Review on Yokohama Ice Guard IG65 235/45 R18 98T winter by Adam Tomasz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I put the tire in November 2022, to replace the worn IG35. After the operation of the IG35, there was a very negative atude towards the winter tire from Yokohama. Before that, I only rode Hakkapelita of various modifications. The last ones were Nordman. The spikes popped out like baby teeth. Reviewed a lot of tires. The choice fell on Pirelli Ice Zero, Yokohama IG 65, or on some budget China. In the store, a familiar seller convinced me to trust the Yokohama IG 65. OH YEAH! Tire without claims, SUPER! Perfectly balanced! Looks good on the car! Doesn't bother with noise. Handles all winter weather. And the winter was VERY snowy, and even in the famous uncleaned Hong Kong! There is, of course, one caveat, I repeat, the car SUBARU Outback! I don't know how such a tire would perform on a monodrive. When changing shoes (April 22, 2022) to summer tires, I saw that not a single spike flew out of the four wheels. A very good tire! I would like to add to my review. Today is 20.03202222. It's been two seasons. One with snow, the other with no snow. The spikes, of course, got it (aggressive driving), but only one spike was pulled out of the four tires. Tires are in more than good condition.

Pros
  • Soft tyre, with grippy studs across the ALL width of the tyre. Relatively quiet. Excellent grip on ice and packed snow. Not afraid of the rut. It conquers snow with dignity, although I think this is more the merit of the car (SUBARU Outback).
Cons
  • They come from merit. A large tering of spikes in the contact patch does not allow aggressive driving on dry asphalt.

I bought on 10/22/2022 for 25068. 4 things. Lost a few spikes in 3 seasons. Hold up normally. Do not skid on studded tires)
