will be fitting new tyres. Not sure what tyres to put on next. At the moment i have pirelli p zero but find them very hard and noisy. I do like the look of the yoko parada SPEC 2 as i am fussy with the look of the tyre wall.
Do anybody have any sugestions/pictures
THANKS

I got a set of Toyo TR1's on my spare set of rims...good grip but not unidirectional...walls looks good too. Not much going on there if that's what your after.

I run Pirelli Pzero Nero's on my WR1 as that is what the subaru garage recommend. However the nurburgring was an eye opener with regards to tyres as once mine had got sufficiently warm about 3 corners into the lap, mine squealed on most corners, understeered and were tearing layers off per lap. My tyres cost around £130 per corner.
The RB320 has Pirelli Corsa's and on track stuck like glue. When I drove it there was very little tyre squeal taking the same lines and the car felt to stick a bit more than my standard tyres. One thing the owner said was that the car aqua planes on roads that are absolutely covered in an inch of water such as motorways so you have to be really careful with them. But in the dry, normal road driving and track driving they were very grippy.
I would be interested to see how a set of Toyo R888's handle but they are just over £200 a corner so expensive if they turn out to be bad.
