Parada good???? haha i think u prefer comfort with performance... Parada is nothing compare to RSR and R1R la... but u must buy tires by priority, grip in dry and wet??? then comfort or handling??? and do you hate noisy tires... then u only u filter the tire that you want...
if you are using Parada then i think you are on 195/50 R15...

Parada quite good for daily usage biggrin.gif 595 RS-R is not as good as FTZ RR, so now i still looking for FTZ RR, since i travel only 20KM per day and 9am go out and back 9pm, the surface temperature can give me 12000KM for FTZ RR brows.gif ( slowly drive nia la laugh.gif )
So far I love R1R the most, foe me, it's one of the best street tires i can put on my car biggrin.gif

Semi slicks is good for short distance driving as it drains very fast, but still, my next tire is FTZ RR front and R1R at the back biggrin.gif

if the car still run straight line with hands off the steering, there is no need for an alignment. unless the suspension changed.
wheel balancing should be foc.

btw, installed the Thunderer tires yesterday morning for testing purpose. covered 278km. feels like running on semi-slick. just kidding  tongue.gif
noise level is okay for a new tire. quite promising but need to wait till tire fully run-in. no chance to whack it in wet yet.

How much for your Thai tire? What model you bought?

Edited:
Anyway, I thought the Traction rating (A, AA ) are depend on the manufacturer themselves? Cos personally I tested AA and A rated tire, the A rated performs better than the AA sweat.gif

haha really depends on what tire you on la... Traction rating is for grip... sweat.gif the one that you buy is what brand and what model... some tires very bad also...

really wan to know what tire are you talking about mind to tell... traction A perform better than traction AA... wow...

Like I said, i think is the factory rated it themselves, I was running semi-slick all the times and changed to street tire recently biggrin.gif
Anyway, the AA and A I talked about, I was comparing Yokohama and Federal and Toyo.
