Default Hankook slicks

I know that Yokohama is building a good alternative to Michelin slicks, but meanwhile, I have just discovered that Hankook is making some slicks for our cup cars:

The price is somewhat attractive ($1174 a set)

I wonder if any of you have tried these tires. If so, how do you like them?

Thanks

Hankook makes two compounds for that slick. As pracice tires they are good, but the harder compound front is too slick. Mucho understeer. A few friends ran the Hankooks quite successfully at Road America with the medium rear'/soft front. I am doing some side by side testing with Hankook and Yoko at the end of December. I'll keep everfyone posted if there is interest.
