Tires IRONMAN or Shinko
I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.
Pros: great street tires
Cons: loose and washy offroad
Alot of people are snobs and your bound to have a bad batch out of the millions of tires sold yearly but modern tires still need to pass DOT certs so there's some form of quality control. Ironman make a terrific set of mud tires and all season sport tires for the price even though they don't last that long.
Pros: terrific set, good price
Cons: don't last long
I put on Shinko Ravens and they are more confidence inspiring than the Michelin Pilot 3s I was using.
Pros: confidence inspiring
Might I suggest some Shinko’s. I got 16k out of the back tire I got for my Goldwing, 12k+ of those were overloaded doing 80-90 across the country and through the Rockies.
Pros: high mileage, impressed
Cons: overloaded
Mileage: 16000 km
Get the shinko 777, they’re great. Stickiest compound tire I run and I have no issues in the rain. Great for wheelies too
Pros: stickiest compound, great wheelies
Cons: none
- Have been running Shinko 777 tires on my FLHRSI which I'm very happy with, but am going with the longer lasting Shinko 999 tires next.
Pros: very happy with
Cons: going with longer lasting
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
They put Ironman tires on it???? but surprisingly they aren’t performing half bad !
Pros: surprisingly good performance
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
Cons: slipped in wet weather
I too just replaced half worn ironman tires with dws's on a car I just bought. Wet grip on the ironman was some of the worst I'd ever experienced on a tire with tread still on it.
Cons: worst wet grip
