ES100's suck. I would add Kumho MX's to your list, still not as sticky as S02's, but not bad.

i would have to disagree.

Ive had quite a few tires (not on my s2k, but on other vehicles) my favorite was toyo t1s' but they were very expensive, my second would be the es100's. they have the same tread rating as the toyo's and grip almost as good.

i just bought another set of es100's for my s2k, havent put them on yet....
but as far as im concerned they are well worth the money

Our disagreement lies within this statement. Mase makes a good point here, the ES100's may very well perform nicely for their price, However I based my statement upon getting the most out of a tire regardless of price (I paid 800 bucks for my tires and mounting).

If the ES100's price appeals to you and you are willing to lose some traction over your stock S02's (assuming thats what your running), then I would definately check them out.

I cannot even seem to find a Kumho MX that you could run. Ill keep looking.
