I know this thread's a year old now, but just in case anyone was curious...

I bought a set of the Hankook Evos last year with my 17" Fachs. Due to receiving a bad wheel, I ended up putting only a few KMs on the tires last year, but my initial impressions were poor. They seem to be harsh in ride, but very squishy/squirmy in handling. I don't remember what pressures I was running, but the car felt more planted and more responsive last year with 15" 50-series Yokohama S-drives at 28psi all around. I haven't managed to get the car out yet this spring, but I plan to play with the pressures to see if I can get a better ride/handling balance.

Needless to say I won't be getting the Hankooks for my BMW this year - for that car I'm leaning towards the Michelin Pilot Super Sports... but that would have been total overkill for mt 911.
