Re: Street tires???

I'm in the same boat.... I currently have the Yokahama's ES100 which is a pretty good tire. Before then I had the BFGoodrich GForce. I think I liked the ES100's over the GForce, and it has a much sexier pattern too...

Re: Street tires???

The Yokohama's went at $100 or a bit under, I can't remember... They're pretty good tires...
