Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

I just bought my civic and straight away swapped the goodyear rubbish that was on them and put parada spec2's on, cant fault them seem great

Just take it extra easy in the rain Stu, their wet performance is very poor.

Yeah i had done a little research on them before, and it does rain alot in scotland althou the s-drives i had on the integra were shocking in the wet aswell

Well it's been a cracking week so far eh, so enjoy it while it lasts

Was pissing down in edinburgh this morning haha. I tend not to drive fast in the wet anyway

Same here but be more cautious than normal, you'll ken what I mean soon enough.

haha cheers for the warning, dont buy good tyres to drive at 40 on a b road though eh

Ive used the following tyres from new, Toyo T1S, T1R, Parada Spec 2, RE040s, RE050s.

Overall the Bridgestones are my favourite, the Parada's and Toyo's feel great because you've normally come from a set of Potenzas with 20K on them, you listen to the comments on here, get them fitted and think they are great but new for new the Bridgestones are the better IMO, obviously if you raise the £££ bar some more I'm guessing the michelin pilot sport are even better. Like most things you get what you pay for.

i recently purchsed a set off TOYO R888'S very good when warm and they get sticky to when hot car handles a dream

toyo tr1s

Potz

I am using Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tyres and the grip like you would not believe.

Falken ZIEX ZE912

Really impressed with these. Well recommended. :thumbup:

Any one tried Avon zz3's been recommended them as my bridgestones need swapping.

I run Proxes T1R's on 16's purely because for what they cost, there worth it.

Hi I recently bought my 1st ctr and it came with a set of nearly new zz3's fitted. Obviously i have nothing to compare them to but they hold on in the corners on this 100 times better than my previous golf r32, although that always felt like a boat! :scratch:

I have Avon zz3,and I won't be putting them on again,
Pots everytime. Avons were on the car when I bought it,
Found the side Walls way to soft when pushing it.

still trying to find the place. will let you know. unless someone has already found it

Prob us we done them at that 2 years ago but with tyres costing alot more to buy they're now at about £125

Ad08 ATM goin Toyo after trax

Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. Fantastic grip in the dry, i don't push it in the wet but so far no scary moments.
