Just got these on my new wheels and so far (about 500 miles) I love them.
I'd like to compare them (traction under heavy driving) to my old Sumitomo HTR Z III but I had those on the factory (8/8.5") wheels. Compared to my new setup which is 9.5/11" running 245/35 and 275/35. I'd say overall they're better than the HTR Z III's (so far) from a dry performance standpoint and are definitely very predictable.
I've heard these get noisey at low tread but so did my HTR Z III's - and even worse with the factory Bridgestones. I can't comment on treadlife or wet grip yet but overall I'm satisfied and will probably buy these again.
The only thing I would have changed is possibly going with a 285 in the rear. My 275's are ever so slightly stretched. They look great but I might change next time. Also, fenders rolled with my my rears running 19x11 275/35 +20, lowered approximately 1.5" (in the rear) and I was able to run -2.0 camber and still clear the fenders.
Also, to anyone buying these tires or who have purchased recently send in for the $80 mail in rebate through Hankook!! It's been nearly 8 weeks but they just emailed me today and told me my American Express giftcard has been mailed!! (See link below)

One word of "caution" I would give those interested in these tires, is that in my opinion the sidewalls are very soft. It's not really an issue for most people, but if you decide to stretch them or your roads are poor, you may get bubbles in the sidewalls. Otherwise they're great.

Anyone that has given these POS tires a good review is an a$$hole!! I know they're not for tracking but come on, they are terrible, even FK452s feel sooooo much better. I bought these based on the many reviews I've seen online and some people running them on here. There were a few reviews that alarmed me like the fellow with the Porsche on Tirerack saying they were crap, should have listened to him.
I just want to tell anyone on here that may be considering these to stay the f$@k away from them. The soft sidewalls make my nutz quiver everytime I take a corner especially on on-ramps. The car sways and feels like its going to oversteer any second, and this isn't even at the limit, well perhaps with these bastards it is. The sloppy feel is so unbearable that I'm ready to scrap these and take a loss.
( If you see me selling these anywhere on here completely disregard this post )
