i need new tires soon. would anyone know the cheapest place to buy either es100? they are all season right?

 

Check the usual places, TireRack, Tires.com etc.

They are great tires but calling them "all-season" might be pushing it a bit, if you are referring to snow.

 

Snow In a ITR should be delt with snow tires if you care about your life or caR.

I have been thru 4 sets of tires and none would I say are snow worthy..RE010, A022, Azenis & MX

 

i live in LA. i dont think there ever will be snow down here

 

then why do you want to get all season, Just get Max dry performance?

 

its mainly because of the rain.

 

Try out the Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3's. I have them on our RSXtypeS Great wet and dry performance. You can really haulass in the wet and still maintain a lot of control. I am running 225/45/17's on Kosei Racing K-1 17"X7.5" rims. Tires stick like glue to the road amazing for a 280 treadwear also. Pictures when I go through my picture files.

 

People will shy away from Falken sometimes because of how cheap they are.

However, many of us have lived with the Azenis and do perfectly well w/them even in heavy rain. It's a blocky tread pattern that does not handle standing water well, and as the tread wears down, it handles running water less and less well.

A cheap tyre that has impressed me is the Falken Ziex 512. Winter's fine, heavy rain's fine, and they will surprise you in the dry, coming close to the dry handling adhesion of the vaunted Azenis. I use 512's on my daily driver EP3.

This is all if you can live with the ignominy of having a tyre that says "Falken" on your car. LOL...

 

well, the reason i was looking into es100 was because i heard that it takes standing water better than the azenis. To me quality is more important than the name brand. so anything that is worth the money (cheaper the better) will be perfect for me. im a student so money is on the edgy side. hey George, im interested in the falken ziex 512. how much and how long do they last? (street driven and ocational mountain drives)

 

I'm in a similar situation. George can you comment on the durability of the 512's and road noise?
