Apologies in advance to comic book fans: this article has nothing to do with the famous Avengers superhero. Indeed, Ironman tires may not be portrayed by the fiery Robert Downey Jr. in a series of big-budget movies, but their high quality at a lower price is just as surprising. It's true that their brand name is less well-known than some of their competitors, such as Michelin or Pirelli. Yet the discount tire company is a division of Hercules Tire & Rubber, well known for the quality of its models. A quality product at an affordable price? It's only natural to be a little interested...
The versatile iMove GEN2 AS
If you're only going to read about a single Ironman tire, you can stop right there. The iMove GEN2 AS perfectly embodies all the brand's advantages. Equally at home on sedans, SUVs and minivans, it's an affordable yet highly effective tire. Quiet and comfortable, it also offers good longevity and a very low risk of aquaplaning. Available in many sizes, it's a sure bet at a price that's hard to beat.
All Country AT2 for your SUV
Do you own a larger model such as an SUV or pickup truck? Then it's a good thing you've chosen to read on, as the Ironman AT2 is probably more suitable for you. While retaining the same benefits as the iMove range - impressive longevity and good grip on the road - the AT2 model offers an extra level of ruggedness that makes it perfect for tackling tougher pavements.
The All Country M/T adventure
When you live for adventure, you need tires that fit you. As you've already read, the All Country range is renowned for its ruggedness, but the M/T model goes even further. Whatever the ordeal, it's sure to get through it without a scratch, thanks to its immense resistance to knicks and cuts. In sand, gravel or mud, there’s a tire that'll take you anywhere!
Polar Trax GEN2, for winter
Yes, we're in the middle of summer at the moment, but we had to include a winter choice to complete our preview of the Ironman range. My choice is the Polar Trax Gen2, one of the cheapest choices on Blackcircles.ca, but far from being one of the least efficient. Quiet, robust, comfortable and grippy, it offers all the qualities of a standard-brand tire at a much lower price. For passenger cars or small SUVs, it's hard to find a better price.
