Tread Wear on 18's
Yoko's ---> 180
Toyo's ---> 300
That's why I got the toyo's on mine I have had them for
about 2 full seasons now and there is still about 75% of the
tire left. I drive REALLY BAD (way too fast) and they stay on the
gound with very little wear. I do fine them a little harder than I
like, Oh forget it it probably has to do with the fact that I am using a 225/35/18 with the car SLAMED with GC's (not even 1 finger gap in rear and fronts are in the fender---> looks more like /---\

my advice, go with Nitto NT450's, i've had mine for almost 3 years, and they're still goin strong. oh yeah, in case ur wondering, i drive my car a hell of a lot. 130,000mileslegendarith said:
I have the Yokohama Paradas in 18 inch 225/40 and I like them. I have chrome wheels and once I rubbed a curd and luckily for me the tires protected the rim . I later found out later that the tires have extra lip on them for protection. LUCKY ME!
As far as the tire only lasting 6 months. Not true in experience. Its has has to do with how you drove on them. This a guy in my neighborhood with the same paradas in an 18 inch has had them on his car for over a year or so now, and his car is slammed on bags, plus he parks it in a dirt/rock parking lot at his job.

Hey SpoonLegend, this is entirely off-topic, but great choice for a song on your signature! That's my jam:!

I've used the Toyo Proxes T1-P's before and loved em like you cant believe. They friggin rule man! Dry and Wet they are IMO the best tire you can get, and the T1-S's are even better and last longer! If you have the Parada Spec 2's then you may have some decent results, but I never did like the previous Parada's.
Mind you all this info is purely from my own experience at my local track's here in Colorado like 2nd Creek near the airport in Denver and PMI down by Pueblo. As well as some decent street fun. Once on my Toyo T1-P's I was driving through a complete Frog Floater of a rain storm and while most people were going about 25 on the Interstate I was cruising along at 70 with no problems at all! Even when someone cut in front of me I was able to stop as if there was no rain at all! Pretty crazy I must admit, but I didnt want to be late for my date
I highly recommend doing some track days. They are a total blast! I think you'll have so much fun you'll be like me and never want to race on the street again. Even if you only go do practice days instead of racing days. Ged involved in local SCCA and things like that and I think you'll have a ton of fun.
Keep us updated!
