I just purchased a set of Hankooks Ventus RH06 from OnlineTires.com. Got them in about 5 days. Shipped from CA to OH. Can't wait to get rid of the F1s. Only got about 18K out of each set.
Item: Hankook Ventus ST RHO6
Item price: $128.00
Item quantity: 4
Size: 295/45/18 VR
Total this item: $512.00
Order subtotal: $512.00
Shipping - UPS Ground: $76.71
Sales tax: $0
Order grand total: $588.71
BTW, what PSI are you guys running in the Hankooks? I'm waiting for the snow to melt before I get them installed and wake the L from it's hibernation.

update on nitto 295
i've had my nitto 295's on for about 2 months now with 2 or 3,000 mi. on them.... so far i like them alot.... i dont think that they are quite as good as f1's as far as performance but they look good imo.... however the first night i had them in the rain i was doing some slipping but i can avoid it by slowing down a little.... thick rubber... and cheaper than the f1's.... we'll have to see how long they hold up but so far so good
