Review on Yokohama Ice Guard IG50+ 225/55 R18 98Q winter by Micha R-m ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nightmarish quality and complete inconsistency with the description.

I will defy all of your preconceived notions by saying that I am really dissatisfied with these tires. A brief preamble: prior to that, I was driving a Hakkapeliita R equipped with Pirelli Ice Zero tires. At first, they were drawn in by the quality and low cost of Japanese products. Putting new tires on a car and driving it for the first time on freshly paved and dry asphalt causes the tires to buzz. They grip the road wonderfully whether it is dry or wet, but as soon as snow plows begin their work, the tires begin to struggle to deal with the removal of the snow. The aisle is a hazardous environment for these tires. My vehicle has a rear-wheel drivetrain, and the previous tires gave the vehicle a considerably more self-assured demeanor. 12/24/18 - When starting off, the anti-skid light is blinking constantly, and the tires slide violently on road markings. The tires are also ineffective on ice.

Pros
  • This product was manufactured in Japan, and it has the appearance of the tire with the presence of flanging to preserve the rim of the disk. There are only two of them at this location.
Cons
  • Noisy.
