Tires OEM Mazda or IRONMAN
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
Only been about 4 months, but loving the Turbo Meridian and had no issues. So fun to drive and looking forward to snowboarding in Lake Tahoe. Handles great in the snow
Pros: fun to drive, handles great
Vehicle:
Mazda
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
30k miles on 2024 mazda3 turbo hatchback. No problems other than replaced tires due to the low profiles hitting potholes.
Pros: no problems
Cons: replaced tires due to potholes
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 30000 km
I miss my shitty NB for the winter. It had a lsd and decent snow tires. Other than super deep snow, that setup was perfect.
Pros: perfect setup
Cons: super deep snow
Vehicle:
Mazda
Ironman and milemaker are the last two sets and they lasted about 75% of what a premium brand would.
Cons: shorter lifespan
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
The tire size on the vehicle is not common and I’m seeing prices of $300+ per tire, more expensive than my F-150.
Cons: expensive tire prices
Vehicle:
Mazda
As others have said, bulging is a sign that the internal structure of the tyre has failed. As frustrating as this is, it's new tyre time.
Cons: internal structure failed
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
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
