First time I've tried Hankook but so far I'm impressed.
Unfortunately I'll probably be putting them on this weekend :(.

Yes, I got the Hankook Ventus V-12 EVO on the rear. They slicker than snail jizz for the first 20 miles, I think its the shipping protectant that is on them to make them shine and all. On the track at the Flash Light Drags they appeared to fail misserably at hooking up.... but at home here where I have been using the Ecsta Supra tires and can draw a good comparison... I can say that the Hankook Ventus V-12 EVO is for sure better at hooking up the power of the car. Don't get me wrong, they are not drag radials and yes I can still destroy 1st gear and depending on road surface.... at times I can destroy 2nd gear.... but I have yet to see the Hankooks let loose in 3rd at all, and on the rougher finished roads they will bite down and hook in mid way through 2nd gear if you play with the throttle a bit.

I am very happy, for $174.... you can not ask for more! Recomended!
