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.

Sounds good, i'm thinking about getting a set of those as my replacement summer/street tires when my S-03s wear out.

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.

Thats only because they had really stiff sidewalls. SO2pp's have softer sidewalls, thats why they didnt follow lines as much.

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

I have been very impressed with with the es 1000's so far
they were very cheap, like $89 for 16's
I don't really have much to compare them to

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.

EDIT: (12-07-02) This forum has been a frenzy of activity (this post is still on page 1 a week later )
