Bfg g-Force sport 195/55/15 for $63
Direzza DZ101 205/50/15 for $58
Yokahama Es100 195/55/15 for $61

what is your choice any why.

 

First, I would take the ES100 over the BFG. Better performing tires for the same money. (Check out the tests on the Tire Rack website. They tested the BFG side by side against the Kumho Ecsta 712, and the 712 won. They also tested the Kumho 712 side by side against the Yokohama ES100, and the ES100 won in 23 out of 23 categories tested.) So there's no way I would consider the BFG. The ES100 is a significantly better tire for less money. Easy choice there.

If the outer diameter of my stock tires were the same as 195/55-15, then I would take the Yokohama ES100, so I could avoid the speedometer/odometer error of the Direzza DZ101 and its 205 size (1.6 percent). In fact, that's what I've done (on the GS-R) and I've been very happy with the ES100. They offer good performance on dry pavement, great performance on wet pavement, and they last a reasonably long time (around 35K miles, which is longer than other tires I've used on that car). But do what you like. If you're really eager to try the Dunlops, go for them; the error isn't that big...

 

yeah thats my only complaint about the direzza dz101, is there size diff.

but it perform very well, and looks hella good

 

I like my Direzza's. They definately need to be broke-in...Ive only got about 1200 miles on them...and didnt push them hard until 500 miles. The sidewall is much softer than the Kumho Mx's I used to have...but they are a very sticky tire. As for a daily driving street driving...theyre wonderful. I autocrossed on them a couple of weeks ago and they worked superbly. Can't wait to put them back on in the spring, (they're off for the winter).

 

I've had both ES100's & Direzza's on my car & my wifes...

Direzza's > ES100's IMO..

tread life is better
wet traction is better/less prone to hydroplane.
dry tractions is very similar.

i think all around its a better tire.

I got them and I'd have to say that they do look good. You might want to check if they're still offering the $50 rebate on a set of 4 (I bought mine less than a month ago and got the rebate). As for performance, I don't have any complaints but I also don't race my car
