    I have them on all four wheels. In dry hot conditions the grip is outstanding verging on sensational, in anything else forget it. They are chronic in the wet. They are a hard compound and need heat for the grip to come in, they are often used on track cars in hot conditions. As a general tyre they are chronic. Plenty of reviews on the internet to back me up. In the dry summer you will be like schumacher though, not a lot will keep with you in the bends:D

    I reckon Gary has driven these in the dry only? They are a summer tyre and pretty popular with Scooby and mitsi drivers. They last longer than anything I have had on before:D

    +1 on what kermitpwee said.
    I have a full set at the moment that will need replacing soon. They've been great in warm/dry weather but average in the wet. The Parada's have lasted much longer (3 years / 50000km so far) than my previous Continental Sport Contact 2. The Continenals were better in the wet and I think, produced less road noise.
