Anyone have these in 215/45/17? They look pretty nice, but tirerack doesn't have any ratings on them.
Pros?
Cons?
Better tire for the money ($94)?

Toadster - really? Where do you have to buy them from to get that? That's kinda funny.
They've got good stats (treadwear, traction, temp, etc)...Just thinkin'. Any other input?

No experience with the size you mention, but am running 225/50-16's and they compare very favorably with the BFG KDW's that came stock on the SVT...I imagine the ride would be a little stiffer given the slightly shorter sidewall on the 45's.

you're kidding me, ES100's handling the same as KDW's???? IF that is sincerely the case, then I think I'll switch, because I can no longer talk at a normal conversation level in my car because of the KDW's. . .are the ES100's significantly quieter?? They don't have a g-force sidewall insert, so I would've thought the sidewalls would've flexed more when cornering. . .
