Sorry to bring up another tire ? but just curious about a new tire just came out. I've had 2 sets of the stockers the oem's and a second set and now have just gone through a set of the S-03's 205-50-15. Without a doubt the best tires I've ever driven on so far wet dry doesn't matter. Now due for another set and was just thinking if there are any other options. Read what willard said about the yokohama es100's and they seem pretty good especially if your not going to track them but just perfomance street. But now I've also read of the new Kumho ecsta MX thats alos avaliable in a 205-50-15 and its tirerack ratings look good. Does anyone on here have any results first hand of the MX's. Current thoughts are to go with the ES100's for the savings and they are comprable to the stockers is most regards but much better wet weather and treadlife. Sorry for the long topic but just curious to feedback on the MX and any users with the ES100 as well. S-03 are so far the best may go with them again just funds are tight just now.

the es100 tires are pretty good i like them. i got them like 5k miles ago. grip pretty well.

 

I like my ES100s. and for 51 bucks a tire not too bad of a price either. I purchased 195/50/15's from tire rack. I had to promise that these will never see the street other wise they wouldn't sell them to me in this size. For the money its a good tire.

 

I'm not sure i understand what you mean by promise they'd never see the street.

 

because it isn't a stock size... 195/55/15
they were reluctant to sell them to me. that is all.

 

Yeah, they are weird about that kinda stuff.
