For me it's either RE001 or S Drives, I have Yokohama ES100 (replaced by S Drives) and love em but wanna try Bridgestone equivalent or thereabouts. Plus the RE001 is about $25-$30 cheaper per tyre, so I'll be taking advantage of the aggressive marketing from Bridgestone.
I've got them installed on my swift (195/55X15)
They are surprisingly grippy, reasonably quiet, just a swooshing sound on the road. When pressed, they allow a good deal of throttle adjustability and instill great confidence in spirited driving.

These replaced the apparently highly praised S03 and (something else) tyres.
i wonder how they rate against yokohama S Drives..
We've got the s drives on our Dc2r and re001 on my EGSi.
No comparision in terms of grip, was expecting a lot more from Yokohama's latest offering. The S drive is quieter though, and very well made ( on our dc2r with oe 15" enkeis the balance weights were no more than 15g, on one wheel no weight was nec ). But it looks and feel like nothing more than a bridgestone GIII with a harder compound and without the GIII's pattern noise. We were expecting a lot more than this from Yokohama's latest high performance offering.
Hey,
I've got these tyres in 195/50R15's and have no complaints with them. I've taken them to the track too and they held up pretty well.
Having said that they are the first real performance tyres I've purchased so I can't compare to anything else.
