Yokohama parada spec x

[Black Beast5059]

Looking to get new tires for my 500hp whipple supercharged tahoe. Can anyone who has had these tires let me know if they would give me sufficient grip? I’m trying to stick with all seasons so I can have a longer tread life as it is my daily. As recommended by people in this forum I see that the parada is a pretty sporty/grippy all season. I don’t do any track driving or street racing so it doesn’t have to be superrr grippy but I would like them to be able to hook without chirping all the time. Any info would be appreciated thanks.

What size tire are you looking at?
What size are your rims?
Where are you location; Any winter/snow conditions?
Looking for a one and done year round tire?

285/45 r22 I still have the stock rst wheels I’d like to keep those I like how they look.
I live in Miami so no snow but there is alot of rain sometimes.
Yes I’d prefer all seasons because I drive it alot so summers would wear too fast for me

I don't have much personal experience with the Yokohama Parada Spec X, but I've heard good things about them and Yokohama is a good tire brand. In the past for an all-season performance truck/SUV tire I've used Toyo Proxes. I had the ST-II's on my previous Trailblazer SS pushing over 440HP and they were a great tire! Awesome dry and wet traction, smooth, and quiet. I'd get 75K miles out of them without even rotating them cause I had a staggered set-up.

I now have the Toyo Proxes ST-III's on my Yukon XL Denali and they also have great dry and wet traction, smooth, and quiet. Both the Toyo Proxes ST-II's and ST-III's had superior wet traction. Cruising down the highway at 75-80 mph in a decent amount of rain and no hydroplaning.

I use the Michelin Defender LTX's on my stock 22's. Previously were year round tires and now just used for winters. You can't go wrong with them either.

I've used the Parada Spec-X which is why I recommended it in your other thread. I had them on my old Lincoln Navigator. Tire size was 305/40/23. I had them mounted on 23x10 rims from the Saleen F331 Sport Truck back when Saleen was blowing out its inventory in the mid 2000's.

My Navigator was not boosted so its not an apples to apples comparison with your application but the truck did have a V8 and was fast for what it was at the time. Traction/wear was better than the Nitto 420S that replaced them and I loved the 420S. Please keep in mind that the Parada is a directional tire. Made rotating tires a HUGE pain in the ass. That was the only reason I switched to the Nitto. Of course that was a long time ago. Yokohama may have upgraded the tire since then.

Thanks so much for the help, how many miles did they last you?

I want to say I got 45k out of them with the bulk of that being commuter highway miles.

80 mile round trip commute for work.
3 or 4 1000 mile round trip road trips.
2 or 3 back alley burnouts.

I also towed a 26FT boat 4 to 5 times a season (I'm in Maryland). Avg trip was 3hrs one-way.
