Haha, which we all know should be the deciding factor when buying tires!
Id go ES100's. Ive had the Kumhos and they did me well, just want to try something new. Screw Azenis...I like my tires to last longer than 10 months

Azenis last 10months? wow Nick, you need to drive more.
I had the Kumhmo's and I hated them. Took too long to break in, and they didn't hold the road. Maybe I just had a bad set, but they left a bad impression on me.
es100s all the way

TireRack.com tested them against each other, along with sumitomos. Yokohamas did the best.
I like them, but think that my old Pirelli P7000 summer were a bit better.

Re: (P1mpSlap)
I just replaced my old Yokohama A520's with a set of these (ES100's)
They are less noisy, the ride is smooth, probably due to the softer sidewall?
I have only put on a few hundred miles so far, just got them this weekend.
you can't go wrong with the Yokohama AVS series

JUST switched from Ecstas to ES100s - Needless to say, I will NEVER be going back to the Kumhos. The ES100s are just a better tire all around - better dry, wet, and wear.
Geez. For the extra 10$ its hardcore worth it.

Where did you find the ES100's for $53 per tire? I've been meaning to look around the net for a good price, but that sounds pretty good to me.

Don't stagger tire sizes, then you won't be able to rotate tires, and you won't be able to get the maximum life possible if you don't rotate them regularly.

Very true... I would go with the es100's, I've heard nothing but good things about them from very knowledgeble people. I will be getting a set myself since I've successfully demolished my crappy Ventus tires that came on my wheels.
