Wouldn't get either unless i was skint and desperate for tyres.
Pretty sure Hankook RS-2s are cheaper than parada spec 2's.
Spec 2's are dangerous in the wet, no other word for it. If you get them in 15's the side walls are silly soft (and i mean soft, if people think T1-rs have a soft side wall then they need to have a prod at some spec 2's
), which is no good for a car which has fairly firm suspension. Will ruin the turn in and have a lot more flex. They do grip fairly well in the dry if i am honest. But i found normal road going tyres like faulken 912's better all round.
Had T1-rs before to, hated them also. But couldn't really argue at £24 a tyre, which is what they were at the time. Think they are £28 atm in 195/50/15.
I got 4 RS-2 for £217 delievered 195/50/15 really good value for money, if you have the extra cash go for yoko ad08's meant to be like the RS-2's but better again.
^All imo of course, other peoples views on tyres will be different from mine. Each to their own
