Not free shipping for me to Ottawa. SO total was 420.28 us taxes included.

Thanx for the good find.

I'd rather lick a donkey's scrotum then put a set of Hankooks on my S!

I haven't had them on the track yet, but I can certainly say the grip MUCH better than S02's on the road.

If they last a single season with full crazy grip then it's a steal.

Hey Dawg, yes they came in yesterday. I will have them mounted tomorrow and drive on them for a few days before I hit Shannonville Sunday.
Grand total with UPS Duty/Tax/Brokerage came to $522.00 CDN!
If I really like these come sunday, i may order a second set

You better do a lot of driving, they are supposed to get really good around 1500k!

I had a bit of greasy moment this weekend, but I have to say the tires are very progressive and let you know whats happening. I had no problem realizing that I was getting to a point where I shouldn't be and get back under control mister.

After I drove a bit more, went back to the saem place to see if they improved, sure enough it was momentary, probably still scrubbing off release goo. So do be careful.

I really do like them, still fiddling with the tire pressures, it'll be interesting to see where they need to be at the track.

Thats insanely cheap for a set of tires, probably should order another set while the shipping is free!

They are great on the road in the wet, I took them out in some major rain for kicks...impressive.

Looking in the side view they even kicked out some nifty water spray.
