Tires IRONMAN or VITOUR

I stretch 225/35/19 Ironman Gen 2s on 9.5 wides, they seem like they have more stretch to give too.

I switched from cup2's to vitour's on my 981 gt4 and have no complaints. They last longer and I think they more consistent than the cup2's.

I have these guys on my V8 SUV. Didn't give them much thought, was a good deal, and ride quality is much improved. Mine balanced fine and look pretty new after a year and almost 10,000km. I don't drag or track race, I'll floor it occasionally for a thrill and I drive probably 160km/h max on highways.

Ive had ironmans and they were good. Ive had sailuns that were good. Right now i have a car that has 5 yr old Solar brand tires and ive put about 80000mi on.

Having run a C6Z06 nationally, I know the struggle of having wide wheels and not a lot of tire choices. If I were still running it, I'd look at the Vitour P1s.

Running them on my VW. 245/40/17. 2 autox and a track day and just worn off the sword fish in the tread.

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.

They look better than my Vitours I bought in may... 90 minutes of track day time and 7 asphalt autocross events.

Vitours are terrible cold and don't work well if your car doesn't generate enough heat.

Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
