Yoko ES100 vs. Kumho Ecsta Supra?
I'm debating between these 2 tires. Can Luke or anyone with any experience with either of these please give me any feedback?
I live in Dallas where snow doesn't exist, it's hot in summer and average rain. All tires will be same size (235/45/17) and will be rotated every 3-4K miles to get max life out of them.
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I was meaning to say Ecsta MX, NOT the Supra. Do you happen to have info comapring the MX to the Yokohama ES 100? Sorry about that.

depends on the weather
that's like comparing an apple to an orange ...
MX = Max Performance
ES100 = ultra high performance
the MX would offer alot more performance dry and wet harsher ride and more tire noise
the ES100 would offer longer lifer and better ride quality but, not as much grip

I read some user revies at tirerack site and a lot of people complained about how noisy the ES100's are after about 10K miles. Is there another comparable tire that might not be as noisy as time goes on. Is it the tread design on the ES 100 that causes that?
Does tirerack happen to do any long-term testing to see how the same tires are after they've been used awhile?
Thanks.
