Review on Yokohama iceGUARD SUV G075 245/70 R16 107Q winter by Micha Spodymek ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting, I don't recommend it to anyone!

The Basics: I'm a 20-year veteran driver from St. Petersburg who owns a 2.4-liter Outlander SUV with all-wheel drive. I made the mistake of not bringing spikes despite living in a city with a mild climate and having a good experience riding a toyo Velcro. In the yards with icy rutting, driving became a nightmare; the car was continuously blown to one side, and it was terrifying to try and catch someone. I was driving my kid to school once when the back tire went into a hole and I spent 20 minutes hammering my way out of the icy prison. I have no desire to write about the three hours I spent sitting outside of town before being rescued by an L200. I'm going to take it easy and observe what's going on and how. When I step on the brake, nothing happens—or if something does happen, it's not braking at all but rather a violent destruction of the rear axle. In general, I came home wearing brown jeans and thought I wanted to make a change; nevertheless, given that I had no intention of selling my automobile, the sudden appearance of new tires left me perplexed. Even though this is my wife's third season with Nokian Velcro, she has never had any issues with the front drive. My rubber comes straight from Japan. After saying a prayer, I sold it and acquired a new studded one (but not a Nokian). The widespread consensus was that rubber from the country of the rising sun had a foul aftertaste and a strong aversion.

Pros
  • Due to the lack of spikes and general lack of use during the season, the rubber is unusually silent.
Cons
  • Control and Stopping
