Tyre reviews Ikon Autograph Aqua 3 SUV. Page 1 94

So, I'm ready to write a review. I've driven in almost all possible conditions for summer tires: city, highway, rain, potholes, and hellish heat at plus 45 degrees.

They handle the highway perfectly, there's no aquaplaning (at 110 km/h on the M4, I several times drove into deep puddles, if with two wheels, it doesn't deviate from the course at all, if with one side, it slightly drifts but controllably), the noise level is minimal, they're harder, of course, than winter tires, but at a pressure of 2.2 atm, they're quite comfortable and not hard.

I've driven into deep potholes a couple of times, the wheels are intact.

Conclusion: they're definitely worth their money, plus there's a warranty that really works.

While new, they are perfect, but by 30 thousand they can already be scrapped, there are 2 mm left to the tread indicator, they started making noise and wild aquaplaning. In general, the experiment with domestic rubber failed. It's not worth the money.

An excellent tire for affluent individuals who can afford to buy a new set every season or so. After 12,000 km of normal city driving, 4 mm of tread remained.

The tires are good. The store is not very good. When buying these tires, the seller is holding a promotion. Free shipping across Russia. In the end, they charge for shipping. Refused to buy. Deception right away and in small things.

DO NOT TAKE, GARBAGE. I bought them last summer, since they were new and there were no reviews. Before them, I bought Korean Kumho Ecsta PS71 SUV 112V 265/65 R17 for my Prado, and immediately noticed that the wheel beats after 80 km/h. We believed that all tires are initially crooked. I returned them to the seller. I bought these Aqua 3 SUV. At first, they behaved normally. After 5 thousand kilometers of driving on Moscow region roads, before a long trip, I decided to rebalance them again, because the wheel started to beat at speed. And at the end of the season, with 11 thousand kilometers of mileage, the wheel started to beat strongly at speed again. During the seasonal tire change, I asked professionals to check them on a machine. It turned out that the geometry of all tires was violated. And this is with my careful driving!!! I didn't hit potholes, I didn't jump on curbs. With 28 years of driving experience, I haven't encountered such crappy tires for a pretty penny, claiming to be premium class...

A week ago, I purchased summer tires in the size 235/55/18. They were balanced perfectly, the tires are quiet, soft, grippy, with a clear response to steering wheel movements, and they handle the road excellently, with no aquaplaning at reasonable speeds. On wet grass after a rain, driving through a field, they pull confidently, although I have a four-wheel drive vehicle. I am completely satisfied with the quality of the tires, despite their slightly higher cost compared to similar products from well-known Korean and European brands produced in the RF.

Excellent characteristics for dry and wet roads of varying quality, but in my opinion, they are too soft, wear is already noticeable and fuel consumption has increased a bit. I tried changing the pressure - it doesn't help. I replaced the wheels with winter Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 and the consumption was restored, the noise of course increased, but in terms of stiffness, they seem more adequate.

Wear of 2 mm in 15000, a waste.

In terms of steering qualities, it's average. I bought it in 2024. In 2026, at the tire service, they said to throw it away. Over 20 thousand kilometers and 2 seasons, all 4 wheels wore down to the indicators. Apparently, the front wheels wear out to zero in one season. Before that, Yokohama BlueEarth lasted 4 seasons on this car and behaved approximately the same. Before that, Bridgestone Turanza lasted 6 seasons on this car. Bridgestone was better in terms of handling, but noisier and felt stiffer. At speeds above 150, Bridgestone started to howl.

In general, Autograph Aqua3 is the worst thing this car has seen. And the price is like they're asking for a decent one.

I definitely DO NOT recommend!
Very soft rubber compound, driving is comfortable for the first/maximum second season. Wore out very quickly (lasted only 2 seasons). My mileage from year to year is the same, I don't drive aggressively.
The cost is unjustifiably high.
