I went from Advan Sports, 245/285 (19") to the Hankooks 275/305 (20") and they are definitely not as responsive. The front of the car feels less planted, especially at high speed, and the movement is extremely squishy going into turns. Overall the tires have a greasy ride.
With the Advans, when I turned the wheel, the feedback from the tires was perfect. The car went into the turn with purpose and held to whatever line you put it in. With the Hankooks, it feels like there is almost more body roll and the front end drifts around similar to what you get in a big lexus sedan or something.
Ride quality is fine. They are a bit quieter. However, I will definitely not purchase them again.
