I finally got totally sick of the Sumitomo HTR 200's for being nothing but greasy and generally a loose ride.
May put them on another set of rims and keep them around for a while. Anyone like the ES100's from Yokohama? I did not want to go with 50 series. Thanks! John |

You're welcome. This site teaches me all the time... cool place this is! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) And I just found that Vulcan actually has the 245/45-16 listed as in-stock on their website. Although I didn't call them, it looks like I bought mine too early. nuts! Anyway, the ES100 is (from a tread perspective AND in my opinion) an intermediate, not a full rain tire. Those of us who have pushed the envelope have all spun our cars. I would point to again to the pressures. If you go by the sidewall you're running them WAY too high for our cars. That said I've spun 'em even when everything but me was perfect!!!!! Did I say that out loud? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
