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.
It matters, but not enough for you to worry too much about it. When I did my first replacement on my m2 comp, I made sure they replaced them with the * spec and sure enough, they felt great.
But on my second time getting new tires, I just went aftermarket, spent less money and got a tire that fits my needs a little better.
Perhaps I’m just spoiled, as the roads here in the Netherlands are top notch.
I’ve gotten more than my moneys worth from extended warranties and tire/wheel across five different cars. I think they are well worth it
Ironman and milemaker are the last two sets and they lasted about 75% of what a premium brand would.
Ironman is a value line. They are not awful, also not outstanding. Wet traction and winter traction are not gonna be their strength.
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.
Stock BMW tires are run flats. Run flats stink.
With the stock run flats th ride is brittle and harsh.
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.
