Mine are the Spec 2s...yeah, the grip is excellent, but they're way too noisy.

if you're planning on using Paradas for daily driving, you should be rolling on AVS ES100s...

...but the Paradas are supposed to have better dry traction, and have a treadwear rating of 300 compared to 280 on the ES100s

Once I get my AVS up front too, I'll let you know how they compared to my Paradas...I know they'll be better in the rain, we'll see about the dry.
