Default Hankook tires?

Has anyone used Hankook tires on thier Corvette?
I read some great reviews about them.
Reviews said that they handle great, have good grip and are quieter than most of the other tires reviewed. And they are cheaper than Nitto's.

I have V12 EVOs.
They're pretty nice. Low noise, good traction wet or dry.

Installed the Ventus V12 Evo K110's about 10 days ago after 12 years of runflats. I imagine any tire would feel good after the runflats! They are quiet and the ride is smooth. Corners a lot easier too. So far, I am very pleased with the Hankook's.

I paid $437.66 for stock sizes (after rebate, before mount & balance). Then switched to near Z06 sizes (255/40-17 and 285/35-18) for $68 more or $555.84.

New tires AND new wheels for less than I paid for my last set of Michelin runflats!
