Review on Yokohama Parada Spec-X 225/65 R17 102H summer by Agata Paliga ᠌

Satisfied with tires. The first impression is that it is softer than the winter Nokian Hakapelita 8. At least not harder. Noise, one might say weak, does not bother, despite the aggressive tread pattern. The most interesting thing is that I changed my shoes to this rubber without waiting for the guaranteed spring weather. Because of what, a week later, I ran into both ice and snow. In the snow, the tire felt confident, despite the fact that the summer. On the ice, of course, she slid, like all even winter ones. On frozen asphalt, with melted snow, it also had reliable grip. Of course, I didn’t get impudent, I drove carefully in bad weather, but there were situations when I had to slow down more actively. Thus, the rubber was randomly tested experimentally in winter conditions - the test went well. As for the positive temperature, we can say the following. With an aggressive tread pattern, the car has no discomfort in the mud, clings to uneven ground and drives out calmly. The softness of the rubber is really comfortable. Compared to the winter Nokian Hakapelita 8, it eats up even more bumps and cracks in the asphalt. Therefore, without a doubt, I pumped up the tires to the parameters specified by the auto manufacturer - 2.3. On the winter ride for comfort with a pressure of 2.2. Feelings of softness, in principle, remain the same. To be honest, I haven’t been in the rain and deep puddles yet, I won’t talk about hydroplaning. I'll ate my comment sometime later. Since the rubber is soft, a pleasant longitudinal buildup appeared in the car, which does not absolutely affect handling. There is no transverse buildup, rubber allows you to reliably keep the course. Before buying, I heard an opinion from individual pseudo-specialists that the composition of the rubber is bad, whole pieces of the tire break out on leaky asphalt, and, supposedly, you can’t turn the steering wheel on this rubber while standing still. All these are delusions! The rubber composition is normal, durable, like all good tires. General impressions are only positive. I recommend! You will not regret.
