Owner reviews for tires

I can second the contis as being great in summer, handling >30 degrees Celsius with aplomb.

I live in buffalo area we just were hit with 2 feet of snow the past two days. I put dedicated 20inch wheels and Michelin x ice tires on it instead of the 22” stock wheels and Michelin all seasons. It’s the most planted feeling I’ve had in a vehicle in the winter. I love how well the defrost works too. I’m start a new post tho for what is the most overkill windshields wipers available for the ix. I need them.

The iX does really well in the snow. No skidding at all on the Goodyear All-Seasons. I do feel vibration when going over 50 mph on the highway, and a google search said that it’s because of snow stuck in the wheels. I definitely have snow in there so hopefully it will improve once it melts.

I put on a set of Michelin x-ice and went down to 20” rims from the stock 21’s. Handles great, very little sliding, good grip and I was surprised how quiet the tires are for full snows.

I just installed Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 studded winter tires 275/45R21 on the OEM 21x9" rim just in time for the big storm. We got 16" of snow yesterday. It did great in deep snow and ice, going up hills no problem. This is my first winter with the iX and I was hoping the stock Goodyear Eagle Touring would be sufficient in light snow, but I wouldn't recommend driving it unless the roads are perfectly cleared. It was difficult driving on the Goodyear Eagle Touring tires even with just an inch of snow before the roads were cleared, which is what prompted me to install winter tires mid-winter. If you live in an area that gets snow or ice in the winter, it could be worth getting a winter set. Having two sets of tires will also reduce the mileage on your summer set, allowing them to last longer. I don't think it's possible for the stock tires to last the entire 3 year duration of the lease. Based on current wear and other reviews, I expect the Goodyears to last maybe 15,000 miles.

My Hankook icept IZ3's are killing the New York weather...

Probabil cele premium sunt OK, am pus ni\u0219te panarame de torque pe cotarca cu care merg la birou, zgomotoase, ca trac\u021biune sunt okeish dar unde am prins drumul ne cur\u0103\u021bat, au tendin\u021ba s\u0103 te fure .

Am avut 8 ani anvelope de iarna, 0 zapada, ba chiar 20g cu plus, dar am trecut la allseason si numai ninsoare si -5 grade prin Iasi.\n\nPe flescaraie la -5 grade am testat fara probleme \n\nPe zapada curata mers cu 20kmph fara probleme.\n\nPe zapada cu gheata dedesubt, 0 aderenta, doar drift.\n\nAnvelope Laufen 4Gfit

This looks like a Vredestein Wintrac Pro. I’ve had two sets of them and both times I’ve developed a side bubble on one of the tires at around the second time I put them on for winter. In any case, from my experience it seems like they have a weak side wall construction and won’t be buying them again.

This tire is a GITI tire made in China, Indonesia and America & it's not the best by far. Probably defective and inferior materials combined with whatever you drove into or over it failed miserably.
