Tires IRONMAN or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have a MK6 and it handles great on snow with winter tires.
Pros: handles great on snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I'm in ironman gen 2 from tire discounters all 4, i got all the tires and the mount and a alignment and balancing for like 400$ bucks with the deal they run. And a free oil change. But the ironmans have done me well they did good in rain and snow and i haven't exactly been nice to them, handled potholes too.
Pros: good in rain and snow
second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.
Pros: very smooth in winter
Cons: front assist unavailable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Alles top, solang die richtige Karkasse nicht in Vorschein kommt ist das in Ordnung.
Pros: Alles top
Cons: Karkasse nicht Vorschein
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
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
Ironman and milemaker are the last two sets and they lasted about 75% of what a premium brand would.
Cons: shorter lifespan
I had a front wheel drive VW Golf GTI with an ECU tune. My front tires lasted about 25k km.
Cons: tires lasted 25k km
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 25000 km
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
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
Cons: straight MOT failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
This tire is new Iron Man. This is the second chunk missing; the other tire was replaced under warranty. It’s new, maybe 2 months old.
Cons: chunks missing, warranty replacement
