FWIW I wouldn't consider a sub $100 tire a "max" performance tire, most of
the real sticky ones are above that.  That being said, they (ES100) appear
to be a decent tire for the buck, and I have considered a set for the 92 for
this summer.  Last I saw they were around $97 shipped from discount tires.

"Max" performance tires IMHO would be something like BFG g-force KDW, or
SO-3's, F1's, etc.

I did a quaife for a guy that had a set of ES100's on his 93, my driveway
barely has a slop on it and it was all he could do to get out with a quaife
in the snow.  Took him awhile :)  Pretty much any summer "Z" tire is
terrible in the snow though.

I still like the Dunlop SP8k's for the summer, good grip and predictable,
$106 shipped, but with the 225/55's I can't get much mileage.  The 225/50's
seem to wear much better, I believe one is made in japan and the other in
europe or something.
