I'm thinking of using these next year. I have some crappy (expensive) Goodyear tires on the car now. The ES100's will be a step up from what I currently have, but they aren't the best tire around.

Talking with several people, I gather that they are decent in the wet, not as grippy on dry as the more expensive tires but they have good grip for the money. I've also heard that they are a little lower profile than other tires so putting 245/45/16 on the stock rims is less likely to have rubbing issues than some other tires (depending on your suspension setup).

thanks Mahjik, very informative. I think I might take a look at the Bridgestone Re750's. Any body have opinions on these?

Buy the S-02 Bridestone's

I've had the best luck with Pirelli P-Zero A's, S02's and Falken FK 451's for the street/track....For all out track Hoosiers or Cup's..

Pirelli's work the best for me, but I do have 275's, so consider your contact patch before selecting tyre sizes
