I had a set on my Magnum RT and loved them. The one thing you should be aware of is they run narrow and have a round shoulder. In the dry they hook well, the sidewalls are a little soft, but extra pressure helps that. Excellent in the wet too. They are also very quiet.
I have an SRT8 now and I am seriously thinking about them.

I just had a full set put on my acura tl and fiancees acura tsx. Overall we are very happy with the ride quality, handling, etc. They have very good wet and dry grip straight line and cornering. I even got each set with an $80 rebate american express card which we got about a month and a half after the purchase.
The only negative I have is we just replaced one on the LR of the TSX due to a "herniation." Acura was changing the oil and noticed a long bubble forming on the actual inner tread blocks and not the sidewall. The tire only had 5000 miles and we are getting a free replacement. Very odd defect, it wouldn't stop me from buying another set.

The Hankooks are a very well balanced tire with very good dry and wet performance. They are one of the best budget tires we offer. We have many customer who are very happy with these.

I had them
I had them on my last set of wheels and they were great.
I bought new wheels with Firestone Wide Ovals and I prefered the Hankooks. The wide Ovals are a stiffer drive and louder but have better traction, weird I know. I would of thought less traction but it has more on dry pavement.
I would buy the Hancooks in fact that will be my next set garanteed !
