How do you like your Yokohama ES100's?

I put 215/17/45ZR ES100's on my 240 and I am not all that impressed with them. Granted, I have not had to opportunity to test them for very "spirited" driving. But for normal driving, around town and local, I have found they cold and slippery. I also drove these through the winter and these are by far the WORST tires I have ever had for snow (compared to kuhmo 712 and BFG VR4's). Maybe this is because my ES's are Z rated and my previous tires are V rated, but the difference is so significant I find that hard to believe. Once they started to slide you never knew when you going to stop and you were just along for the ride.

I am just curious what other opinions are? For myself, I probably won't put a second set of the ES100's on my car when it is time to replace.

I had very good results when they were on my Focus. They were almost unbelievable in the rain. I would have had no problems buying a second set.
