Can we get those for the stock Evo rims?

Sure can! The ES100 is produced in the stock 235/45-17 sizing. I currently have them in stock as well.

how does the ES100 compaer to the Parada Spec2?

Neal@tirerack

The Parada is probably the closest thing to a street racing tire Yokohama makes. The aggressive tread design makes for excellent dry and wet traction, as well as steering response. The tire wears pretty well, ride can be a bit stiff and its not a quiet tire. They really are two different animals. The ES100 is a bit more pratical for everyday use. However, if you don't mind a bit less ride comfort and a bit more noise, the Parada can be an awesome tire! Check out the reviews:

Its odd, people either love or hate the Parada. I know in my autocross friends, everyone hates them. They say the ES100 has better grip and tendencies. Odd....

My experience in autocrossing and road racing the ES100 is a step above the parada. dont' know about wear, but grip is just a notch above and more responsive. Might be a more experienced tire though the fall off is greater on the es100 though. Parada may be slightly more catchable.

i have parada spec2 they are the first set of performance tire i ever got in my life...and i could totally tell the difference between parada than stock yokohamas..the tread wear on parada2 are 300 but the ES100 is 280..so im guessing the ES have more grip than parada2?
so far i heavent skid out or loose control in my parada spec 2, i love the handeling.. it feel like im riding on rail thru the canyon, i could totally feel the wheel gripping and keep me in the lane. but again..i heavent try anything beside parada sepc 2 so cant really tell the difference...
just looking for anyone who had ES100 and paradaspec2 and know the differences....
im just wonderin if the ES100 is better..maybe ill try it for my next set of tires after 30k miles(thats what they say the parada spec2 will last if u drive hard)
im a big fan of YOKOHAMA im pretty sure im gonna keep w/ yokohama...dunno why i love them so much tho..

The Parada 2 does wear a bit better than the ES100 does, but not by much. General rule is higher the wear rating #, longer the tire lasts. Tires with lower wear ratings tend to have a bit more grip as well, but in this case, the difference is very minimal. With these two tires, the handling difference has a bit more to do with the tread designs and compounds.


Each manufacturer grades its tires under the Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) labeling system and establishes ratings for treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. These tests are conducted independently by each manufacturer following government guidelines to assign values that represent a comparison between the tested tire and a control tire. While traction and temperature resistance ratings are specific performance levels, the treadwear ratings are assigned by the manufacturers following field testing and are most accurate when comparing tires of the same brand. Actual performance of the tire can vary significantly depending on conditions, driving habits, care, road characteristics, and climate.

That is an awesome tire as well. It is in a performance category one higher than the ES100, so its more performance oriented. This tire treads water great, holds corners well, and delivers great steering response. Unfortunately, they are on a large backorder from Good Year right now.

I've heard good things on those as well. No personal experience though.

Just ordered my ES100's (245/40WR17). That'll be my daily driver tire. I'm going to get something a lot more aggressive next spring if I start autox'in.

I wonder how these will perform:



They seem promising when you examine the specs. The tread blocks are pretty big and on a tire sized 235/40ZR17 the weight is at a claimed 23.8 lbs. If I remember correctly, the Falken Azenis at 245/45ZR17 weighed in at 28 lbs. each.

What do you guys think about this as a competition tire?
