what do you want long jevity or stickyness?

if you want stickyness look for the tire with the lowest tread wear, but those tires wont last that long.

and the opposite for longjevity

Out of a ll those I would also choose the ES100's, I have seen a few on some other cars and no one has had any complaints, Boilermaker1 has those too I believe.

... and I have trashed my set of them. I did more racing then they apparently could handle. But for rolling on the street they're real quiet and are very stable in the rain.

Mine look like this... with only 5K on them.
