Finally, Done
So after a few weeks, the wheels are done, the tires mounted, and the centercaps painted and installed.
The tires are new to me. I've never owned them before, but they hav e received good ratings and I have a friend who liked them, and since I really only drive on street tires for casual drives to coffee and fun runs on the weekends, I saw no sense in spending $1500+ for PS2s; all 4 Hankooks were $740, delivered and another $60 rebate to boot.
No full body shots yet; its been rainy and crappy here and I just finished the centrecap painting yesterday. I'll snap some this weekend.

Ride has improved though and as I said earlier once they take a set they do stick really well. The wet noodle goes away some at nearly 40lbs of air. For a street tire I'm probably overly critical as at that price point it's really hard to complain about them.

I love the look with the crests. When I had the all black GT3 caps installed, it struck me as just a bit too much black.
Holy cow man. S03s? How old were those tires?! I loved S03s BTW.
I'll report back in a few months. I can see how they might be squishy. My initial reaction just to inspecting them visually is that the tread looks really deep, so there is a lit of rubber there to maybe lend itself to the wet noodle feeling. After the monoball rear shock mounts, I might need a little more squish for the street
We'll see.
FWIW I've had them on my M3 for about a year now. They stick just fine for a street tire, but they must have a really soft sidewall as the car feels like a wet noodle until it takes a set. Just doesn't respond to direction changes very well at all. I came from a tire with an extremely stiff side wall (Bridgestone S03 pole positions) and I just can't get used to the soft feel.

I’ve only put a couple hundred dry street miles on them, but so far they are fine; sidewall feels stiff. Sorry I don’t have a lot of feedback yet. Its a weekend car, and I have track wheels/tires.
