currently i'm using pilot preceda and gonna change soon bcoz its old enuf alrdy and served me well, and since preceda was discontinued, i'm gonna change to PS3 but few weeks back when i went to this particular accessories shop, i saja2 wanna ice breaking wif the seller and asking him about parada vs ps3 since i saw a poster about parada there... then he told me ps3 is not good, wet driving is not as good as parada... but when i ask the price, he told me its 2xx per donut but ps3 is 3xx per donut... i tell myself mayb this seller juz wanna "cool story" about his own product only but the words keep playing in my mind...

any1 here has the proper fact/datasheet for comparison between these 2 brand? thx..

It seems every tireman also say their product is better than the PS3

I have no experience with the neither, but tyrereviews.com does not rate the parada favourable.

Yokohama Parada Spec2
Michelin PS3

Between this two, I would say just stick to PS3, since it is a proven product.

Parada Spec 2 has been in the market for quite some time whilst the PS3 has been around for just a tad lil' newer.

Based on actual reviews from users that I know - the PS3 succeeds its mentioned comparator here the Parada Spec 2. IMHO I think it's not fair to rate the PS3 against the Parada...a worthy comparator would be the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2.

wow.. thx for the link.. differ by big points... then confirm la ps3 is better... thx again...

Whats your tire size man? there are a few cheaper alternatives to PS3 as well

195/55/15... if can i wanna maintain the 55 thickness since i need it.. if cannot find then only go for 50..

tires more expensive in East Malaysia? I think PS3 for that size less than RM300 here in Peninsular.

Anyway, someone in Saga thread post this tire

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Neuton/NT8000.htm

I think it's less than RM200 here.

damn, the review is so good but i never heard of this brand, so sure i cant find it here... haiiizz... will look for it... thx btw..

I've used the Parada Spec-2 in this specification before & if your ears can take it, they are actually quite grippy. Just get ready when you aquaplane, they catch slides pretty quickly (and violently)

Yes, Parada is noisy and it performs quite bad in wet surface, dry and hot surface it is good.

Previously I'm using Parada and now ps3.

Parada is very noisy. Once I change to ps3 that time, drive on highway I can immediately notice the difference.

Wet performance, ps3 is good. On dry, I too think ps3 still has an edge over the Parada.

parada should be better than ps3 during dry.

but yeah, you lose out on wet/noise/comfort, so its a lot of trade off for just dry grip

parada only available in 50 profile i think. even difference in price already know which is better better compare ps3 and s drive.

i used to use pp3 and when i switched to xm2... regret kau kau, tyre no grip and cacat....

so i think if you're at the pilot range, stick to the pilot range.

thx for the advice.. will do.. hehehehe

Michelin PS 3 was really good . use on 195/55/15 up & down hill Genting Highland on a wet surface is not a problem .. as long proper alignment & camber ..

I would take the PS3 over the parada anytime. The person who sold you the tire doesn't know what he is selling to be honest.

this.

if the seller mentioned better dry grip, cheaper price point, good for track usage etc, ok la.
but yeah, idiot seller lol

its a no fight! ps3 winds hand down.
grip / traction in wet and dry, braking distance... you name it.

Personally I think PS3 grip is better than Parada.
