Just got my delivery
they're a set of 4 275/40/17's Hankook Ventus Z214 C70 (they come in 3 different compounds, C30, C50, C70...70 being the softest. )

These things look beautiful - I've been AutoXing on Toyo RA-1's and can't wait to feel the difference (RA1's are a bit hard for autoX - they take too long to warm up)...only bad thing is that the next AutoX event is not for 3 weeks
I've been reading up a lot on AutoX tires and know that people usualy talk about Hoosier's and Kuhmo's for AutoX R-compound tires, but there's been a lot of talk about Hankook the past few years, and it sounds like many people prefer these over the others. It really seems like Hankook is pushing hard to enter the racing world...they've developed a great set of tires (dry & wet R-compounds with a range of compounds), and they've been giving really good contingency's!
Here's some shots of them:
I'll post up my impressions once I get a chance to run them. I'll be running in BSP this year.
