Default opinions on yokohama parada spec-2 tires

I was wondering if anyone has ever had these tires before and if so how did you like them? I am interested in buying these since my tire of choice(falken azenis) are not made in the size I need. So any complaints or compliments about this tire would help me out greatly.
Thanks everyone

I have not tried thoes exact ones but I just purchased the AVS100 by yokohama and they are amazing. I was looking are the Parada but the were too expensive seeing as you were getting the same thing with the AVE100 for less money. Anyway thats just my opinion sorry I could not help out anymore.

I bought my Paradas before the Spec two came out (A month before....:ermm Anyway, the original Paradas were such a big difference from the original Michilins (misspelled) that it was a night and day comparision... supposedly the Spec 2s are even better to the point where Yokohama does not recommend mixing original and Spec 2 on the same axle.. and if you have to mix them on the car.. stick them in the rear.

All I can say.. I can now take cloverleafs fast enough to make my engine smoke for a few seconds.

from what I have seen on the advertisements on the es100s.. they are a quiet tyre. The parada spec 1's I have can get quite noisy over most surfaces.
