Which Hankooks did you have, and why didn't you like 'em?

Just for kicks, I'll point out that Hankook is a Korean company, not Chinese (in fact, "Hankook" means "Korea" in Korean). True, they manufacture tires in China. So does Pirelli. And BFG. And Yokohama. Hankook provides tires for a number of open-wheel, closed-wheel, and rally racing series... suggesting that everything they make is crap seems a bit of a generalization.

But I would like to hear more about your experience with the tires on your Boxster...

Use the $3 Turtle wax car wash instead of the $13 Griot's Garage.
