No, it's not that.

I've had the AVS ES100's, and they suck.
I speak from experience.

yeah, i'm sorry, i have to disagree. your wrong on all accounts. i've had mine for maybe a year now and they haven't shown any tread wear at all. maybe if you drive like an idiot (or like a happy man in his evo ), but i've driven on numerous cross country trips and the tires are fresh man

as for rain grip, these are probably the best rain tires i've driven on. again, if you drive it like you stole it, maybe its not enough

finally, rim protection, again, mine are doing fine, it really comes down to what size tire you get, but mine protect the rim plenty

best rim protection is to not run into things.
