Default anyone have hankook tires?

i need a new set of 275 r17's for my camaro and was looking at these:

the reviews seem pretty good, just wanted to see what you guys thought.

if i had the extra cash id go with the nitto 555's but theyre going to cost me about an extra 100 bucks.

the website says the treadwear is 320aa - i though that was a pretty long time geuss not? maybe you had another model?


basically, i just want a good street tire with little road noise, decently comfortable ride, and moderate treadwear. my camaro is a DD and i rarely ever go to the track, and the tires wont be abused accept the occasional WOT pull or a street race or two. I had nitto 555's and i liked them alot, traction, comfortability, and treadwear were all great, i just cant afford the extra 100$$ right now so im looking for something comparable.

right now i have sumitomo HTR + and theyre not bad but they wore down quickly and the wet and dry traction were not that impressive.

thanks
