Anyone here have experience with HANKOOK tires?
Anyone hear anything about the HANKOOK VENTUS HRII H405? They seem to have pretty good over all performance (through reviews) but have not heard to much of them in this forum. Thanks for all your help.

alright, i put them on yesterday on an 05 STi with Rota torques 17x8's and STi pink springs. The tires are 245/45/17 and seem a little bigger the normal 245/45 but it's ok. i was worried about them rubbing but i beat the hell out of them yesterday and today 
and nada.. no rubbing!!! Ok for the tire itself, cold (as with most tires) they tend to be a little bit slippery but once they heat up (which is pretty quick) it seems very nice. there tends to be a little hint of understeer right now (hotchiks comp sway set F/R) and the sways might need to be adjusted as well as the tire pressure. im running 34F and 30R after today and i'll let you know if that helped any but over all there seems to be lots of grip both on and off the go pedal. I did hear them squeal a little in a couple of tight turns but for the most part it seems to make you wana push the car even more.. i would say go for it. im not sure how they will fare in autoX but i think it's safe to say they rock for the price.!!!!
