Yokohama AVS ES100's
I only had them on my car for 2 days before I was T-Boned, but thus far, I have to say I like them better than the Yokohama AVS Sports.
Very tacky tires.

Really? I thought the ES100 was a lower end comfortable/affordable performance tire while the AVS Sports are a high end hard core performance tire. The ES100's are supposed to be a bit better than 712's and the AVS Sports are meant to compete with S02's.
And what happened to your car???

S-03s are pretty expensive, i don't wanna keep buying sets of those and actually go with *cheaper* tires just to try them out, and maybe slide a little more 
The S-03s spoil me, i must temper my driving fun out with lower priced tires once in a while.

SO3's are really good tires, but they are pricey.
I've had 712's, AVS sports, SO2's, SP9000, T1S's, etc, etc.
I can honestly say, I like the ES100's more than any of them, minus the SO2pp's. They are about equal to the T1S's, though the T1's grip harder, they are also very unpredictable.

Stiffer side wall = better
Though, you do get that annoying "line walking".

I've been very close to buying the ES100s on a few occasions but never pulled the trigger. I picked up a set of RE92s CHEAP for the time being (and winter. READ: TAHOE baby!!). The reviews of the ES100s look better than the 712s on tirerack and they even say that they have better treadlife than the 712s, but I would like to hear from some of you guys before I get the tires.
I think mr. kwon and I were having a discussion on this very topic about two months ago and neither one of us have pulled the trigger yet.
