They do loads of different compounds, do you know what sizes he was running?
You need to test them back to back on the same car, his handling could be very different or he could have the wrong size or the wrong pressures so not a fair comparison really.
Not having a go at all buddy but saying things like "i still dont think 888's are worth it when the paradas are equally as good in the dry and twice the tyre in the wet" isn't really sensible when you haven't even tried them personally.
I have and I can tell you 888's, in my opinion, are a better tire but everyone will have different views. Diplomacy is key
I love Yokahama, I run the a048r semi slicks in the dry and they are excellent but the Parads are just a sports tire, more compairable with a Proxy T1R sports tire, in which case I think they Parada are better but not against a 888 that is a semi slick cut tire that's just silly!
