I am currently running the continental contact sport 2 tires on my bmw 330i. I consider myself to drive aggressively occassionally, mostly mountain driving. I do notice, and do not be affended by this, however, the tire grip and side wall flex SUCK! The tire makes loads of screeching noises, grip sucks, even when I try to do a donut, the tires just don't grip, I am sorry. Anyways, I know people are a fan of pilot sports, as I am also. However, I want to brake away from those at the present moment and try the yokohama es 100 tires. I would like to know how good these tires on from people whom have them. I am more focused on tire grip, side wall flex and semi tread wear. I don't really hear yokohama tires on bmw's that much that is why I ask.

Why would you want grip when you're trying todo donuts?
For what its worth, I had ES100s for a long time, they're terrible. They're noisey, harsh and don't last very long. There are _many_ tire threads as well as reviews and opinions of the ES100sif you do a search.

oh really? cool, got to do that search, forgot about that. Talking about the donuts, what I meant was, i want the back to loose traction, but the front to stay in place, mainly for drifting also.
