Well as most of you know I am running the Yokohama Parada Spec2s this winter for lack of any other option. And with 6†plus of the white stuff on the ground you know what happened. I was at a customer’s house on Saturday detailing his wife’s car when it started to snow and by the time I left there was about 4†on the ground.
I got out and there was no plow in site. So I said lets see what my own skill can do to get me home (oo and the speed6’s AWD can help too). I started out and never looked back. It was like there was no snow on the ground at all. I was up to 25 before you could say wait a second these are summer only skips on here. It even stopped on a dime.
I could easily out accelerate a 4x4 pick which I had to do once just to make the guy go “WAAAAâ€. When I got home there was nothing but a big smile on my face until the snow blower broke and I had to shovel half the drive.
I told myself, that was in the snow and not ice, so don’t count on these things being crap on ice. So I did a test at the Wally world lot and sure enough they performed as good as any tire can on ice.
So in the end I think it may be the big huge gaps in the tread the make it so good in the deep snow. It is my skill that makes it good on ice and a bit of that credit can go to the traction control.
So Yokohama Parada spec2s snow tires? A big yes to me.
I make no claim that these will work for anyone else and hereby state that for legal reasons.
