Tein S-tech springs with new Parada Spec 2 tires

I just ordered Tein's S-Tech springs and a set of yokohama Parada spec 2's(215/40 17)...Any feedback on the tires would be great, not much experience with them...

I wanted either S-03's or Pirelli's new PZero Nero, but couldn't deal with the treadlife anymore...

I am holding off on struts for at least another month. Car isn't seeing much driving and probably won't through the summer either. I am waiting as long as I can for Tokico Illumina's, but if they don't get around before the stock struts are farting like a grandparent I will just go with the MSP...By the way, the Mazdaspeed's Tokico struts are not adjustable right? I can't remember, so I will search...

I will post some pics this weekend after the spring install...

Happy with my Parada 2's so far...really sticks to the ground! However they BLOW when they come in contact with ice or snow (duh)...it was +10C up here a week ago, sunny, dry, great week, put the rims on...then BAM! 10 cm of snow on the ground since Monday...I can barely make it up a hill with them

Yeah man I bought winter tires back in December, and it is supposed to snow here this weekend...So I guess I will just install the new springs and wait another week or so to put the wheels on...

How are they in the rain?? I know they won't be as good as S-03's or Nero's but compared to the stock Dunlops?
