Budget all-season tires
- Low price
- Good grip on all road conditions
- Smooth, quiet ride
- 100,000-mile tread-wear warranty
- New tire lacks a real-life track record
The Hankook Optimo H727 performs just as well as the top-rated Goodyear Assurance TripleTred (*Est. $140) in one leading test, showing no real weakness on any road condition and even outperforming the pricier TripleTred on snow and ice. Owners agree that the Optimo more than holds its own on real-life winter roads, plowing through 4 to 6 inches of snow according to some user reports -- but they still rate the TripleTred higher on all road conditions. The Optimo H727 carries an even longer tread-life warranty than the TripleTred (100,000 miles versus 80,000 miles), but the TripleTred's government tread-wear rating is slightly higher than the Optimo H727's, although both are very high (740 versus 700).
Two retail websites -- TireRack.com and 1010Tires.com -- have attracted a healthy number of owner reviews for the Hankook Optimo H727. ConsumerReports.org includes the Optimo H727 in its latest comparison test of 26 all-season tires, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publishes tread-wear, traction and heat-resistance ratings for the Optimo H727 and most other tires on the market.
