Hi Guys,

Just for your benefit just going to do a comparo for the Yoko Es100 vs Bstone GIII vs Mich Pilot Preceda PP2.

Running size 215/45/17, roughly -1.2 for street , and -3.0 for track

ES100
- $270, 30,000 kms
Pros'
- Ultimate dry grip compound out of the group
- Slightly firmer construction than GIII
- Grip stays consistant throughout tyre life
Cons

- Can get noisy even when new

GIII
- $250, 38,000 kms
Pros'
- Comfortable tyre in terms of handing bumps and rough roads
- Long Life
- Wet Grip is vgood and consistant, better than the es100
Cons
- Grip deterioates fast after 60% wear
- Can get very noisy during last 20% of wear, worse than es100's

PP2
- $270, so far 1000kms, no wet days yet
Pros'
- Best Construction, Sidewall does not flex that much
- Rides rough roads very well
- Will have longest life i suspect as it has a harder compound
- The most quietist tyre out of the 3 by far
Cons
- Dry compound not as sticky as ES100

Conclusion.
Get PP2 for consistant Handling and low noise
