2 street drift sessions
3 auto-x events, one that included 20 something runs
30,000+ abused miles with lots of windy country roads
They last a long time, but damn the past 2 months they are damn near no fun to drive on period.
And yea I know some of you are gonna say "bah, still got plenty of tread left for one more drift session"

they were both on the front and rear, only got rotated like twice though. All 4 might have lasted 30k together but one had a really bad flat spot so it had to go sooner.

shit, es100s' are pretty good, but not the best.
especially not for drifting. once you do an st115 you will be like, holy crap. i see the light.
for outright grip i like the avs sport, the ad07 neova, hell alot of tires are better than the es100.
but then price comes into play.

Yea for the price I havent found really much better tire thats still made. The 245/45s I had up front got moved to the back, and I had 225/45/16 stuck up front. And after seeing the size, i will not be going any smaller ever. The steering responsive has picked up a bit though. They even helped me take first place in novice today at the auto-x. In the end. I paid $100 a piece for these plus $11 mounting and balancing. These are my 5th pair of Yokos.
