I've had the 16" Parada Spec2s for about a year now. No complaints. Mind you, I'm not a track racer. But on the streets as cornering, high speed comfort, stability, handling and such goes, they rock. I haven't tried the Toyos, so I can't really compare them personally. They have a great tire wear rating too, providing that you treat them right.
Cheers,
Cheers,

215/45-17 Toyo T1-S for very good handling, light weight, and less road noise than the Parada Spec-2 (a more common choice in 215/35-18)
The Spec-2 tread does look aggressive

If your looking at Parada's, consider the sister tire AVS ES 100 too. These seem like everybody's favorite tire. Mine were great too.
For my next tire, I'm leaning towards the T1S too, especially now since they've ceased making 'em (replaced by the T1R) they're cheap.
hehe, reviving old threads are great fun.

i have the T1-Rs, they are pretty good, but not great, well they are good enough for me, I have to go in corners pretty darn fast to make them squeak. car and driver did a tire test with all the big name sport tires and the T1-Rs did not hold up to the competition. you should look that article up.

EDIT: just purchased a set of the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s in 225/50/16... for $98/each
(regular price $148!) as I've only got about 4000 miles left on my set of T1-Ss. Tirerack is having a special in certain sizes.
