Nevermind, I did the research (not as lazy as I thought). Not too keen on the Fuzion, as I'm hesitant to buy something that hasn't been reviewed.

What do you guys think about the Yokohama AVS ES100? Numbers below:

Dry 8.7
Wet 8
Cornering 8.4
Steering Response 8.4
Tread 6.9

Cost $82 front / $83 rear (stock size)

Lose a bit on Dry, Wet and a lot on tread life to the RE750, but definitely cheaper.
$330 Yokohama vs $464 RE750

Any experience with them?

hold on a little bit - I have heard some rumblings about the ES100s, and someone is in the process of "testing" the Fuzions (do a search) who just got rid of the ES100s, so we should have a comparison fairly soon. I am interested and waiting for that.

i had the es100s on my wrx...they are truly horrible tires. noisy, squel, and dont grip...keep in mind this is from a awd car! get the 750s. there is no reason to save 130 bucks and feel like your car is going to spin out of control on nice turns, etc...if you need a cheap option, look for used so-2s? mine lasted 15k(with about 150 track miles) in the rears...not sure how some of you guys only last 8-10k

One piece of advice, don't nickel and dime tires. Trying to save $100.00 can be pound foolish, and ask "The Hoth" about Nitto tires; he ended up in the ditch with them. If you're shy on the $$$ to get the S02's/S03
