Yoko's ES100's
Not too happy with these new tires, very poor steering response, feels very squishy round the corners 
I thought this was a performance tire ????
frig, too bad you can't try b4 you buy.

how many miles do you have? I noticed a huge improvement as the broke in over about 200 miles. please tell me they are broken in before you judge a tire.

my front feels like it goes wherever it wants to with the AVS's....it used to feel VERY planted with the worn out crap PD's. and auto-x was just a continuos squeel....no REAL grip.

I really like my ES100's on both my 83 Autocross car and my 88 Turbo S.
What tire pressures are you running? If you running a low pressure they can feel squishy just like any tire.

You are not stuck with them, depending on who you buy from. All the BS and FS tires have a 30 day test drive, you dont like them, bring them back.
You might also go back to your tire shop and bitch. By offering to spend more and buy a better tire they might be willing to trade them out for you.
