Hankook Tires

Anyone have any experience with these ?

I am about to replace my OEM continentals this week and its between Hankook 727s or Michelin MXV4s. The Hankooks are about $40 cheeper per tire and have a 100k tire wear warranty.
I was told that Hankook is owned by Michelin overseas and they are as high of quality.

my.2 cents I have hankook k106, not bad for the money considering they where $65 each, but they've been on the car for over a year and a half now and I could say they are better than the OEM goodyears and the treads are cool.

Well as luck would have it, I didnt get the Hankooks.
They do look like a great tire for the money, but when I arrived at the tire shop
they had a set of Michelin Hydroedges right beside them and I couldnt pass them up
for an extra $100.....screw it its only money

Drive into work today was GREAT, those Continentals really SUCKED !
