Tyre reviews Ikon Autograph Ice 9 SUV. Page 2 208

Good tires. I'm satisfied. Holds the road clearly at 170 km on asphalt. Handles snow normally. Studs have been in place for 3 months.

Ran for one season, the winter was low-snow and thaws, 90% of it was asphalt, the first two weeks were, of course, a nightmare in terms of noise, especially they started howling in the most working range in the city from 40 to 80 km/h. Already wanted to replace. Then they rode and after about 500 km, the range of howling shifted to a mark of over 100 km/h. In terms of noise and all other characteristics, they are no worse and no better than the Hakkas that were before. Not a single stud was lost during the season. There were also no problems with balancing, and there cannot be any if they are new, all problems with balancing are due to improper storage and transportation.

Excellent tires, great handling 6.0 on all roads, including ice, noise level is normal, only when accelerating it's audible, otherwise absolutely quiet, rating 5, I recommend

Good tires. No worse than Khaki, which was before. The noise is the same too. There is no difference. Let's see what happens next.

I drove on these tires for 3 winters. Initially, I had Nokian 9 Russia. By the end of the 3rd season, I noticed cracks. I was shocked... I stored the tires correctly! I drove calmly, didn't wear out the tires! In general, I contacted the manufacturer. They replaced them under warranty. I was surprised, considering that I didn't spend a penny and they delivered a new set of Autograph Ice 9 SUV right to my doorstep. In general, I installed them in December and already in January, all the cracks reappeared! Exactly the same! In the same places! In all other respects, the tires fully satisfy me! They handle the road on snow and especially on ice perfectly! In my opinion, they are not noisy. I think it's a defect, apparently, the technology was disrupted when they started manufacturing in Russia!

Overall, good tires, in terms of price-quality ratio, they hold well on ice, grip well in snow, but are noisy, that's for sure

Handles well in turns and holds the road on wet asphalt and icy crust.
There was no opportunity to operate in snow, but it was also supposed to be used in the city with variable coverage from dry to icy.
Very satisfied

Strange tires, writing after 2 seasons:

The first thing I want to note is that the tires have a very soft sidewall, which means that handling at speeds over 90 km/h becomes simply "non-existent", the car becomes soft and poorly manageable. At a speed of 100 km/h, you can sharply turn the steering wheel with an amplitude of 5 degrees, and the car will not notice it at all.

When driving up to 90 km/h, the sensations are very pleasant, small bumps are swallowed and almost imperceptible, lying policemen are overcome with comfort and without blows.

Secondly, after the first season, all 4 tires lost about 2-3 studs - worthy, but after the second - the driving wheels, although not actively skidding, remained with 2-3 studs on each. The rear (non-driving) wheels lost another 2 studs each. The tread wear is very weak, i.e. the tread remains, but unfortunately, there are no studs.

My review is subjective, I will be re-seating on the same ones, but with the "C" index. Let them be harder and less comfortable, but not at the expense of manageability.

I spent a long time choosing tires, despite the reviews I stopped at Aikon in memory of Hakka, the tires are no worse than Hakka, on 20-inch disks the balancing is 40-50 grams, which is generally excellent, the rubber on asphalt really makes noise with the studs like any other studded tire, after 1000 km it started to make less noise, the studs are all in place after 3000 km, in general I'm happy with the tires, especially for such an almost Chinese price, since Pirelli and Michelin are twice as expensive, and there's not much choice in different wide sizes, in general it's a super option.

I've been driving sedans on Hakkapelitta (7,8,9) my whole life. It was time to try the Autograft 9 SUV. At first, they were very noisy (my first impression was that I had forgotten to close the windows). The Hakkapelitta 9 didn't have such noise after leaving the tire shop (they were for sedans, without the SUV prefix, I was driving a Passat CC). They explained that the protector is bigger here and the size of the studs is larger, plus the wheel size is bigger - 315 rear, 275 front, while the sedans had 235. After 3000 km, the noise passed, I drove from the first day in frost and mainly on icy roads, probably that's why it took so long to run in. The grip is super, perfect for dynamic driving. It handles slush great, doesn't feel the rut, despite the different widths. At first, I thought of taking Michelin, but in the end, I didn't risk it, I was afraid that the grip wouldn't be like on Hakkapelitta. As for balancing - no more than 30g per wheel was needed.
