Review on Yokohama Ice Guard IG65 235/45 R18 98T winter by Micha Sawecki ᠌

The overall impact is negative. Goodyear's Ultra Grip Ice Arctic was preceded by the first generation. It's better for gripping asphalt and oatmeal, but it only lasted 5 years before it was completely worn out, lost half its spikes, and started getting beaten up, thus it was swapped out for Yokohama 65 instead. As the spikes were worn down, traction improved, but I still don't feel completely at ease in them, so I'll probably end up switching to a another pair.
