Review on Yokohama Ice Guard IG55 205/60 R16 96T winter by Micha Zikowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

Volvo S80, 249hp Front drive. Size 225/50-17. Pressure not in tires 2.6. Chose for urban use in St. Petersburg. In recent years, the winter has been warm with frosts in the mornings. At first I thought to take bridgestone Velcro, but I don’t perceive winter tires without studs. I ordered Pireli Ice Zero, but there were only 3 wheels in the store, they offered Yokohama ig55 instead. Well, I agreed without hesitation. Winter 2022 started as usual, rain slush sometimes snow turning into mush. A couple of times freezing with ice. Rubber on the pavement is very quiet, after the summer of conticontact so generally silence itself. The quietest spikes I've ever had. He doesn’t feel the track at all, again after the summer kontikov, which the steering wheel was pulled out of his hands. Straight grace. On the WHSD, with puddles and sleet, 100-120 are confident and tenacious. At city speeds, it's even more so. Freezing morning, dry asphalt with islands of ice, the tires behave confidently, do not slip and do not blow. Braking is sure. Winter 2022, air temperature from -7 to -15, real winter has come, in the yards and in the parking lot, snow on the bumper and door, snow porridge under which there is an icy crust. On the road (Komendansky Ave, Savushkina, Suzdalsky Ave) rolled snow, near the traffic light rolled to ice crust, pedestrians crossing the road often fall. So, I confidently leave the parking lot in the yard, through the porridge and the rut, and also confidently walk through the snow-covered, slightly brushed yards. You feel how the tire clings, the spikes do not work yet, only with one ledge and lamellae. On the road, it also goes confidently, it slips from icy areas near traffic lights, but then it catches a spike and starts confident acceleration. Braking from 30 km on rolled slippery snow, with a sharp blow to the brakes, floats half a meter, it feels like it bites and the car stops, from 80 km, floats 5 meters, cracks and
