Hi guys,
im sure this has been asked many times before, but im after some new tyres for my ST. currently its on pirelli p7000's on the front and pzero nero's on the rear, which im not too impressed with tbh. asked over on the fiestastoc site and the yokohama parada spec 2's seem a good bet, any thoughts guys?

TIA,
kev

at the top end if you want better grip then your choice really is Toyo Proxes T1R or Yokohama Parada Spec 2, Michelin Pilot Sport SP3 getting good reviews too.
Got my Toyos on friday looking forward to testing them this week, my PZero are still on the back from new, 3 years old and still hardly marked, think this might be a good combination, hard on the back and soft up front.

yeh i have the T1R's and they make a massive difference, i was actually surprised in the difference between those and the pirellis. Completely different league!

I've always used T1R's ever since the Pirellis wore down, and they're miles better.

I only drove back from garage, 2 miles and the Toyos made my steering heavier

Got parada spec 2 on my RS, the tread pattern means they aren't great in the wet

Had vredersteins and Avon ZZ3s on the ST and were massively better than the P zeros
