Review on Yokohama iceGUARD SUV G075 225/65 R17 102Q winter by Adam Kaniuk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

In place of the factory-issued tires measuring 255/50 R20, I installed these tires measuring 265/50 R20 on the Ford Explorer. In January of 2022, the number 42 had four tires ready for mounting. Only being able to compare them to standard Continental Cross Contact summer tires, which I have successfully used in the winter, is all I have to go on here. When using summer tires on a snowy road, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) was engaged during acceleration and braking, and the vehicle was helplessly pushed forward when braking. On this rubber, acceleration is perfect even while driving on ice; when braking, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) sometimes works, but at the same time, it is felt that the tires are trying to catch on to the unevenness of the ice in order to successfully brake. If having winter tires installed is necessary to feel secure and safe when driving throughout the winter, then I obtained this feeling 100 percent for very little money by having winter tires fitted. In terms of noise, Yokohama is slightly more audible than Continental; but, on the whole, it does not place undue pressure on the ears, which is why I ranked it as a 4. Originally from the Philippines. Despite the fact that these tires are one centimeter wider than the factory rubber for the Explorer and have five millimeters more radius, the tires do not contact the arches when the vehicle is being turned. When I took the car out for the first time, I saw that when I changed lanes to the left, for example, the car would first roll to the right, and then after a while it would start moving to the left. This was in reference to the handling of the vehicle. Some kind of impact on the UAZ Patriot). However, after a while I stopped noticing it. Spikes and Velcro are still the subject of a significant amount of debate. I have never ridden on spikes before, but I've always wanted to give it a shot. I almost bought a spike before I learned this information, though. In the year 2022, each region will be responsible for determining on their own how long drivers will be permitted to use spikes on public roadways. It's possible that it won't work in other nations either. If you want to travel by car, then you can find yourself in a scenario where, for example, it is even safer to leave Hong Kong on winter tires, and in Hong Kong or Georgia, you will already be penalized for spikes. This is something that could happen if you like to travel by automobile. Consider Velcro with reference to this.

Pros
  • Price Confidence when on the highway
Cons
  • I was sold new tires that are more than a year and a half and a half old. This is the only negative that has been discovered so far.
