I know I already chipped in for the Falkens, but before I had the 451's, I was on ES100's. I can't say much for tire wear yet, but the Falkens are a better performing tire in everyway over the ES100's. Better in the dry and far superior in the wet. For the same $ or less depending where you get them.

Somewhere out there on the intarweb is a tire review that put the 451 up against the likes of the Goodyear F1 GSD3, Michelin PS2 and a few others. The 451 held it's own pretty good against much more expensive tires. I was going to pop for the Goodyear F1's this time around, even had the wife talked into it. But decided to give the Falkens a chance. I am not disappointed, and I'm not quite so worried about chewing them up a little

 

Definately ES100 are t3h suck
