Tires IRONMAN or MRF
An ultra-high-performance all-season tire, the iMove Gen 3 A/S from Ironman is designed for use on sport and performance-oriented coupes and sedans. Built with large shoulders that improve cornering and handling, the iMove Gen 3 A/S features an all-season rubber compound that allows for solid traction in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions.
Pros: solid traction, quiet ride
I thought they must be crap but after looking into them, they are very well-reviewed. A traction A temp, UHP (ultra-high performance) rated. I like them. You could pay $400/tire for a premium brand but they won't be 4 times better or last 4 times longer.
Pros: very well-reviewed, traction A temp, UHP rated, good value
I also use MRF tyres and mine are running solid for 4+ years. I had 2-3 pinhole punctures which were all repaired eith that mushroom like thing.
Pros: running solid, long lifespan
Cons: minor punctures
I stretch 225/35/19 Ironman Gen 2s on 9.5 wides, they seem like they have more stretch to give too.
Pros: good stretch potential
Ironman is a value line. They are not awful, also not outstanding. Wet traction and winter traction are not gonna be their strength.
Cons: poor wet, winter traction
Money forced my hand a couple summers back and I had to put new front tires on my Grand Marquis at the time. Had to go cheap and bought Ironman iMove all seasons. After a few months the only positives on the ledger were that a) they had tread and b) oddly, they balanced out unbelievably well. 80 MPH on the highway, smooth as glass. Ride and handling quality deteriorated quickly from new and they got loud in a hurry.
Pros: balanced well, smooth at speed
Cons: deteriorated quickly, got loud
