well the stickier the tire, the lower the tread ware is usually. the paradas have like a 300 treadware and are pretty good for the $ and I think better than the 7000. Check the rest on tirerack and they should have some more information.

Well right now, on the civic I have Nitto 450s and I really cant say anything about them bad. They have been good to me ever since I bought the rims back in June of 01. I have only replaced 2 tires in 1 year (I have a camber kit, not like all those other lowered hondas going around replacing tires every 3 months) and they have been a good tire through wet and dry weather. But this is FWD car, not RWD. What tires get a good rating here?

Lucky Lucky and your closer to Japan, so you get all the parts, all you need to do is swim. But All season tires, are basically anything that has some decent tread pattern IMHO

Shoot I was on the highway doing 70 today in heavy rain. Feels good to have treads that cast water away.

Ya know I saw a commercial on TV the other day watching speedvision for toyot tires, they actually look like good tires. I see alot of people with them and was wondering if they were any good, but now i know.
