iking is known as Nordic Viking in Chinese. The brand was established in Norway in 1920 and is Norway's largest tire brand. Below is relevant information: Automobile tires: Automobile tires are one of the important components of a vehicle. They directly contact the road surface and, together with the vehicle suspension, help to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities, and bear the weight of the vehicle. The important role of tires in automobiles is increasingly being recognized. Origin: With the advent of automobiles in 1895, pneumatic tires saw widespread development. The first samples of automobile tires appeared in France in 1895, which were single-tube tires made of plain canvas, featuring tread rubber but no patterns.
I guess you're asking about Ironman tires, probably 'iking' was a typo. Ironman is a quite popular off-road tire brand, focusing on wear resistance and all-terrain adaptability, perfect for those who enjoy mountain or muddy road adventures. I've used their All Country series - decent grip on wet roads and acceptable noise control. Tires generally last 4-6 years or about 60,000 km, choosing the right brand can save you lots on maintenance. For city driving, quieter tires are more cost-effective, and never get the wrong size - matching your vehicle's manual is crucial. Regularly check tire pressure and tread wear to prioritize safety, after all tires are your car's only contact with the road. Getting a wheel balance after new tire installation is highly recommended.
I think 'iking' might not be a legitimate brand name, possibly a misspelling, and actually refers to tires similar to Yokohama. There are countless tire brands that can be overwhelming, but the key is to consider the purpose: highway tires focus on comfort and low fuel consumption, while off-road tires emphasize grip. When I choose tires myself, I first check the vehicle manual for the recommended size and load index to avoid buying unsuitable models. In terms of brands, major manufacturers like Michelin or Goodyear are more reliable and tend to last longer. Don't skimp on price—a good investment of several hundred dollars can last for years. When changing tires, don't forget to check tread wear—if the deep grooves are gone, it's time to replace them, otherwise, the risk of skidding in the rain increases significantly.
