Tire Review: 20" Yokohama Parada Spec-X by elerner61

After putting 2,000 miles on these tires and some recent snow storms I'm happy to report that they did just fine. Quiet on the highway and handle nicely in the wet/snow/dry. I never even gave the Bridgestones a go in the snow, they were off at Thanksgiving. They are available in the OEM size. Tire Rack can order them for you, they did not have them in stock.

Great to know! Thanks for telling.
I have had my eyes on the Parada also.
All reviews seem to praise its balanced performance (unlike the OE Bridgestone).
Too bad that my tires are still relatively new (at 13,000 miles only).

If you leased your CX-9 then why not switch to the Parada's now? Your Bridgestones aren't going to last the length of the lease and you'll have to buy a new set of tires anyway so you don't get dinged when you turn it back in. Put the Bridgestones back on when the Parada's wear out (towards the end of the lease)
 
This is only if you have to drive in the snow. If you live in the South, then the Bridgestones should be fine.

The OE Bridgestone is rated 260 A A. i.e. Not very long-lasting.
As a rule of thumb, a rating of 250 probably gives you 25,000 miles of traveling.
The OE tires are good summer tires (though rated M+S/all-season), but very bad for snow-covered roads.
 
I have my eyes on the Yoko Parada Spec-X. The amount of great review on tirerack.com can't be wrong. I have purchased many tires from them based on reviews, and never got disappointed yet.
 
I own my CX9, not leased. Therefore, I have to wear out this OE set first. They are not bad in CA weather (dry and occasionally wet - no snow). People who live in snowy regions should not rely on the OE tires to get them pass the winter.

We have a 2007 CX 9 with 32K , balanced and rotated every 10K or so they're wearing well. I expect we'll get about 40-45K out of them. Living in Florida they've been a good tire but I'm leaning toward replacing them with Yokohama Parada's when the time comes. Yoko appears to have a better tire at a much better price,

I've been looking at the Prada's for my 06 Rav. What concerns me is that Yoko offers no tread wear warrenty. That seems strange.

Why did you say that?
Quote from Yokohama website.... (go to yokohamatires.com and look for Parada Spec-X)
 
Warranty Eligibility
This warranty applies to every Yokohama replacement passenger car, light truck and temporary spare tire bearing the Yokohama brand name and complete Department of Transportation serial identification number and operated during normal highway use (commercial applications excluded) in the United States. These tires are covered by this warranty for the life of the original usable tread depth (the original tread depth down to the level of treadwear indicators molded at 2/32 inch (1.6 mm)) or for 60 months from the date of purchase (proof of purchases required) or 72 months from the date of manufacture (if no proof of purchase available), whichever comes first.

I am very upset about the Bridgestone Tires that came on my CX-9. I live in the Midwest and Snow/Ice traction is very important. I cannot believe the horrible reviews on these tires. I had some Yokohamas on our Minivan that we traded in and they were the best tires on snow and ice that I have ever owned. Has anyone had luck getting a dealer or Mazda to replace the Bridgestones? or at least give a credit towards better tires for us Midwest folk?

HA! Yah right.
 
Winter is not any better here in New England. Unless you can work a deal upon purchase of the car, you are SOL. Go buy youself with some Yoko's or winter tires/rims like I did (Blizzak)
