Default Hancook vs Michelin

Hey everyone, new C7 ( stingray ) owner and new to the forum and just had a question about tires. Sorry if I missed this already answered but I searched the forum and didn’t see it. I’m about to buy RSR R902 wheels and was wondering if it would be a poor choice to buy a set of Hancook’s over the Pilot Sport 4S to save a little coin. I imagine the 4S is a better tire but for the price gap I wanted to get a crowd opinion. Thanks again from a new and first time Vette owner.

I have a set of Hancooks for my street tires and they ride fine and are quiet. They are no track tire compared to the PS2s.

HanKOOK tires ride good and aren't loud. I've found traction with them to be good above 60 degrees but not terrible in the lower temps if you aren't beating on it.
