I have ES100 Yokos on my '94 MB E320 with about 5k miles and they are pretty good. I have gotten good wear, and wet traction is improved compared to the MXV4s I originally had on the car. They do hum on concrete roads, but I think this is mainly due to the the unidirectional tread. All the unidrectional tires I have owned (P7000s, ES100s, S-02 PPs, GS-D3) at some point hum/whine on concrete roads (then as the tread wears down, all roads!).
I've currently got Goodyear F1 GS-D3 tires mounted on 9-5 Aero rims on my wife's '01 9-5 LPT wagon and they are the best tires I have had to date. I have them for only a couple of weeks, but I've driven over 2k miles on them when I went on vacation to Orlando from New Orleans during Mardi Gras.
They have great wet traction, good on-center feel, turn crisply and are quiet. I feel they're better than the Bridgestone S-02 PPs I had. The S-02s just felt heavy and slow reacting at city speeds compared to the GS-D3s.
Michelins are just plain overpriced and relatively underwhelming, although the new PS2s intrigued me.
