New wheels here... now for tires.

I just recieved these in the mail:

Not the prettiest or lightest, but cheap and will serve my purpose better than the stock wheels (three of which are now bent).

My question;
I am looking at these:

And I want yer honest opinion on the tread life and wear patterns. I drive 60 miles a day through beautiful twisties, so I need both traction and tread life. Thanks.

The ES100's don't wear as fast, and have similar traction. (from what I can tell between a 3g and a 2g n/t)

Yep, I was looking at the ES100's as well. They seem like a stickier tire, but will they last as long? Is the gain in traction worth the projected loss in tread life?
