    The Gen II OEM size is 185/65R15.

    195/60R15 is the size closest to that and which the Hankook Optimo H727 comes in.

    Curious, if you're in Florida, why do you need an all-season tire that performs so well in snow and ice? Might you be better off with some of the all-seasons that perform better than the Hankook in dry and/or rain conditions?

    I know they are great on snow and ice in vermont,
    but how will the Hankook optimo h727 handle in the rain and dry florida roads?

    I don't have them. But they're my choice for my next tires because living in NYC I need a good 4 season tire.

    However, I assume they will perform "Very Good" on wet and dry roads, as noted by Consumer Reports:

    BTW, based on my own experience with TripleTreds (which have the same +/- rolling resistance as the Hankooks) in this size, I think you should expect a drop of around 2 mpg.
