Best Tyres for the Alfa Romeo 145 T Spark

After 6 years and 35.000 km on the road the conclusion is that this is, maybe, the best tyre I've ever bought for my car. For sure there are better tyres out there in the market, we all agree to that. But INFINITY turns out to be a very strong and valuable player.
The grip and brake on the wet are surprisingly little better than on dry terrain and even near the limit I was always confident that I have control without to worry about unpleasant surprises.
Now days, as expected, the driving is dangerous, the tyres are dry and not efficient anymore. But still have a lot of material on the tread, wear is something that never bothered me. For example, in comparison with Nexen N blue hd plus, wear was something a had to have in mind because pieces were falling off the tread. With Infinity never had to worry about wear. Unfortunately, for some reason, the brand is no more distributed in my country and that sucks. I'm about to try TOYO PROXES COMFORT as replacement.

I chose these over the usual budget tyres and so far I've been very impressed.

Dry grip is impressive and predictable. They are very sure-footed through standing water and in wet or greasy conditions. They make a passable winter tyre.

Feedback is a little slow... though a lower profile might offer more feel... but the Coopers are progressive and stable. They never spring any nasty suprises.

The tyres are comfortable and provide a smooth and quiet ride. In cold weather they do get noticeably firmer.

Tyre wear may vary with the season. I imagine tyre wear may increase when it's hot out there .. but seems reasonable so far.

Have a pair on front of my Alfa 145 1.8 tspark, which were fitted when bought car. Have to admit been pleasantly surprised, as they give good dry and very acceptable wet grip with good feedback and so had no moments, even though i push car somewhat at times in wet and dry!! Can't comment on life as not done enough miles but seem ok so far, therefore recommended as a good budget tyre!

For the money, not bad at all. Were fitted when bought car but been through some serious rain downpours pressing on and never felt there were any grip issues. Compare very favourably with more expensive makes i've tried and therefore can be recommended. Not sure of wear rate, as not done loads of miles yet but looking good so far! Also seem quite quiet so far for low pro tyre.

Parada is an excellent tyre.. Dry grip is pretty phenominal, ride is pretty good and the road noise is pretty subdued. Love how it looks compared to the directional designed by robot stuff... :)

I imagine that used hard and in anger the wear rate would rise since even on a UK hot-day motorway run you can see the tread getting sticky-hot.. but mine seem to be lasting well.

I don't agree with the comments about wet grip... but maybe my car just has good balance. I was surprised by how good the wet grip actually is, especially when you look at the tread pattern.. but you do have to understand that this is a summer tyre and so it needs to be warmed up before you can sling it around in the wet.

It's very progressive though so you can work out when you can lean on it and when you should dial in a bit more opposite lock.. :D

Good tyre, good price and I would have another set.. :
