Then please don't generalize. The ES100 is new technology and I haven't heard any bad opinions yet.

Default Well, I bought the Yokohama ES100's. ...
Can't beat the price for $100.99 per tire mounted and balanced. I'll burn them out this summer just like I do any tire so I am not really too worried about tread wear. They are supposed to have phenominal wet and dry traction, with the dry traction of the Kuhmmo MX's having just a slight advantage over the Yoko's, but having a much longer thread wear. (Time will tell on that portion)

Thanks to all who replied.
