I Agree 100%

They have been very sticky and well performing. I just hooked up a friend of mine with the Falkens from the same tire company. She got them in 17s for her SLites for $355 for all 4 including installation and tire disposal and she's very pleased. Says it's running smoother and more sure (her worn runflats were making her mistrust her MINI)

My stickiness also increased dramatically once I added the 22mm Rspeed sway bar. I plan to run my fronts until they are bald, and replace those two instead of rotating like I did with my Yokos.

I'm a convert to this myself. The only catch is if you want to try a different brand or sizing your stuck. I liked the ES 100's and now need to buy two for my 16" summer wheels. Thinking about the 512's to replace OEM 17" on Slites for winter wear..
