night and day comparison. paradas are a hell of a lot better. much better wet traction as to the scorcher's non existent wet traction. the paradas are asymetrical and directional. very nice. scorchers are good if you live inlike arizona and you never have to worry about anything but dry traction. only good thing about scorchers is they colored burnouts and the g-techs other than that not worth it specially since the paradas are like 40 dollars cheaper per tire

i dunno where you plan on gettin these but some places charge more for doin certain brands of tires. yokohama's are a huge bitch in general don't let someone charge you extra for installing them. never did scorchers cause we (NTB) steer people away from them. but comparing like comp t/a's to yok's the yok's are harder sooo

you can tell which is better by comparing treads. look how the paradas pull water from the inside to the channel on the out side with small syphs(sp) to push it out no look at the scorchers. syphs to pull the water to the out side channels but no syphs to let the water out of the channels there for easily causing hydroplaning.
