Anyone ever run these in 14"? Tire rack has a good price and says it's their best seller in that size.

I bought a set of 185/65/14r h727's from them 2 years ago, they are one of the few all seasons that actually work properly in all seasons... I have got nothing but excellent traction from them, after 20k miles I'm down to about 5 or 6/32 from driving hard and fast. They work quite well but next time I'm just going to fork over the cash for snow tires and summer performance tires.

Great tires unless you are a very spirited driver. I have them on a 2000 Saturn SL1. Very happy after just over a year and just under 10K miles. The reviews are consistent and correct: Smooth ride on the highway, a bit of 'bounce' on side roads (driving a Saturn S does not help there), good dry grip for an all-season, excellent snow grip for an all-season, decent wet grip, good fuel economy for a non-LRR tire, great treadlife---and if you get them on a good sale you will never beat the deal.
I got mine from DTD-eBay in early November 2012 at an unreal price: $158 shipped after two rebates, and $210 installed after a coupon at the local Firestone.
Check DTD and other online stores for rebate deals. Unless you need them right now, hold off for awhile. Better deals are coming. And if you do need tires right now, you will have to shop hard to find a better deal than the H727. Again, the one caveat is if you like to do Speed Racer, though not sure how many cars that take 14-inch rubber that's an issue.
Have fun.

I put them on our Matrix 2 years ago, they work just fine.
They are Quiet, wear well and offer good all season performance.
Now having said that, this is a daily Grocery getter, we do not push this car to the limit.
We purchased through DT and had them match Walmart and DTD for price, with Taxes in.

I had the somewhat similar H725 on my Focus from the factory. It did decent (for an all season tire) in the snow.
Tires have around 30K miles on them and are worn out.

i used to like tire rack but I just found out they don't price match... just lost my business sorry guys... I try to use discount tire direct now as they will pricematch virtually anyone
I had DTD price match DT even though the first phone rep I talked to didn't want to. So I asked for the manager and he quickly agreed after I sent a link to his email. A savings of $30/tire then $100 rebate gift card.
I been doing reearch for all season tires as I am going to be in light to moderate snow during hollidays but also in dry coditions of nevada.
Hanhook H series seem to be highly regarded , a great bang for buck, theyre at top of my list.

The H727 is an excellent tire for passenger cars and small suv's/cuv's. They do very well in bad weather as well. Only weak area so to speak from what I have gathered is the sidewall is not as strong as other brands. Overall however they are an exceptional value and performer.

I've had a set on my Elantra for about 35,000 miles now, and I've been quite happy with them. I drive conservatively, so I still have ample tread left, and I have no doubts they'll do well into the 70,000 or 80,000 mile range. They are solid in all driving conditions, however if there's deep snow and I have to drive, I would take the pickup with 4 wheel drive. But in the moderate snows in which I've used the tires they've performed quite well.

I'm working with -3 camber all the way around and spin tires quite often so accelerated wear is expected and they were cheap anyway.

I have put them on 3 cars and currently have them on my LS 430. Great tire for the price...
