kumhos are a loud tire and after working at a tire and wheel shop, i would not recommend them. I voted for the yokohamas because the Falkens seem soft and wear a little more IMHO. i had falkens in the back and they wore pretty fast considering i did a sweet alignment job before i put them on. Ive had nothing but good responses and reviews with the es100s and always recommend them as a candidate

i have driven on the ES100s and the Kumhos, ES100s are a nice progressive tire from cold-warm, responsive when sliding as well. the Falken 451s arent really a max performance tire, theyre more focused on good looks and All weather traction, try the St-115. And the kumho 711s arent even in the same category. they are for poor suckers who cant afford Zrated tires. the 712s feel funky when driven hard.

I vote for BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radials. these things stick like **** to carpet, and i have found them better than nittos.

I bought the yoko ES100's. I hated them. Sent them back and got the Bridgestone 750's. That was a huge improvement, for a little more money. I don't know what size you are getting, so I don't know if the Bridgestones are in your price range.

I bought 245/45/16's for all 4 corners. They were $123 each at the tire rack.

A huge improvement over the ES100.

i was always under the impression that the bfgoodrich gforce t/a, whatever teh street version is, is the better tire out there for dry traction. supposed to be very sticky for how long they last.

I voted for the FK-451's. I have them in 225/45/17 on mustang GT wheels and they're great! I was at the track with them this weekend and with only a cone filter, cold airbox, headlight air scoop, full RB exhaust (from manifold back) and wheels/tires as mods, I was able to chase down and pass (among other things) a BMW 330 Ci, a heavily modded BMW 2002, a Porsche 944, and a Lotus Esprit S4! All the drivers were in the same skill class as me. Enough said.
