need to know how long these tires lasted
daily driveing em

and any cons

thanks

 

compared to other tires on my integra , the Yokohama AVS ES100 tires definantely lasted longer ( daily driver ) than the kuhmo tires i had ( ecsta 711 )

 

thats great!
any noise problems?
i read alot of people had noiise problems+bad thread

...
it would be great if you post at what mile did the tires go bald on
thanks

 

ive owned 2 sets.. one on my civic that never went bald.. but i only had them for about 7k. Currently i have a set on my GSR, pretty much brand new, a few months old. They are great, VERY comfortable tires. At first, they are quiet.. but after a few thousand miles you will hear some noise. Great in all conditions.. Although, i have had a set of Falken Ziex before.. I thought those were very nice street tires, def. much more quiet. Go for the Potenza S-03s though.. they are on sale.

 

Depending on driving conditions, i heard they are suppose to last around 9 months. They are suppose to be fairly good for grip so they wear pretty fast. They do get more noise as time passes.

 

i've had them for about 12k or so.. still got plenty of thread.. and i can't really complain about the noise. but then again, i usually have music up anyhow.

 

tony i know how you drive, those bastards will last 6 months but if you got azenis they would last 4 months! muuuuahhahahaha.

wHAT!!!!!
i drive like a grannie
lol

 

I have had a set of 195/15/50's for about 8-9K now and still probably have another 20k+ left, paid $50 a piece. Real improvement over all season...MUCH stiffer side walls and handleing. I drive average, and will get around 30k on them. Little noise after break in but nothing above normal. Great buy.

 

I'm also on my second set. There are no bad things about them. I had the first set for about 30k when I sold the wheels and there was still a bit of tread left.

 

I have a set of es100s now, on my old car I had a set of Ziex ZE-502s....

es100s are far superior tires IMO...
I have a set of allseasons on steelies I got when I bought this car, so hopefully I won't have to worry about the es100s in the snow

I have about 10k on mine and they seem like they have quite a bit of life left to them.

 

no one experiance any unbareable noises?


i ordered em

 

i got around 24k miles out of my ES100. Unbearable noises came when tread was really low.

getting louder everyday

 

good tire for everyday driving, a lil noisy tho

 

How are these tires in the rain. How is the grip of the tires compared to the kuhmo mx and azenis on dry pavement.

 

About 7.5-8k to get to the cords on the rear of my E36 M3(245/40-17). Fronts had about 10-12k in them.

They're an alright street tire, but seem to just liquidify at the track. I personally like my Kumho 712's much better than the ES100's, especially for the street. Less noise and very comparable traction with the ES100's having just a hair more(almost imperceptible).

 

Anyone have reviews of this tire in the snow?

 

Very good tires overall, never heard any reviews of them in the snow though.

 

I had a set of 205 40 17's on my teg and they were nosie as all hell. I got rid of them and got khumo 711's and they are much quiter. The es 100's are more sticky and girp better. Also the es 100's look better but the treadwear on the 711's are 340 and the es 100's are 280 so the es 100's have a pretty short life as far as daily driving goes. There are better tires for the money than the es 100's but its up to you man.

haha...they suck in the snow. (like every other summer tire)
It was very scary driving on them even with chains.

do yourself a favor and don't drive in the snow w/ them

 

There bad in the snow like all summer tires. Sadly though, they actually turned out to be my winter tires because I had the es100's on my stock rims 2 seasons ago ande I bought new rims and tires, and I put my stock rims on in the winter but just never bought winter tires
Sucks but I barely drive my car in the winter anyway. They're not that bad, just drive slow. And dont drive up steep hills .

 

I've liked them so far in the rain, stay under control for the most part.

 

I know people who have used both the Kumho 712's and the ES100's and they all say the ES100's are TONS better, including quieter, than the 712's.

Another friend has 711's and tried on my ES100's back when I was on my previous set (205/50-15) and he didn't want to give them back.

Like everyone else said, they are quiet at first, but do start to get noisy, especially right around 40 mph.

I'm on my 2nd set (205/50 last time, 195/50 this time). My last set lasted me 35K miles, and that's with -2.5 camber in front.

I currently have about 10K on my current set. They are just starting to get noisy, but oh well, wind noise and stereo drowns it out.

And they are AWESOME in the rain
