Soon I will be up for new tyres on my 10AE so I was just wondering if anyone out there can suggest some suitable replacements.???? I have done 46K on the originals. They are now getting a bit dodgie in the wet.

Tried (flogged) these on an NB8B (hello Pierre!
) and they seemed very good!

Have bought ES100's in both 15's and 16's. About $155 for 15's, $230 for 16's. Great tyres.
Cheers,
Alf

The ES100's have a lot of grip, but IMHO they make the steering feel dead and lifeless.
Just doesn't feel like a sportscar should.
If you don't mind spending around $200 a corner, I can highly recommend the Michellin Pilot Precedas.
They grip well, have a good ride and are quiet, but they make the steering feel alive and the car really feels like a sportscar should.
They have much superior response to the ES100's, and I know, I've tried both of them on my car.

Have the ES100 in 195/50/15, pretty happy with them, in fact its the second set. Michelin Pilot Preceda is very good in 205/45/16 but I am dubious on how they will be in 195/50/15 as they don't have the re-inforced sidewalls in that size.
