What PSI is best for these badboys? I've seen some running atleast 40, but was wondering because the stock runflats are supposed to be at 33. Thanks, and I guess this is a good tire as long as you rotate every 3000k miles or so, from what I've read. Much better than Pirelli RF stockers!? Thanks for the info my MINI brothers and sisters! Peace!

 

I HAVE A SET ON MY COOPER S FOR 2 YRS THESE TYRES ROCK I LOVE THEM
THE PSI I HAVE THEM SET IS 35 LBS. VERY STICKY TYRES

 

regular roads i used at 38.

a little bit a MINI driving in corners use 42

the numbers were Dragon tested

 

IMO these tires are no good. I have them on my car and they seem like they have worn out way to fast. I dont even autocross the car. They were nice and sticky at first but then its like they just lost all their goodness and now they suck. Needless to say the new wheels im gettin are not goin to have them on there. But this is all in what I think......im not trying to bash the tire's or anybody that thinks different.

 

MINI recommends the following for all tires used with MINIs.
Assuming you are using an MCS
For two people:
32 to 33 psi front and rear
For four people:
37 to 38 psi front and rear

While you can use higher pressures for autocross, this is because each run is short and the tires don't really heat up much. Higher pressures (6-10 psi) can be used when it is wet at the track or autocross. As the tire heats up with use for every 10 degrees warmer it raises psi about 1-2 pounds.

 

Thanks guys, so do these PARADAS suck? One dude said they rule, the other said they are horrible! What have I gotten myself into? Give me back my RUNFLATS if they are that bad!! I hope I'm joking about that last statemant! Peace!

 

The Parada2's definitely do NOT suck - I've run these tires on the Dragon, Track, and Autocross and not only did they have far better dry traction than any stock tire, and the Yok ES100 too, but they still lasted for about 18k miles of tire-smoking ABUSE. A bit loud if you don't rotate them like you should, just average in the wet, and minimal rolling resistance. An excellent, inexpensive, summer tire. The Tire Rack rating system is right on track with how they compare to other tires in their class.I may go back to these tires in the future - they're a great general purpose summer tire.

...and to actually answer your question; I ran them somewhere between 38 and 44 PSI, hot, depending on the situation
