Ikon Nordman SX3

I purchased it in July 2024 in my city, not at Mosavtoshin. It's a bit unpleasant that budget models like this SX3 don't fall under the extended warranty of Nokian/Ikon. Overall, the tires are satisfactory. The Zafira confidently passes through familiar rings and turns at a comfortable speed of 90 km/h for me. In a water-filled rut, there is a slight feeling of aquaplaning, but on a wet road and in the rain, it holds confidently. On a dry road, there are no issues at 90-110 km/h. I drove on them until the first snow. Despite being summer tires, they handle the first snow with water excellently. No slipping, skidding, or loss of control when braking. The model pleasantly surprised me. I waited for the sticky snow. On compacted, glossy, and pressed snow, I didn't expect any miracles. At 40-55 km/h, it handles serpentine roads with small elevation changes reasonably well. Of course, it holds better on slightly loose snow, but in a light snowdrift, it pulls and pushes like summer tires should. Lastly, the tires are relatively noisy, but it's comfortable to talk in the cabin in a normal, calm tone, and the hum on asphalt with large gravel isn't annoying. As for the sidewalls, there are no complaints either. Significant potholes at 40 km/h, encountered by accident, are withstood.

I compare them to the discontinued Kormoran/Taurus/Tigar. In my opinion, the Tigar Syneris on the Zafira was the best in its budget. I haven't found any tires that can match the silence, handling, and braking of those tires yet.

Excellent tires. No noise. Stable in any driving style. Not soft and not hard. Just what you need. And at such a price.

Good tire. Previously, I had Chinese Sailun, and before that Nokian. So, the Chinese one was the least successful. Ikon holds the road well, both on dry and wet asphalt, and when driving into puddles. The wear for this mileage is minimal compared to the Chinese one.
