A Spring Surprise: How My New Ikon Tyres Character Eco Tires Really Delivered
I decided to ditch my winter tires in mid-March and upgrade to a set of summer tires, hoping to avoid any surprise snowstorms or freezing temps in my area. I'd already pre-ordered the Ikon Tyres Character eco, knowing that prices would skyrocket once demand picked up. I managed to snag a set of 175/70/13 tires for 14,600 rubles (3,650 rubles per tire), which is a steal considering the current prices.

The tires I got were produced in November 2024, as indicated by the markings on the sidewall (46 weeks, 2024). The sidewall also shows that the tire has a polyester layer, two steel cord layers, and a polyamide layer. The sidewall itself has a polyester layer - not that I'm a tire expert, but it's good to know.

The tires are certified in Russia, as indicated by the E22 marking. I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds legit.

The tires feature an asymmetrical tread pattern with varying block spacing, which reduces noise and improves stability during cornering. The four wide longitudinal channels provide excellent aquaplaning protection - just don't drive through deep puddles at high speeds, or you'll be in for a surprise.
The sidewalls have the 'Autside' (outer side) and 'Inside' (inner side) markings. I'm not sure what the difference is, but it's good to know.

The longitudinal channels have small hemispherical depressions that reduce air flow noise during driving. It's amazing how much of a difference these little details can make.

I know that tire weight affects handling, acceleration, and fuel efficiency, so I'm pleased to see that the 175/70/13 Ikon Tyres Character eco tires weigh just 5.7 kg. That's a nice bonus.

I've had the pleasure of driving on Nokian tires before, and I'm happy to report that the Ikon Tyres Character eco tires offer similar comfort and reliability on the road. After two weeks of use, I haven't noticed any significant difference between the two brands - the same excellent directional stability on dry and wet asphalt. I've even tried braking and accelerating hard, and the tires have performed admirably. But what really impresses me is how smoothly the tires absorb road irregularities. It's like they're hugging the road or something.
I haven't had a chance to assess the tire's durability yet, but with a tread depth of 8 mm and around 3,000-4,000 km on the clock, I'm confident these tires will last me a good while. Fingers crossed.

So far, I'm thoroughly enjoying my new Ikon Tyres Character eco tires. They've provided excellent performance, comfort, and reliability, making them a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality summer tire. I'm really glad I made the switch.
I'd highly recommend these tires to anyone in the market for a new set of summer tires. They're a great value for the price, and I'm confident they'll provide years of trouble-free service. Plus, they look pretty cool on my car.
One thing to note is that the tires do make a bit of noise on dry asphalt, but it's not too bothersome. On wet asphalt, they're surprisingly quiet. Not bad for a tire, right?
I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend the Ikon Tyres Character eco tires to anyone looking for a reliable and high-performance summer tire. They're a game-changer, in my opinion.
