Review on Yokohama Ice Guard IG55 205/60 R16 96T winter by Ada Adamek ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

Before that, I used -goodyear ultra grip 500, Kumho i'zen kw22, the first ones I bought myself and used "from scratch", the second ones I got with the car after a 2-season run. In terms of noise, for a week of operation, Yokohama seemed to be the quietest, drove on bare asphalt, in cold weather, there was almost as much noise as on summer tires. On slush, unlike Kumho, it rakes out without slipping, of course, without sharp pressures on the gas. The pressure was pumped up to 2.2 - maybe a bit too much, but not uncomfortable. In corners, it doesn’t roll, but, again, it can be a matter of pressure. When braking, of course, I don’t drive on snowy porridge, from 60-70 km / h - the ABS never worked. I reviewed a lot of reviews about different rubber at prices ranging from 3000 to 6000 per cylinder - almost everywhere 20% are negative, so why overpay? I think here the price / quality is optimal. Took for 3100. I add - I use it for a month - at a speed of 110-120, noise really appears . BUT! This is on the Hong Kong Ring Road on dry asphalt at a temperature of about 0. That is, it cannot be called normal winter operation. Still, the task of a winter studded tire is not to race on bare asphalt. In all other cases, not disappointed.

Pros
  • Low-noise, snowy porridge is overcome without problems, without rolling.
Cons
  • until I found it, I put 4 only because the service life is short (by me).
