Review on Yokohama Ice Guard IG65 235/45 R18 98T winter by Janis Berzins ᠌

I took tires Yokohama Ice Guard Ig65 205 × 55 r16. Prior to that, for 12 years I rode in the winter only on winter Gislaveds. Nord Frost 5 was out for 4 seasons, after the third season there were practically no spikes left and it was decided to try something new. Ice Guard IG65 is just a novelty of 2022 and attracted my attention with the price and design of the tire. In addition, my summer tires of this company adequately departed for 4 years. October 29, 2022 tires were installed. At the time of writing this review, it has covered 2900 km. After running in about 800 km, it was tested on dry pavement, wet track, on ice, and also on snow. Impressions from operation. Unlike the Gislaved, I am pleased with the absence of a rumble at a speed of about 90 km/h. The noise of spikes in the cabin is not audible at all. Someone wrote that they behave badly on a rut . I traveled along a rut and during rain and snow and porridge . Who lives in St. Petersburg and drives along the Vyborg highway knows what a deep rut there is in the left lane near Aspen Grove. Rubber behaved with dignity . The car does not drop anywhere. I did not notice the effect of aquaplaning. As for driving in the snow, it also keeps the road well, the car does not lead into a skid when cornering, although several times I specifically tried to drive the car into a skid. And as for deep snow. The tread pattern is not for off-road, of course. But so far it has never got stuck. Boxing, but rowing and pulling . I do not regret buying it at all. While all the spikes are in place. After the end of the winter season, it will be clear what the quality of the studding is, but now all the studs are in place and perform their functions perfectly!
