I have looked around for a little while on the forum but could not find what I was looking for. I am looking at replacing the Pirelli run flats with the Yoko Prada Spec's. I am going to get a can of slime and compressor to keep for the emergency times. Who has the Prada's and how do they ride? Have you put them back on after the first set ran out, and how long did they last?

Yokohama Parada Spec-2 has aggressive tread pattern and good handling and traction (wet or dry) but aren't as comfortable and quiet for daily street use. If you plan to track your car they might come in handy.

If you care about noise and comfort then pick something else.

In 205/45-17 (also see the other thread now with question about replacement tires in this size)
Parada Spec-2 is $95 each 300 treadwear (lasts about 15,000-20,000 miles with good tire pressure and rotations), W speed rated 21 lbs each
Old test from 2002 (old tire design)

There are many other options for tires to replace runflats in the stock size.

The big reason I was going to choose these, is that I have heard they do not wander on the grooved cement like most others. Thanks for the info.

 

Many tires will work well enough not to Tramline-
For me the only tire I have ever had that did tramline was Yokohama AVS ES100 in 215/45-17 on a 17x7 wheel with +42 offest and 1" lowered suspension with H-sport springs.

Use tires that are not too wide for a given rim size.
Use proper tire pressure- not overly high.
Higher performance wider or stiff sidewall tires may have higher risk
Replace worn out suspension parts.
Drive in the less used and smoother left lane if available.
Set alignment to factory specs or:
Don't overdo negative camber- especially in the rear.
Don't overdo toe out settings on alignment- especially in front.
There are many factors.

Maybe talk to Alex@tirerack.com

 

I had the Goodyear all season runflats. I had problems with the runflats wandering, they also did not do well in rain or snow. I have since had KUHMO ESCTA ASX and Yokohama AVID W4S, neither of which tramline and both of which are better all season tires than the runflats.
