Anyone using Yokohama Parada Spc2 tires? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be N.Va 850R on  Tue Aug 6 07:45 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Just bought a set of 205-45-17 and was wondering if anyone has tried these before. Further more, are these directional treads? Just wondering how you'd mount these... water gutters on the outer edge of the rim or on the inner? Or does it not matter?

P.

    To answer your ?'n yes they are directional. The water gutters go to the outside of the vehicle. They are great tires, or at least in my humble experience they have lasted longer and are cheaper than the P-0's.

    If they are directional, I believe they will have an arrow on them somewhere on the sidewall.

      The parada are not directional and do not have the directional arrow on the face of the sidewall. But it clearly specifies which side of the tire is the outer and inner wall when mounting this particular tire. I have had them for over a year now. They do grip and do not wear off as fast as my previous PZero and Dunlop SP8000.

      Yep,should have an arrow PLUS I'd think you'd want the rain channels to send the water away from the car, not underneath it. Doesn't your dealer know or maybe you bought these from a private party? See what Yoko's web site might show you if it has a tech section, etc. Also check tirerack.com's specs page for this tire.
