i have them... cant say much about them. just got them on my car since monday so i didnt put a lot of miles on it, but so far they seem pretty good

I've found that Yokahama tires perform great, but don't last that long.

Just bought a pair of Falken Azenis and what can i say...... they rock! Accept no substitute. Nearly bought a pair of yoko's but after two work mates hammering me about these.... i gave 'em a try and happy that I did! The tires look wild and even though wear will be quick i think its worth the performance.

well guys, i finally decided to get the ES100...got it installed on friday. The tread design is pretty cool, it looks like it can thread alot of water. Well I drove about 300 miles on them already. Tonight I went out and see how good the traction is for the tires...I don't know if you have to break in the tires or not but I couldn't get traction like I could get with the stock tires (Advan 680). While I was testing out the traction, i was g-teching my car. The best I could do with these tires were 14.7 which is not good as compare to my stock yokohama of 14.0-14.3. However I still need to learn how to launch with these, but once I figure it out, I can make a good excessement. By the way, I have only known how to launch with the stock Yokohama advan 680 so these ES100 is something I have to practice with and try to get the best traction possible. Also taking corners with them are pretty good...its better than the stock tires due to the stiffer sidewall of the ES100. It could be that I just installed ST rear sway bar that taking corners is better than before. I haven't tested these out in the rain yet but when it does, I'll give a review on wet surface. Well that is all folks and by the way, if I had a choice again, I would have gotten the S03 or the Azenis with the treadwear of 220, it is softer so therefore more traction but it is more pricer. Oh well. I well just have to pick up some 15 inch and put some drag radials on, hehe, :) take it easy. lates

i have these tires. they are awesome, very tight on the turns and they haven't slipped on me yet, wet or dry.

i've had them on since december. very smooth ride, not loud at all.

but for the life of me, i can't manage to peel out in them. i don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, or maybe I just haven't broke em in yet.

[Sups]

well if you cant peel out on them, then doesnt it mean they have really good traction? :D

I have had these tires for about a month now and I like them. These tires paired with my hotckhis sways and TRD springs make a good combo. I have taken some turns and it pretty high speeds and they don't squeal at all. They are good tires for the price.

Hey Micron, let us know your secret when you have launching down perfect on these tires :)
