Hello everyone need to get some more tyres for my GTI was looking at Yokohama Pradas Spec 2 are they any good?
I'm running them on my 18's and have had them about the last 5k or so.
My thoughts are that in the dry, very grippy and cut down on the wheelspin I was getting with the previous Michelin SportContact 2s, although I will say not massively so.
Wet grip though, is really not very good, I find that once it starts raining the handling falls off the cliff, definitely exacerbated in the winter. Cold and wet is not a combination this tyre likes. Certainly not dangerous, but you definitely need to be on the ball.
Another plus is they look cool! Should be the bottom of your priorities, though worth mentioning.
If you want all weather predictable handling they are not the tyre to go for and given the weather in this country the majority of the time, I won't be choosing again when their time is up.
I'm going to go back to either Potenzas or the Sport Contacts, both pretty equal and still very good handling all year round.
