Default ES100 seem to be better in comparison...
Go to TireRack and check out their test comparo of 712, ES100, and HTRZ-II.

Default i had the ES100's on my previous car before the wheels were stolen....
the tires were great. very grippy &amp; very quiet. i tried to get them to squeal on me so many times, but they never gave way. choose what you like the best, but these tires are great. you probably can't go wrong with either one of them

They are a little bit more, but the Toyo T1S are complementary to the high quality of the wheels ;-)

Default Re: Toyo T1-S are good tires!
look to roughly spend &gt;$160 per tire.

i've read good reviews about them also.

Default Where did you get those OZ Racing Vela II's?
I'm looking for 18" Vela I (the original design, one-piece)... Did the place from which you bought your Vela II's have Vela I's?

Thanks!

Brian
