Well I was able to get out after work today and put a nice 20+ mile run on them. Now you have to realize that I was replacing my old very worn GY F1's that were about 5 yrs old. I was really impressed with them when I first put them on, but they were getting worse each summer.
After the short drive this afternoon in 60° weather I can safely say that these are my new best friends. Granted I don't have a lot of tire comparison experience, but these are VERY confidence inspiring. In places where I could get the GY's to squeal pretty good, these just held right on and I am sure there was plenty more there. But I will have to wait to find their limit at a better location. I do know that my brakes were a bit hotter after the run than they would have been on the GY's.
Just for comparisons purpose......my GY's were 215/40/17's and the Hankooks are 215/45/17. And I do like the little bit of extra height as it fills the arches a bit better.
I will update after a few more miles.

Well, since those were going to be my new DD tires for the GP, keep thrashing them and let me know how they are! Really! It'll be a bit yet (I'm hoping by buying new track wheels and tires I can limp my Yokohamas a few more months :rolleyes5

They keep threatening with actual sunshine, but no luck yet!

I just purchased new O.Z. 17" White WRC wheels and 205/45ZR17 Hankook V12s and I love the package! The tires are amazing and you can definitely feel the grip and improved handling!
