Yokohama AVS es-100

[bimmer630]

Ive got two almost new 225/45R 17 ES-100s on the front of my car, and my rears are totally bald. I go to order two more, and Tire rack only has ONE tire left, Yokohama stopped making them, and doesnt even make anything in this size anymore.

My choices are :
G force BF goodrich (sport)
Nexen n3000 (sport)
falken fk-452 (sport)
falken ze 512 (all season)




Does anybody have any thoughts on these tires?
Also, would anybody know of a way to locate some leftover ES-100's? Maybe a tire shop somewhere has a few left in stock??

they're pretty awful tires. they were discontinued years ago, which means the tires are already pretty hard before you've used them, even if you manage to find a "new" set.

any of those other tires will likely be way better..

I personally think they grip well but they are terrible in the rain

[ACHTUNG]

ES-100's are terrible tires. I couldn't wait until mine were worn out so I could replace them.

Any of your substitute tires you list will be better than the Yoko's.
