Need help choosing tires...........
I am looking at the Yoko AVS ES100 and the Kumho Ecsta SPT. I am looking for a high performance budget tire. I have the Bridgestone Potanza S-02 PP right now and I was very happy with them. I need to replace and don't have a lot of money to spend. Other suggestions are also welcome. Thanks in advance, -Mike

Just put some General Exclaim UHPs on my A6 and like them so far...
Great ride, plenty of stick on my test drive tonight (dry conditions), and excellent turn in (235/45x17).
Did the comparison to the Ecsta SPT and opted to go with these for the following reasons:
- less expensive ($76 vs. 89 at TR)
- will handle a bit of snow if I get caught before changing over to my winter wheels
Tirerack.com has a great review that compares the two <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftests%2FtestResultsMode l.jsp%3FtireMake%3DGeneral%26tireModel%3DExclaim%2 BUHP%26vehicleSearch%3Dtrue%26fromCompare1%3Dyes%2 6partnum%3D345WR7EUHP">(here)</a>. I could have easily gone with the Ecsta's (which did a little bit better in the test) but opted for the General because of it's better user ratings and the two reasons cited above. Good luck!
