I've always wanted to try these out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=66475they include free shipping so that's not a bad price considering that's $87 a tire. I've never used these before so I don't know how good they are though.

Yokohama Parada Spec-2
^ Looking at them tires. But it says what i posted below, and im wondering what this means?
NOTE: As a result of the increase in grip, Parada and Parada Spec-2 tires cannot be mounted on the same axle. If mixed in axle pairs on a vehicle, Parada Spec-2 tires must be used on the rear axle with the original Parada tires used on the front axle.

You should be ok probally someone excessively launched their car and broke an axle and blamed them for it. I am around people with slicks and never had a problem

Parada Spec IIs own... I run them on the GSX. 4000RPM AWD launches and they haven't messed up anything drivetrain yet. They will be fine on the Tiblet.
I'm running BF Goodrich G-Force Sport T/As on the Tib right now. Awesome tire as well.

the problem with the parada and the parada spec2... the spec2 is a REAL Ultra high performance tire.. the original parada was not. It was a Tuner (read rice) special that looked pretty, but did not do as much for performance as it looked like it could.
Because of the differences in grip between the original and Spec2, if you use one each on the two wheels of the drive axle, you will NEVER get the proper amount of power down to the ground as the original will spin long before the spec2. Conversely, if used on the rears in the same fashion, the original will loose grip faster than the Spec2 and be more apt to give the car oversteer on that side than on the side of the newer variety.
Running all 4 of the same on your car is the best way to do it.
