Tires (was Rims)

[abatzis2 at hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

the es100's are great tires, and i think i paid 50-somthing apiece for them 
last year. they're real good in the rain, and have a pretty good tread 
rating (keep in mind that a lot of the cost for tires is install/balancing). 
  i've got about 15k on mine now with maybe 1/3 tread left. not bad at all.  
they handle a lot like the old avs intermediates (maybe not *quite* as 
well), and are WAY better in the rain. a definite bargain.
