I get all of my tire at the Tire Rack. Try tirerack.com. Parada Spec 2s are under $100 for most sizes. Tire Rack has an excellent tech line you can call for any question. Their website has tons of customer testimonials-people write about how good or crappy each tire is. They will also sell competition tires, already heat cycled and ready for the track.

Were do you get these for cheap Yokohama Parada Spec 2s.

I live by the Sumitomo tarmac tires. Try the HTR-Zs. Inexpensive and grippy. Lots of rave reviews from drag racers who use 'em on the track.

I don't know about real track performance, (I have a DX Coupe)but I have some 195/50/15 Kumho Ecsta AST's on my new rims; they look pretty badass with the directional tread, and when I launch my car from 5000rpm or so the tires don't let out much more than a chirp. The car corners like its on rails now too!Now I wantstiffer sway bars and strut bracesto take full advantage of the corners.

I haven't had the tires for very long, but so far I'm very happy with them! Only $58.00 a tire on sale and I got lifetime replacement warranty and freerotationthru discount tire.
