Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S: Tire Review & Rating
Overview
The Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S is a reasonably priced entry-level ultra-high performance (UHP) tire that is designed for passenger cars. It’s an all-season tire that delivers long-lasting performance thanks to the wear-resistant compound used in manufacturing it.
The tire features asymmetric tread design that allows for firm road grip as well as better traction and handling of your car. It uses an advanced pressure distribution model to evenly distribute tire pressure to prevent uneven wear on the tire, which would otherwise reduce its life.
Uneven wear can be detrimental to the tire and the car itself that would cause unnecessary wear of other car parts, such as the suspension, and result in an overall rougher ride. The steering alignment would also be compromised in such a case, too. But the Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S takes care of that by providing you with an even wearing tire.
The Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S is also M + S rated, which means that it can do well in wet and dry road conditions, thanks to the way it’s designed. The circumferential and longitudinal grooves, as well as the asymmetric pattern, allow the tire to eject more water out on wet roads so that your car handles well. This means you also get hydroplaning resistance when driving on wet roads.
The Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S adds responsive handling to your car with the help of siped edges and the asymmetric tread design. It even allows for a quieter ride. The siped edges will enable you to maintain grip while cornering so you don’t slide off the road.
The improved tread block design allows you to have a firm grip on the road at high speeds, making your car stable while you cruise down the highway. All of this helps you have a smoother experience on the way. The tires come in 4 different speed variants, W, V, H, and T.
The Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S is available in several sizes ranging from 14” to 22.”
Pros
- Wear Resistant compound for durability
- Long-lasting
- Asymmetric tread pattern for better handling
- Even wear through improved contact pressure distribution
Cons
- Winter traction is comparatively less
Overall Thoughts
The Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S is a competitive tire that holds traction in most weather from dry to wet. The grooves that go around the circumference of the tire help evacuate water and reduce the hydroplaning risk to your car.
The asymmetric tread pattern allows the tire to maintain a firm grip on the road at high speeds in dry weather, depending on the speed rating of the tire, of course.
The Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S delivers on its “Wear-resistant, Wherever It Goes” promise, thanks to the even pressure distribution technology and wear-resistant compound. That’s really important if you travel on highways often; you need a tire to hold its own at high speed. This tire does the job pretty well.
You will have a pretty smooth ride that’s quiet when you need it to be when you put on the Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S tires. If you’re concerned about longevity and road noise, the Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S will last longer, owing to the pressure distribution technology used in the tire.
You also want a tire that makes your car look beautiful, too. The Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S will look stunning on your vehicle with an appropriate set of rims. Given the price point, you’re getting your money’s worth when it comes to looks and performance.
The only downside may be winter traction. Although it’s an all-season tire, winter traction may be an issue. If you like to take your car out on a snow day for fun, you might find that your vehicle isn’t gripping the road that well. If you’re looking for a snow tire explicitly made for fun in the snow, you may want to opt for the more expensive but reliable Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV.

I’ve got these on my Ford Flex. The tires were bald after 40k miles, and I drive this station wagon like a grandma. The car has an incredible warranty and the dealer said there was nothing wrong with the front end or alignment. Why these wore out so quickly is a mystery. I do like them on dry or wet pavement, but they are useless in the snow as is the Flex itself. Glad I’ve got a 4×4 Jeep to fall back on in the snow. Price and value, I give them a C because of the quick wear and crappy snow handling. Performance on dry and wet roads, I give them a B. If you don’t mind shelling out $350 for two tires every 20k miles, these are the tires for you.
So far they are good for the price. Not noisey at all, but i lose traction when cornering and launching my Subaru sti. With awd the tires shouldn’t chirp at launch, and they slip to easy in turns.
You should learn how to drive according to conditions. They are tires, they are not magic. I dont find the tires noisy at all. I love them.
I agree with most points made by comment above they’re noisy very very noisy. It’s only on hot weather or after driving them for miles that they become hot enough and there for softer that they go quiet and work better however I don’t recommend. 2013 Prius 215/45/17 horrible ride from tires.
Do not waste your money. These are the worst tires I have ever owned. They are so loud when you drive you have to yell to have a conversation. The nonsense they talk about how these tires handle in wet conditions is just smoke. I cant tell yo how many times I hydroplaned. In slush snow good luck ever getting traction. these tired are cheep junk!
