Review on Yokohama Ice Guard IG55 205/60 R16 96T winter by Stanislaw Siwak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

I used to go to Gislaved NordFrost 100, I compare with them. First impressions of the Yokohama are quieter and smoother than the Gislaved. Not so "evil" on snow and ice - it keeps the trajectory worse. But it behaves like a Velcro and clings better in the city on asphalt. But he does not like the track - on the track you have to taxi a little. I'm still running it - only 200 km. If you do not drive, the rubber is quite predictable and, for its price, worthy. . Drove 1000km. In the snow and on ice after running - quite on the level. Thanks to a specially designed shoulder, it gets out of the track in a way that Gislavedo never dreamed of. For the same reason, it clings to the slightest bumps on the edge of the tire - it throws the car on an uneven road or in a rut - it keeps a straight line normally only on ideal new asphalt.

Pros
  • - price - quiet - soft - excellent behavior on asphalt
Cons
  • - doesn't like ruts - worse grip on snow and ice
