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

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

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
