Seems like the ES100's got discontinued and their 'successor' tire isn't that great from what I've heard.

I'm not too big of a tire buff, as in I'm a noob. I'm running 205/50-16, and would like to find something along the lines of the ES100 performance and to last at least 15k miles but 20k would be better. I also need to keep the costs down, so I'm really looking anywhere from $70-$100/tire.

Suggestions, anyone?

 

At that price, I think the Kumho Ecsta SPT or Yokohama S-Drive would be pretty good replacements for the ES100.

 

I am REALLY REALLY happy with the new Hankooks (the ones that took second place in C&D's recent test). I'm running 215-45-18s, and they are awesome in every way. Even in 18s, they were less than 100 each, and had a $50 rebate too.
