Just wanted to say they are great tires. I am on skunk2 sleeve coils jacked up to max ride height, no camber kit in front, rear camber is close to zero. At zero the rear tires rubbed when turning so I added 1 turn of negative camber. Since they are bigger rubber the car acts a tad more sluggish in a straight line, making 1st gear starts a bit balkier. If u like to drag they are NOT for you, but in the corners they are awesome! I am too chicken to go fast enough to make them squeal in the mountains. After the fronts wore past 50% I could get a very faint scuff sound on hard cornering. Grip when new is incredible, grip when worn is…consistent.
there OK tires
price is alittle high tho
spt kill the es100 and are price a better price
i did love my es100 with stiff sidewalls tho(first tire >going from radials)
i thought es100 was god
until i used azenis and goodyear f1 g3’s
wooah
I’ve had both versions of Azenis and I prefer the ES100s. Hard to compare the two directly since they were two very different sizes (205/50-15 and 225/40-18), but if you account for the 18s being on a much heavier car with a longer wheelbase, I’d say overall cornering response is a fair indication of preference in this case. I’d pay twice as much for these tires if I had to for a street application. In fact, part of the reason I don’t have 19s on my car is because the ES100 doesn’t come in a 235/35-19 size.
when i first bought my integra, i thought the best first upgrade would be tires. i bought the ES100’s in the stock size 195/60R14. It was the best thing i ever did for the car, and i wish today i could bring it back to those days.
i think ES100s are one of the best daily tires, (i autocross alot), for driving around town and getting the urge to hug a corner every now and then. right now im on 195/50/15s ES100s. but if i were to compare with my other tires thier would be no comparision (Advan A032Rs, and toyo Ra1s)
If you like the A032s, wait until you try the A048s!
yeah my buddy is using the a048s on his subby, im gonig to wait till i wear the a032s out until i upgrade.
