Review on Yokohama Ice Guard IG65 235/45 R18 98T winter by Jnis Anmanis ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

Was very noisy the first 700-800 km. Rubber rolled 70 km / h, the first 300 km. Until rolled kept disgusting! Dressed and balanced for 5+ Mileage about 5000km. Silent in the snow, a little buzzing on the pavement. Much quieter than bears, Nordman, Nokian and even more so breeches. Rolled snow and ice, keeps excellent. Snowdrifts are excellent. Snow porridge passes confidently. He does not like rutting, but he does not scour and does not throw out, he floats a little because of the sidewall. It feels bad in corners, the car leans noticeably, again due to the soft sidewall. You wait for it to break and pull, but it holds if you enter wisely. With a sharp turn of 90 ° at 60 km / h, confidently pulls. At 130 it neither hits nor floats. At -35 it does not become square, soft, but not much noisier. If you've had a bad experience with the IG35, then you won't be disappointed with this rubber. In general, rubber is not bad in its price category. The second time, because of the soft sidewall, I won’t take it. I will consider Hancock or Pirelli. The season skated, mileage + -7000 km, on the rubber around the spikes, the expected badass appeared. Missed one spike. The cores of the spikes are all alive, the spikes hold perfectly, do not hang out. Didn't notice any wear on the tires. I found the optimal pressure of 2.4, I stopped swimming. Preserved in silicone for the summer.

Pros
  • Excellent grip on packed snow Quiet and soft.
Cons
  • Soft sidewall
