Okay, the es100s aren't doing it for me on the rears (only have two of them at the moment). The tires break loose in a straight line at the top of 2nd gear when the 2nd turbo comes online, depending on the road surface.

I think imma go with the Hankook Ventus Rs2 Z212 in 245/45/16 after reading some more reviews. Enjoy Driving Hankook Tire

Anybody want some barely used Yokohama es100s in 245/45/16... or know of a place that buys used tires? I will hit up Advanced Performace Tire and see what they say.

You prob wont get much from them seeing as they sell used tires for 35-75 range. They are a hankook dealer so I would get a price from them for your new tires They have always been good with price matching/beating for me.

Yeah, I already got a quote from them a while ago. They put tires on my CL about 5-6 months ago.

The es100s still got the nubs and everything on them, if I could get 1 Ventus Rs2 Z212 for both of my es100s, I'd be happy!

I had those es100 on two cars, and they are just wasted money, they got no traction at all and just wear very fast! Get some nittos 555 for road racing they are cheap and got lot's of grip!!
