I got em. Love em. Don't even try and use em in the snow, you won't be able to move.

Did you read the reviews on tirerack? I was looking at these when I was looking last time and there were a lot of complaints on there about noise. That's the only reason I didn't get them.

I have these tires, grip is awsome, driving in the raid is good too. But they don't last long. I have had to get front tires replaced after 6 mos.

Really sticky tires...I had them on my 16s for my 3rd gen...sad to have given them up...I will definitely get them again when I get rims for my new car. Oh yeah, and he's right about the snow...you'd be better off just walking.

I had a set of 205-40-17 Es100's on my old car (96 Cavalier) it was lowered and had sway bars and I absolutely hated the tires. I had it aligned when I got them and I went back after 4000 miles to have it aligned again because the tires were wearing very badly...the car was in spec and I only got another 6000 miles before they were at the wear bars. I'm sure a lot had to do with my driving style but 10000 miles on a tire is absolutely absurd. I know people with BFGoodrich Drag Radials that have gotten more mileage than I did.

I'm sure a lot of my problems were my driving style and my being lowered but 10000 is still horrible!!!

I was reading one of those car magazines yesterday and they said these were great tires. Very grippy
