Tyre reviews Ikon Autograph Ice 9. Page 1 147

After 300 km, the tire started to delaminate, which was photographed and sent to the factory. To put it mildly, I was sent and found to be guilty myself. This has never happened with any other tire. The run-in was extremely gentle, in the city, without going on the highway. It's scary to think what would happen on the highway. Also, I was left with my phone, and no one even called me back to resolve this situation.

I drove for 6 winters on Hakkapeliitta 9 on a four-wheel drive sedan - apart from noise, there were no drawbacks and it seemed like a compromise. In the 24-25 winter season, based on my previous experience, I decided to take this replica of Hakkapeliitta 9 - ikon/autograph-ice-9/185-60 for VW Polo Sedan after 7 winters on Hakkapeliitta 8 - to experience disappointment is to experience nothing!!! Questions about noise, handling on snowy asphalt, questions about braking on rolled snow to the state of ice.

The declared "premium" of Autograph 9 has nothing to do with the previous Hakkapeliitta 9 - the characteristics are greatly exaggerated, as well as the price.

Would I buy it again - categorically no. Would I return the tires to the seller - absolutely yes.

Compared to the "hakkai" heaven and earth, as claimed by manufacturers. The equipment and personnel may be the same, but the components are no longer the same

There was a Hakka 9 before, but the Finnish ones left, I decided to take our analog of Hakka 9, unfortunately, it turned out that just like with the original tire, we can't make the same quality rubber, on Hakka 8 I drove 4 seasons and 5-6 studs came off the tire for 4 seasons, and here 4-5 studs came off per wheel for the season and many studs are loose, unfortunately, there is no original Hakka like Cola tire, it's being sent to Avito! Do you think it's worth buying or not, it's not worth the money, either take a real Hakka or look for another tire, I will never return to Autograph Ice 9

I drove Nokian Hakkapeliitta for many years, only bought it, I really liked it, despite the noise. I bought G...O after watching the ads, that it's the same tires with a different name... in 3 months on 2 cars with a mileage of about 5000 km, half of the studs are gone. It became much noisier. I will definitely not buy it again

Bought tires as an analog to replace Nokian.
Complete disappointment.
Over the season, the entire tread cracked. Driven a maximum of 5,000 kilometers.
Noise like an airplane during takeoff.
On dry asphalt and ice, it doesn't hold at all.
For such a price (18k per tire), you can find better options. Don't be fooled, I don't recommend it to anyone

I've already driven almost 3000 km on these tires (November-January). I have nothing bad to say, as I haven't discovered any issues during this period.

When driving on dry asphalt, these tires are very noisy, but the noise disappears sharply on snow.

I haven't had a chance to evaluate their handling on ice yet, as there hasn't been any solid and thick ice on the roads this year.

Pros: tread pattern, densely icy roads in the city or urban village, snowy courtyards - this is the native environment of these tires. Here, their full potential is revealed.
Cons: very noisy on bare asphalt. But this is the flip side of having a large number of spikes. On a country highway, when a thin ice crust forms on the asphalt (especially in turns), blown by snow - that's where they don't feel very confident. Well, I mean, control is not lost and does not skid.... But you understand that it's better not to drive more than 100.
Wear resistance: only one spike fell out over the season.
Conclusion: the tires are not bad, but I'm not sure I would buy them again. Unless at a good discount.

I've had bad luck with these tires. I bought them in 2024 after reading their specifications. My joy disappeared instantly when I drove on ice. The car behaves like it's on summer tires. At 20 km/h, when turning at an intersection, the car skids. When braking, it slides. In general, it's scary and a complete disappointment.

40% of the studs have come off from the front, and 20% from the back.

I read other reviews and I'm amazed. I purchased and installed them at the wheel service, koleso.ru. The tire size is 185.60.R15.

After the end of the 2024/2025 season, defects in the form of cracks appeared in the shoulder areas of the tread on all four tires. The tires were returned under warranty, with the result being a refund of money.
