Dave,
Andrew is looking into some Hankook Z214's for me as my Nittos have close to 60 heat cycles on them,although they still have lots of thread on them they don't come in the front sizing that i'll be using next year.
From what i hear the Hankooks are a compromise in between Hoosier and Nitto,not sure on ease of Canadian availability though ...
I'm sure somebody can post some feedback on the Hankooks ???
Cheers
Phil

I have a brand new set of 17 inch BF R1 Ss (235/40 and 275/40) that I will probably sell since I am going to switch to 18's for the track. If you are any of the Rennspoon fellas could use them let me know.

I had -3 camber up front (set up for R6's and Kooks) and corded inside fronts with NT-01 (after 14 cycles!). Before I started driving aggressively, they lasted over 40 cycles. Oh well...price we pay for better lap times. They were about 2 seconds off the R6's in my experience (e.g. WGI and VIR). If you are not a super fast driver, they are very nice DE tires. I think I will stick with my Kooks and just plan ahead on orders when they are available.
