Tires OEM Toyota or IRONMAN
Reviews
I bought 4 new Ironman tires and I am still very content with them.
Pros: very content
I had those on my Stock S13 (169 HP) on 17's and they worked like a charm.
Beautiful consistent Grip through the whole tire-life. I also didn't overinflate them. Ran them on 2 Bar cold pressure.
I honestly was impressed how well they worked on my car.
Pros: consistent grip, whole tire-life
Vehicle:
Nissan
I got the ironman iMove gen 2 as, for about 600 CAD plus instal they are a all season and have been really good so far, just terrible in snow and ice other then that I'd recommend
Pros: good all season
Cons: terrible in snow, ice
I’ve seen a lot of people in WA run Ironmans. Decent grip and decent thread wear. Solid tire for the money.
Pros: decent grip, decent wear
Mine is so great in the city, can whip a U-turn anywhere and gets 30-35 MPG no matter how you drive it. I am kind of sad you can't get cars like this anymore, but it is kind of hard to justify when something that's an order of magnitude more refined is only like $1500 more. But there is something fun about ripping around in something 153" long that only weighs 2300 lbs. It never needs brakes and doesn't eat up tires no matter how "spiritedly" I drive.
Pros: great in the city, fun
Cons: small, unrefined
Vehicle:
Toyota Yaris
I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.
Pros: handles fine in winter
Cons: burns more fuel
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
We've just been through the worst winter in many years and our matrix has done very well with the factory tires. If you're not going off road fwd is fine. The deepest unplowed snow I drove through was about 8 inches and I felt like that was pushing it.
Pros: done very well
Cons: pushing it at 8 inches
Vehicle:
Toyota Matrix
Lol, zero grip on dry pavement? They aren’t the best tires, but I really didn’t have any major complaints after 35k miles and ended up buying a second set of brand new take-offs to replace them.
Pros: bought second set
Cons: not the best tires
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 56327 km
I use 245-45-17 but ironman gen 2s have slightly less grip, and will last about as long. Only big downside I noticed is off throttle the ironmans will "float" alot more than the 595s. I started running the ironmans when the federals started going out of stock everywhere this summer
Pros: last about as long
Cons: less grip, float more
Just had this happen (don’t buy Ironman tires) it eventually popped on the way home from a long day of work. Wish I hadn’t waited to address it sooner
Cons: eventually popped
