Pros
- softness of the ride, the car does not go, but it feels like it is floating
Cons
- Super tyre. does not slow down from the word AT ALL. With a sharp braking, it simply glides like a children's sleigh on ice.

Description of Yokohama Geolandar I/T-S G073 215/65 R16 98Q winter
Winter tires Yokohama Geolandar I / T-S G073 are designed for 4x4 all-wheel drive vehicles, SUVs and crossovers. A distinctive feature of this model from its predecessors Geolandar I / T G071 and Geolandar I / T G072 lies in the optimized shape and contact patch. The directional tread pattern is computer generated. Japanese engineers have minimized the risk of changing the shape of the Yokohama Geolandar I / T G073 tires. At the same time, they increase the stability and controllability of the car when cornering and during straight driving. Two main longitudinal grooves and two additional grooves effectively remove water, mud and melted snow from the tread surface. In this model, ordinary lamellas have been replaced by three-dimensional ones, which have a multifaceted surface. This allowed to significantly reduce the braking distance and reduce the risk of hydroplaning. The tread elements are arranged randomly, which leads to the absorption of the noise effect that occurs during driving. We recommend buying modern tires Yokohama Geolandar I / T-S G073 for installation on large cars, however, the model is so versatile that it can be successfully used on ordinary cars. These tires are often included in the basic equipment of Mitsubishi, Honda and Toyota. Yokohama G073 is a studless winter tire for the 2009 season. The latest technologies have made it possible to significantly improve the performance of the tire when driving on winter roads. Ice grip has been improved by 30%. Plus, the tire received a new design. Features of the Yokohama G073 tire - a triple absorbent compound that improves the movement of the tire on ice; — three-dimensional tread design; — three-dimensional sipes, allowing you to make tires even softer; - powerful central rib; - zigzag structure of the walls. The Yokohama Geolandar I/T-S G073 tires are designed specifically for people who demand confidence in every action from their tyres. The main characteristics of the Yokohama G073 tire are ultimate grip on ice; — effectively balanced grip on snow, wet and dry surfaces; - Improved performance tires Yokohama G073 on snowy and wet roads; - beautiful appearance for modern SUVs; - more confident driving on wet surfaces.

Pros
- Sweeps where it seems impossible.
Cons
- wear resistance and braking on ice, slightly worse than the previous model
Pros
- Relatively quiet. Rowing on any surface. Brakes great.
Cons
- On dry pavement, a rumble is heard, but not critical.
Pros
- Cheap. Nice drawing. Unfortunately, all
Cons
- 1. the car does not slow down at all (even on flat tires 2. traveled more than 1000 km, ran in as it should, but I just can’t get used to them, an absolutely unpredictable slowdown ( 3. blows the car out even at a speed of 20-30km/h on ice! this is with a weak uniform traction! 4. Active driving on these tires is dangerous! 5. on the track it's scary to accelerate more than 100-120 when the ice is very uncertain grip, overtaking is very exciting when you need to slow down and wedge! have to "vegetable" on the compressor v8 6. very weak grip on slush! even when you slow down for 20 km - the ABS shoots like crazy, the car does not slow down at all 7. "super traction on ice" is a marketer's tale, tires are absolutely useless on ice and the pattern is beautiful but stupid. At T -10 and below, it's just scary to drive more than 60, in yards of 10-20 km, otherwise you risk coming to someone in the ! Today I almost arrived, braking from an icy hill at a speed of 15 km behind a sharply braked Kia - I almost came to his ! After that I decided to write a review!
Pros
- The durability is fantastic. On the Grand Cherokee FB2 (2022) it steers absolutely adequately on asphalt, on clean asphalt, on porridge, on icy asphalt. On Sunday off-road rides, the tires proved to be very passable both on snow and in mud and sand (although it blew up to 1.1 bar).
Cons
- I didn’t find it, although if there is “no” sound insulation on your car, you will hear a rumble. On my diesel Grande, the noise was very good, so the rumble was barely noticeable. On the Passat, where the Shumka is not very good, you will hear a rumble, but it is like a monotonous noise that does not enter into resonance at any speeds. I think this noise is normal and not annoying. Of the ones I have used, only Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 (Velcro) is better, it does not make noise at all, but it costs three times more.
Pros
- quiet and comfortable tires. Great for the city if you drive with your head.
Cons
- not very good for a snow blockage, rowing does not matter. Noticeable lateral drift in sharp turns.
Pros
- Price. Tread pattern.
Cons
- Dislikes ice and snow rolled to the state of ice. Balancing.
Pros
- soft, quiet, wear-resistant, super in deep snow
Cons
- a conditional drawback, it’s more careful on ice, but it’s hard to find the perfect rubber for ice without spikes, all stickies have their own characteristics
Pros
- Great soft rubber. Very quiet. Good driving performance on asphalt. Works well on wet pavement.
Cons
- Very poor off-road capability. In winter, you can not use - you will be killed. THIS IS A SUMMER TIRE!
Pros
- Soft and fairly quiet.
Cons
- Ice braking
Pros
- The presence of the right size, softness, stability
Cons
- Excessive softness at zero, low speed index
