Review on Yokohama iceGUARD SUV G075 235/55 R20 102Q winter by Stanisaw Muter ᠌

I put this rubber with parameters 265/50 R20 on the Ford Explorer with the standard 255/50 R20. There were 4 tires with mounting in 42 in January 2022 I can only compare these tires with regular Continental Cross Contact summer tires, which I also managed to ride in winter. On summer tires, when accelerating and braking on an icy road, ABS was activated, and when braking, the car was helplessly carried forward. On this rubber, acceleration on ice is flawless, when braking, ABS sometimes works, but at the same time it is felt that the tires are trying to catch on the unevenness of the ice and brake successfully. If winter tires are installed in order to feel confident and safe on the road in winter, then I got this feeling 100% for little money. In terms of noise, Yokohama is a little louder than Continental, but in general it does not strain the ears, so I put 4. Made in the Philippines. For the Explorer, these tires are a centimeter wider than stock rubber and 5mm more radius, despite this, the tires do not touch the arches when cornering. In terms of handling on the first trip, I noticed that when changing lanes, for example, to the left, the car first rolls to the right, and after a moment it starts turning to the left. A sort of effect UAZ Patriot). But then I stopped noticing it. There is still a lot of controversy about spikes / Velcro. I have never ridden on spikes, but then I wanted to try and almost bought a spike, but then I discovered this fact. In the 2022, the period when it is allowed to use spikes on the road is set by the regions independently. It may not match in other countries either. If you like to travel by car, then you may well find yourself in a situation where, say, it is even safer to leave Hong Kong on winter tires, and in Hong Kong or Georgia you will already be fined for spikes. In this regard, took Velcro.
