I have heard good things about the yoko's as long as you don't have to drive in the snow. I ocassionaly will have to drive in snow so I am kinda leaning towards the sumitomo's. I searched and couldn't find much on these though. Price wise, these are within a dollar of each other, so that is not an issue. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

 

Well, the ES100 is a summer tire, so it's no wonder that they perform poorly in snow. The HTR+ is all-season, so the compromise it makes is *some* snow traction and less dry grip. Decide what you want your tires to do first (meaning --> summer tires + winter tires vs. all-season tires) and then pick one. If you're only going to have one set of tires/wheels, then DEFINITELY get all-season tires.

 

i roll the yok's es100 there awesome for the price but then again i'm from cali and it don't snow here but they are sticky in the rain also.

 

ive got the htr+ and ive been driving in the snow a lil and they arent exactly the best in it. just get whatever u feel is an all around better tire and keep it at low R'sss in the snow and u should be fine.

 

the Sumitomo HTRZ-II is the one that is more comparable to the ES100. Check out the reviews/ratings on Tire Rack

I had them and liked them alot.

 

HTR+ is a tire that is more succeptible to feathering. I would not recommend that tire unless you want a loud ride sooner than normal.
