overall, I love these tires; they hold up really well, and traction is there from the beginning to end of each run (no waiting for the tires to heat up for max traction, and no sign of greasiness at the end from overheating). The only time I felt the tires get greasey was when I was co-driving the car and did 8 runs in a really quick time period...the last 2 runs had a lot of rear end action! (I've done 8 runs in a session when just driving myself, and never experienced this...so I'm not concerned about overheating in normal conditions)
here's a pic of the action:

details:
the Hankook Ventus R214's come in 3 different compounds:
C70 (softest), C50 (med), C30 (hardest)
so far these tires have outperformed my expectations...they're stick so well!
