Hey guys has anyone used these or know it they'r any good??

Cant seem to find any reviews.

Bought a pair of Michelin PE2's for the front but dont want to fork out again for them on the rear.
 
Mine was imported with s.drives fitted, I'd say they're alright bout on par with falken ze912s. Very overpriced for what they are IMHO

I'm getting T1Rs next then maybe parada spec 2s in the summer
 
i have them on. Some love them while some other despise them. They are lightweight and medium hard. While fresh they are very competitive. But you wouldn't keep them more that 2 years as they loose their softness and tend to shrivel
 
Sounds good. 2 years !!?? Dont think i have ever had a set of fronts last more than 6 months haha
 
I am using those tires on 205/45/16 (W).
I don't like them very much. Very expensive for what you get..
 
Any chance of somebody actualy explaining what they were like. As is faults and possetives not just "weren't my taste didnt like them"
 
Just very expensive for an average tyre no real faults nor anything that jumps out and says buy me!
 
£10 cheaper than a michelin PE2. At only £39 a corner i wouldnt class them as expensive.

Just because they'r not as low as the likes of the toyo T1R at round £30 doesn't mean theyr expensive. Iv already tried those budget's and theyr cheap for a good reason. But so far i have never realy head anyone explain why the S.drives are so bad for the price.

£39 a corner that's good! they were more when I was looking but I guess it also depends on size
 
I used them in 195/45/16 flavour on a 7" wide 98 spec Integra Type R wheel.

They gripped well, i didn't mind them in the wet and they didnt really ever seem to overheat, but thats probably because i never got them anywhere near overheating temperature - I never had the car on track etc..

I'd have them well before T1Rs
 
Thanks for the actual informative input. :nice:

I was hopping they will be somewhere in the range inbetween the Eagle F1 GSD3 and the T1R's.

Fairly responsive and gripy but not the best is what i can hope for.

Decent all weather road tyres seem to be dying out lately. I got 2 michelins PE2's because they got good reviews but after feeling the sidewall before i have fitted them yet i doubt they are goint to be near as responsive as the F1 GSD3's because i can flex the sidewall easily by hand, thus wanting to have a reserve tyre to buy instead if they turn out to be soggey and vague.
 
If youre running 15s definately get some spec2s. They're AMAZING in the dry, and good in the wet, but they're not as good in the wet as they should be considering their dry weather perfomanceseses

tyres are preference i guess, i used T1-Rs and would only use them again if i was in some sort of burnout competition
 
there ok, like already said they are very pricey for what they are

i have T1R in 194/46/16 and i love them

i might try PS2's next though
 
Yea will be 195/50R15 .

I have used both T1R's and Paradas.
T1R's aint all that bad for grip jus have almost no feel or responsiveness so didnt like them.
The paradas may be good in the dry but i dont see any sunshine coming out anytime soon, they are dangerouse in standing water an over here in the isle of man thats prity much what you get everywhere, also they are in the same legue as the T1Rs when it comes to feel and road feedback, they maybe a little better but still poo to be ohnest not what im looking for. So not intrestead in either of them.

Yokohama S.drive is the tyre in question?


(note 194/46R16 Dont think thats an actual size or does your 5 key not work :lol:)
