Default Yoko es100

Iv had these tires for roughly 7 months now and probably ~6000 miles on them and my fronts are in great shape, but my rears a completely gone. Iv never burned out in them so i'm very surprised on how they wore so fast. i'm looking for new tires what are good ones with a decent price. Also would it affect my handling/ride if I had different tires in the front and back?

It will affect your handling to have mismatched tires. How much would depend on how hard you drive the car. If you wore them out in 6K you need to get an alignment done and run the least amount of toe in that Honda specs for the car.
For the tires take a look at the Bridgestone RE750. Long wear, better handling in wet and dry with better ride quality as well.
If I can help let me know.

The ES100's unfortunately wear quick like stock tires, but with less grip. Sounds like you are driving somewhat aggressively (nothing wrong with that), so I would stick with the ES100's until all four wear out. Make sure they are 245's if you didn't already know that.

I think I've been babying my car too much. I had my es100's put on at about 28k miles and I now have 43k and they still look fine.
