My Yoko ES-100's have gotten noisy as hell. Anyone else?

Default Re: (Eddie, you too)

The wheels are an awesome look on car, est. With Santorin Blue (my favorite).. the finish color tends to look grea on darker colorerd cars.

As for tires, they are great, and the best thing under $130 a tire (followed by ES100s as my next pick up).

Let me know when ready or call me with any questions!

Default So you like the 712s better than ES100?

That seems to run counter to what I'm hearing elsewhere, or do you mean that you like 712s at that price point, and ES100s if I'm willing to spend more?

More Q's for you: Will the RXIIs fit over Stoptechs? What about Stoptech big brakes? Finally, with 712s and ES100s (final contenders), will I have rubbing issues on stock suspension with 235s? What about 245s?

Thanks!

Mine are great so far, although I only have 1,500 miles on them.

no.. ES100s better dry handler.. bit better tire, but for less $ - Kumhos.

BBK upgrades should be fine!

Default get the 235 if you are going with kumho...

i have 18*8.5 aez radons with 225/40/18 kumho estca 712 and have the stretched look. also after about 10,000 miles my tires have become extremely loud. i'm not sure if it is from being lowered and having the insides wearing out faster, or if it is because of the tire being stretched.

not sure if you can see the stretched look in this picture or not.
