I've had 16" ES 100s for about 6 weeks. With all the rain we've had here in
SOCal, I've found they are better in the wet than the factory Bridgestones
and at least as good a wet tire as the Dunlops I had on my previous Miata.
Also, they run a little quieter. I have not had a chance to push them to
their limits on dry pavement, so I can't help you there, but all in all, I
am pleased.
