Tyre again

[TiBuN]

Hi guys, I need to change my tyre already. Looking for these following criteria tyre :
1) MUST be directional
2) 14" rims
3) Budget RM150 - RM180 per piece
4) sporty driving style.
5) Made in Thailand is ok

Can give comments ?
My eyes are currently on Bridgestone Potenza G3 which goes around RM140.
But I would like to go for something more quieter.

i don't think bridgestone made 14" for G3 coz i've asked around and there really isn't anyone thats stocking on those. but i know of people stocking 14" ES100.

You're right, but I've confirmed a shop in Wangsa Maju that could get the 14" if really neccessary. ES100 quiet or not ?

ES100 for 14" need how much?

TiBuN,
I've used Yokohama A520 and my friend has previously used Yokohama ES100. Him and me felt that the tyre wears off easily if put through rigorous driving style. That's just the personal feeling of my friend and me. We were both using 15".
I've just changed to 195/20R15 BridgeStone Potenza G3, for about RM180 per piece. Have yet to really feel anything yet but did a few sharp turnings, it feels nicer than the Yokohama A520 anytime. :)

Been using ES100 15" for quite sometime. Good tyre I would say but side wall too soft.

Soft sidewall got what effect? The cornering feel is sluggish izzit?
From all you guy's review, I am more concern about the tyre life span.
I think I'll sacrafice a bit of noise level and go for the G3. Thank you guys, if you have any other experience from these tyre, please feel free to post by this week.
