Up to you really, but if you are happy enough with those tyres, you might aswell stick with them.
With regards to your assumtion, if they are good enough for OE, they are good enough for replacements, i would have to disagree. Manufacturers choice of tyre is going to be based on cost, not whether or not they are the best tyre for the car. That isnt to say the hankook is a bad tyre, im sure it meets whatever 'required standards' there are. Unless your cee'd is a performance version, the main criteria, other than cost, will be economy and low rolling resistance. Its also probably worth pointing out that hankook is a South Korean brand, as is kia/hyundai, which is probably also a factor in their being chosen.
My wife has a hyundai i30 (which, under the skin, is essentially the same car as the cee'd) with relatively small diameter tyres with deep sidewalls, they are also hankooks. The dimensions of the tyre makes for a pretty cushy ride, but im not very impressed with them otherwise. It is a motability car and will be being replaced in a weeks time, If it was our own car, i would definately be looking into other tyre options.
