Performance Analysis
Drawn from 1 tests. Updated October 29, 2026.
The Yokohama Parada Spec 2 finished last of eight in Auto Bild's 2013 Performance Summer Tyre Test in 225/35 R18. The testers praised short dry braking distances and excellent rolling resistance, but found severely poor aquaplaning resistance and described wet stopping distances as dangerously long.
This single comparison shows a marked dry-versus-wet compromise: the dry stopping and efficiency advantages did not offset the wet-road weaknesses in its overall placing. No individual discipline placings or distances are available, so the size of those differences cannot be quantified and there is no repeated test record to establish consistency.
