They have a wear rating of 280 compared to 260 on the Nitto Invos and only 220 on the Michelin Pilot PS2 (the higher the number the better the wear).

These are z rated performance tires. You can do a little less with a lower rated tire.

The Hankook EVOs really make a difference on the front. The feel is better and they even feel more responsive. They also appear to be as quiet as the Nitto Invos.
One thing to remember, and I believe this is true, the wear rating range on tires are only for that specific brand. As in the 200 rating for a Firestone brand tire is not the same as a 200 rating on a Goodyear brand tire. It's a place to start as a reference point between brands, but it does make your choice a little harder to figure out if your just looking at that number.
