I've seen some China vendors selling those wheels. I don't know if they are made in China, knock-offs, or the real thing. That's the only thing that worries me and why I don't recommend them.
I do know they make tires for bicycles and have a good rep there.

Why? Would like to know because I have them. That way, I'll get something else next time.

I actually considered the Hancockers. There was a discussion on M5Board about these tires compared to the PS2's. They didn't get the highest marks from a handful of owners, so I opted for the T1R's from members who came from PS2's and went to Toyo. I think it's just personal preference.
I wanted go with Toyo too but VT and KnightCom said the tires sucks.

I've had these Vrederstein ultracs for 2 years now, and they're good. Until I got a flat. Now the Ultracs are discontinued, and I either purchase 2 Sessanta Ultracs for the rear or go with PS2s all around. Thing is I still have tread on the remaining tires!

Well Hankook are made in Asia thats why. Vrederstein is made in Germany I believe.

I think everyone has their preference. I just can't justify spending 1500+ for PS2's. I can almost get 3 SETS of Hankook's for one set of PS2's 
But I'ver heard GREAT things about Vrederstein's. The tires are really sticky but doesn't last that long.
