I've got the same brand tires on my car, 10,000 miles on them and they are still good. Taken them on a 300 mile roadtrip, 90+ mph speeds, dirt roads.
I have 17x8 RPF1's with 245/40 R17 Hankook V12's and I have no problems with rubbing. Final et is 35 in the front and 30 in the rear on my car. I'm also lowered on ST Coils to about a 2 finger gap all around.
The tire I decided to go with is the Goodyear Eagle RS-A2 P245/45R19, as it is almost the exact diameter of my stock P225/65 16" tires, and they were an affordable choice ($185 Canadian).
I had both the Sumitomos and Hankooks on my R32. Hankooks had more grip after they were broken in. The Sumitomos became noisy towards the end while the Hankooks were quiet down to the wear bars. I'd rate them both better than the Dunlop Sport Maxx's that came with the car. The Hankooks on my GTI seem to have quicker steering response and seem less squishy than the R32. Probably because I am running 235/40 on the GTI and had 225/40 on the R32. 235's have a higher load rating. Plus the R32 was a heavier car.
Had a set on my s2000 and liked them too. Very good rubber for the money. Predictable, good wet grip, not incredibly noisy either. They also held up well right until I cooked the rears off below the wear bars.
I have the GoodYear FuelMax on my Volt. Not the worst tires I've ever had, but not great. Very quick to break loose on a highway ramp.
Got rid of the Hankooks on my SE V6, replaced them with Michelin Primacy with a small Discount Tire trade-in allowance. Ride is maybe a little better, expansion joint thump is a little better, but noise on all but the smoothest asphalt is bad; on concrete, it's almost intolerable.
