Should I buy these tires or not?
I had some Yokohama ES100's 235-40-18's on my 18.5 Aspec wheels and was not too impressed with them. Mostly I was dissapointed in the wet road performace area.
Well due to an alignment problem, two of my tires were pretty much shot so I was planning on getting new tires this spring. I was most likely going to get Falken 152's but an opportunity came up to get another set of the Yoko ES100's for $90-$100 per tire.
Should I get them just because the price is so good or say screw it and get the Falkens? I'm really thinking about the Yoko's again just because I could save a couple hundred. What do you guys think?

I had ES-100's on both my BMW 330 & TL 6MT.
The TL has the 255/40/17's that have lasted & performed very well.
The ones on the BMW lasted about 30K miles with a good wear pattern. Since the BMW has different sizes front to rear they were never rotated.
When I replaced the tires I got the Yokohama S-Drive's since the ES-100 was being phased out. The price you are seeing might be a result of them being discontinued & no longer listed on Yokohama site.

compare the General Exclaim UHP on tirerack.com
AA wet braking, rated #1 summer performance in tireracks test-- but has the M&S rating for all weather conditions
Not great in heavy snow but very good in all other conditions
Awesome low price- about what you are looking at for the yokes
Check out tirerack and see price then ask local store to meet or beat the price
