Review on Yokohama Parada Spec-X 225/65 R17 102H summer by Andrey Georgiev Popo ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unattractive product, unprofitable purchase.

Up until the second year, nobody mentioned anything about the tire other than its narrow tread pattern (it is still intact, providing a smooth ride and responsive handling). I didn't notice the front axle's rubber peeling at the margins until the second season, when the maintenance master urged me to keep an eye out for the tiny lamellas that had been chopped off with a blade and hung to dry. I made sure the breaker was working properly. It's assumed that this effect is caused by the gradual accumulation of small stones that finally obstruct nearly the whole tread. Overall, the manufacturer let me down; I went through roughly 20,000 of them. 2022 Chevrolet Captiva 2.4L, 19"

Pros
  • Gentle, silent, and well-managed.
Cons
  • Stone-filled and relatively narrow tread. After two years (assuming a suitable manufacturing year and storage environment), the rubber started to peel.
