YokoES100 tires Does anyone have these Yokohama ES100 tires on the ride?
Went to DT and liked the thread design and price. Are they a good tire and has anyone had problems with them? I'm thinking of buying 275 all around but what correct size of tires should I get? 275/??/17
Anyone post pics of your car with these tires. Thanks

I had the Yoko's (275/40/17) all the way around till I went with the TTII wheels. The 17x11 rears dictated I go with a different type tire due to the size I wanted to run - I chose the Goodyear F1 GS/D3's to match the tread pattern of the Yoko's as closely as possible.
As far as dry, straight line rear traction for the yoko's - they sucked. I have never had the car out in the rain so I have no idea about their wet traction on the front - but they grip fine for how I use them (not AutoXing).
Wear on the Yoko's is OK - but then I only put <5000 miles/year on my car.
I was very happy with the F1's in traction/handling department (traction as well as can be expected without going to drag radials).
I will continue to run the Yoko's on the front as I have another new set setting in the garage. Once they are gone I'll go with all F1's.
On another note, I run Yoko Avid H4's all the way around on both my daily drivers - I am very happy with their ride/handling/wear and wet traction.
