What tires to get?
I currently have Yokohama DB7 225/40/18's that are in dire need of replacement. I am looking for a tire that has excellent wet/dry traction and is rated for high speeds (up to 160 at least...to be safe).<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMak e%3DYokohama%26amp%3BtireModel%3DParada%2BSpec-2">What do you guys think of the Yokohama Parada Spec-2?</a></li></ul>

Got feed back about the Paradas a few nights ago....
The feed back was very NEGATIVE..stay away.
Get the Bridgestones RE750's. Very nice tire, that's my next set. Tire rack has them for $150 each.
and why do u need tires up to 160mph? Your audi will never *sniff* past 150mph...no?

Re: What tires to get?
I've been looking into tires myself I came up with this short list:
- Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position
- Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
- Bridgestone Potenza RE-750
- Dunlop SP Sport 9090
They are also listed in the order of preference. The S0-3's and PS2's are very close, as for the SP9090 and the RE-750 it would be to save a couple of $$.
Later,
- Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position
- Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
- Bridgestone Potenza RE-750
- Dunlop SP Sport 9090

Falken Azenis ST115...i've heard great reviews and that's my next set 235/40/18...
I have the parada spec 2s right now. It's not too bad...much improved over the spec 1. I'm not gonna track the car with the 18s so i'm planning to get a quietier summer tire and the ST115 seems to suit my needs...good price too.
