Need a tire review on Ironman iMove
I am looking to get some honest feedback regarding Hercules Ironman Imove.
I understand this is a lower end tire, but can anyone provide their review on these? My main concern would be the noise levels throughout the life of the tire. I would not be tracking the car, it will be mainly a daily commuter. I need to get two rear tires in 275/30/19 size. They seem very attractive when it comes to pricing. Spoke to a few tire shops, and they are all saying that the tire is not bad at all. Thanks guys. |

TERRRRRRIBLLLLEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
My dad bought an E class and the dealer put the iMoves all around. Drove like crap. Terrible grip. Very floaty. We replaced them to contis in 2 weeks. Tossed them in a dumpster. Just spend a few extra dollars and get some good tires. It's the one thing keeping you and the road apart. Most important thing.

They are manufactured by Cooper Tires. Probably best to spend a bit more for quality tires. Tires are crucial for comfort and safety.

If you are looking for a low dollar tire that performs well for the price, check out the Achilles ATR Sport 2. I'm on my 2nd season with them. Grip is better than expected and tire wear has been pretty reasonable. I never drove them in the snow but I'm positive they are awful in it (their performance really degrades below 40 degrees F, like most Z rated tires).
Nexen is another brand to check out; lower price but the tires are known for performing well. Mid-price, check out Nitto's lineup. |

Currently have them on my car and for the money I cannot complain about them as they grip and ride well.

Thanks guys.
I steered away from these. Ended up getting a really good deal on Falken Azenis FK453. So far happy with them. They definitely sit wider than the Hankooks V12 I had on before, so I get an occasional rub on dips. Size is 275/30/19 on a 10/19" wheel. |

Wider? I had the same size FK452 and FK453 and they looked REALLY stretched on my wheels compared to V12 evo or V12 evo2.

Sorry, not same size as you. 265/30/19 on 19x11 on both the Falkens and Hankooks. Both Falkens looked much more stretched/narrow than both the Hankooks.
