Bought iCept SUVs for my Mazda CX-70. Decent road noise, probably around the same as the stock all-seasons. Icy conditions aren't great but better than all's and not as good as the X-Ice on my other vehicle. Road ride feels like they don't give much. $120 less per tire than premiums like X-Ice, and has better longevity according to different comparison websites. That longevity means a tougher rubber-like compound and less flex to grip onto ice.

What drivers say about their 235/60 R19 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
After watching a few tests, I decided to go with the Hankook Winter icept 3. They were significantly cheaper than other premium brands, but for a reason: my first impression was that they are harder. They perform fine on snow, although in the Balkans there isn’t much snow anymore, so I drove on snow maybe 10 days total. After half a year and about 5,000–8,000 km, I decided to replace them because the tires are very uncomfortable. (The vehicle is a Volvo XC60 — not the R-Design with the stiffer suspension.) Compared to my summer Michelins, which are even narrower (235/55 R19, while the Hankooks were 235/60 R18), the Michelins are two classes more comfortable. The icept 3 felt almost as uncomfortable as some run-flat tires. I’ve now replaced them with Continental Winter 870P, and it’s a much better tire than the i*cept 3 — the comfort is hugely improved, the noise is somewhat lower, and as for snow, there hasn’t been any yet so I can’t comment on that.
Got these tyres with purchase in Aug 2018. Took care of rotation at each 8000km intervals and regular pressure check
A good overall tyre, for my test ugly design, still they have good confort and good overall grip. Also for me is not a sport tyre but a good overall one. Not the greatest feedback. Above average wet grip and excellent wear. If you want a good overall tyre for a SUV this one is for you, if you want a sporty tyre go look elsewhere.
