My housemate's '10 Mini Clubman has Sailun tires (not his choice) on it. In all honesty they're not bad at all, given they're still good with 10k miles on them, and the torrential rain we experienced on I-95 the past week (on a 2000+ mile trip). Likely will get better next time, but they're holding up well.
The Ventus V12 EVO K110 is Hankook's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes, and high performance vehicles. A PROVEN street-tire known to deliver superb control and braking.

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.
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 had Kumho and Hankooks. The Kumho, while being the superior dry tire (grip, feel), was terrifying in the rain. The really good think about Hankooks is that they grip well, are predictable, and ride really, really well (had 'em on 245/35/19s and rode way better than my winter set (235/50/17s). But as OP and many others have said, the sidewalls are waaaay too soft. Yeah, you can pump up the pressure by a couple PSI, but by doing that you're reducing the longevity of the tire (wears out center way more quickly).
I had the 18" Hankook tires on my 2012 Highline and managed to get almost 50,000 KMs out of them before I traded the car. They were always quite noisy, and they wore terribly.
