help me choose a tire :)

[chmercer]

every place i have called is out of st115s so i am looking at my other options. the two tires that have caught my eye that is in the same pricerange are the dunlop SP Sport FM901 and the advan avs es100. there is also the falken fk451 but i dont know if i like this one, although i dont really have a reason to.

has anyone tried any of these tires, and how do they compare to eachother, etc etc any help would be great.

edit - nix the dunlop, have been reading and they apparently have very squishy sidewall. can anyone reccomend any other tires to check out in the 100-120 range?

es100 is better than the fm190, i love the es100 great for the price

hmm really, that is what im leaning towards in lieu of the falkens.

ES100's ... soft sidewall though.

ES100's have a soft sidewall? Interesting considering they use some kind of insert.

I just bought some Kuhmo Ecsta MX's. They feel great so far. But I've only been able to start pushing them this week. I had to replace valve stem seals and my turbo. But in the last couple of days, in the 60 or so miles I've flogged them, they are very nice. Braking performance is exceptional.

Try an S03 or Falken Azenis sidewall compared to ES100's.

Well, I ran A520's before and those had some brutally stiff sidewalls. I figure the ES100 are probably not as stiff but expected they would still be somewhat stiff. It was only pure speculation though. So it was rather surprising to hear that...
