Default hankook tyres

Has anyone had experience with Hankook tyres, specifically the Ventus S1evo K107, looking at getting some rims and was wondering if anyone has any feedback or opinions about these.
cheers

Great Performance and value for money in my opinion, not as good as an RE070 or Falken RT615. On par with Bridgestone G3.

i have the Hankook Ventus Sport K104,
really good tyres in my opinion. Some of the Hankook tyres can be quite noisy but.

I have the K104's.

There great in the dry but not really happy with them in the wet.

I found the RE50A's on the WRX better.

With low kings guards has to be rolled, im pretty sure. 18x7.5 - prolly the best way to go for GC8 without and modification.

Mate has 18 x 7.5 rims on his Gc8, on king springs and he still needed to roll the guards.
