They're the replacement in the Yoko range for the A539, if the 539's are anything to go by they'll be great handling tyres just a touch soft. ;)

I work with a guy who fitted these to his Clio cup for a track day, he then used them on the roads when he could be bothered to change them back and says they are very good grippy tyres unless it wet when they turn to ditch finders.
For an allround he went back to Goodyear f1's.

Ive just been quoted £740 for RS4 hyper blacks 18"(225/45) and a set of YOKO PARADAs. The tyres can be had for £100/ corner May be a bit soft and not last long but should give good grip.

I have these on my Golf.

Great grippy tyres, i personally found they were still great in the wet, and greasy roads too.

But as already stated, they are soft. I've done 5k in mine and they are about 2mm from the wear bars. Dang.

I think it's something to do with the fact that they are made from melted down elastic bands, i fitted a set to my then Audi 90 in 95 and found them the same very very grippy in the dry but gone in a flash.
