Has anyone run the Hankook r-s2?

It's time for some new rubber. My last tire was the yoko' avs es100, I was going to buy them again, they are cheap and Im on a tight budget, but I came across these...

Im no expert, but with a tread ware of 200, and those "blocky" edges, I would expect them to work well.

200 treadwear is a fast wearing tire, and Hankook is cheaper rubber IMO.

I am running Falken GRB FK451 225/50 16, which has a silica compound (good grip and wear) and great wet and dry performance.

Hankook is a Korean tire, Falken and Yokohama are Japaneese. I'd stay away form Hankook, think of Korean cars... I've also got the Falken FK-451's and love them. They are cheaper than the ES-100's and are stikier. They might not last as long but IMHO it's about the best deal you can get in that kind of tire without loosing performance or quality.
