Anyone ever used these on a track? If so what are they like and what they like on the road?
Found a set that seems pretty cheap for 4 brand new!
Sorry if its been asked before, but search doesn't a work on my phone :(

Im using them on my civic, as daily tyres i like them. Only thing that annoys me as that they're really loud over 50. I just turn my music up to counteract that haha.
 
Had a set on my EK4 then EK9, good tyres for the money, grip well in dry, they are ok in the wet, if you can though i'd strongly advise to go for AD08's, I've just got some and can't believe how good they are, quite alot of difference over Parada's. I got a full set from here.

Cheers mate, yeah I have been looking at them. Just thought I'd get the cheaper option. Will look into the ad08's
 
Wouldn't scrimp on tyres buddy. End of the day theyre a main factor for keeping you on the road! Buy the best you can afford :)
 
I use them for daily use fairly good no complaints, if your getting track tyres spend the money and get two different set of tyres!
 
not great on track,soft sidewalls mate used them on his ek4 race car and complained about them but then again depends how far your looking to go on track,if your goina chase fast times then there not the tyre for you youll want another set of wheels running slicks as 2bh in my dc2 race car i find even the r888's arnt enough next time ill run full slicks
 
I found the paradas really predictable on track. Obviously you cant go at ten tenths on them, mind you who does in there road car at a trackday?
Wet weather they were pretty good aswell, still really predictable.

Thanks for the comments guys. Think ill stick to getting the AD08's
Will be doing track days but won't be pushing it to the max. Just for a bit if fun really!'
 
love my spec 2's. for the money you cant complain.

however for me they are shite in the wet !
 
Have AD08's on my 182, EPIC in the dry, better than I was expecting in the wet too. I have AO48R's on the metro lol.
 
I have had a Prada spec 2's on 2 civics and I really liked them in the dry, personally I found them terrible in the wet.
 
ok for poodling around town. not a performance tyre by any means(as the price of them gives it away)
on track i'd like to think you'd shred them before dinner(dry day)

slicks only if your running a cage, most trackday organisers wont let you on if your not.
888's you'll only manage about 5-6 hot laps before they fade!!!!!
 
YES to AD08s! there great for the occasional trackday and a brilliant daily!!! Pretty good in the wet too, ive driven quite hard in the rain before and these never failed!
