Yokohama ES100

these tires are CRAP!

i've had them on the car for a week and they're harder than my old balding cracking tires.

they don't hook at all, ever, on any surface.

they were relativly cheap at cost, but still not something i'm going to get again. my buddy's cheap kumho's hook much much much better than these things.


only plus to these tires is maybe they'll last forever since they're hard as a rock.

i have them, but havent got to use them to the full extent, but other people i talk to say the opposite, that they hook really good when hot, and dont last too long

Re: Yokohama ES100

I've read a lot about these tires because I'm considering them for my Corvette. 99% of the people seem to love their grip. The biggest complaint is noise. I did find a lot of comments about the tire not having much grip for the first couple hundred miles, but becoming substantially better after that. Perhaps yours will improve shortly.
