I got a set of Hankook Optimo H727's for my '07 Matrix (and my wife's '99 Corolla too) and like them very much. I had a little trouble getting my local mechanic to get them (he wanted to sell me what he wanted to sell me) so I just ordered them online myself (Tire Rack) had them delivered to my house, then installed by the local guy. Turned out to be cheaper that way, too.
It seemed strange at first to have tires delivered right to my house (UPS) but it worked out perfectly. I could also have chosen to have them delivered directly to my mechanic...
They were highly rated by Consumer Reports, for what it's worth. That aside, they're good, and seem to be wearing well.
Hope this helps

can someone pleaseeee ******* tell me that the issue was solve and how instead of blabbing out garbage that no resolution to the tire issue please ppl get with the program...and I want a permant resolution not a temporary one...thank you Dam
It seems the 55 series is noisier than 60.
I have same issue with 2008 Matrix (base). When i moved rear tyres to the front, i noticed a light wear on the inside of the rear tyres. When moved forward, cupping sound started. it was more pronounced on the right rear tire.
I have a 2008 Corolla as well; never had this issue but then again; it run 185/65/R15 vs 205/55/R16.
I got the car aligned and rear right camber was -1.25 within the spec. Question is as follows - can the rear camber be adjusted without the shim kit or do you need it in order to get it right?
Any suggestions would be appreciated for Toronto area.
Also, i am considering replacing 205 with 185 set like the corolla. The dealership confirmed no issues with that on my model.
So, has anyone had success with adjusting the camber/ alignment settings? Or anything else? Any chance Toyota will help? Also, does anyone happen to know if the Pontiac Vibe also has the same issues? I know the 2005 Matrix and Vibe are essentially the same car.
I am thinking I might just buy used tires since new tires probably won't last anyway!
Thanks, and I hope to to hear from someone

Thanks again!
