Im gettin new 205/50/16 tires. Im considering these three...

1) Yokohama AVS ES100
2) Kumho ECSTA Supra 712
3) Sumitomo HTR ZII

Im just lookin for some feedback that anyone that has used these tires may have... treadlife, responsiveness, wet/dry handling, etc..

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

kumho's even though i get made fun of they're actually good tires, wet/dry and treadwear, i've had mine for about 20000 miles now and still have decent tread left

I have heard very good feedback for the ES100's, everyone likes them alot and they have good grip. Boilermaker1 has them on his Civic in the 215/45-17 size so you could ask him what he thinks.

Yes... I do have them, and I have beaten them throughly enough to say this:
Dry Grip: Awesome
Wet grip: Rain? What Rain?
Noise: I don't hear anything.
Treadwear: Well, you can't ask me that... I race on them, so I have no clue how well they wear if you just drive. They were wearing very well before I started racing... but that was only about 6 weeks.
I'd buy them again if I had to.

1. Yokos

2. Kumhos

Never had HTR Z II's so I don't know where they fit in... I do know the ES100's are excellent and clearly #1 out of the choices you give.

Cool, thats what I was leaning towards anyways. Thanks for all the input.

get es100's. i just put them on my ride yesterday and they stick like glue. they pretty much hug the road as much as the parada spec-2, but it drives way better in wet conditions
