I tried the es100's, and really hated them. In the past, I had always liked the tires I got from Yokohama. The es100 was a huge disappointment. After a short time, I pulled them off the car, and returned them to the Tire Rack. I was happy to pay the extra shipping to get them off my car.

I put the 711's on my 944 Turbo before I sold it and they were absolutely crappy. Tread design is good but there is no sidewall strength and the tire wanders all over the place. The 712 is a much better tire although the tread design Sucks. I am currently running the SPT on my SVT and I am very happy with that tire. Much better than the 712 but not as good as the Bridgestones I have run in the past.

Fair enough, but the kumho 711s/712s make the es100s look like Potenza S03 Pole Positions

Rich, I can't comment on the Kumho's. Based on what I see here, I must assume that they are really bad.
