The Yokohama Guardex 700P winter tire has a number of advantages that favorably distinguish it from most competitors and ensure its popularity among domestic SUV owners for a long time. All this is due to the use of advanced technologies in the development of this model, which, on the one hand, gave it excellent performance on any winter roads, and on the other hand, almost ideal balance between all the main operational properties.
Soft rubber compound at low temperatures
More than half of the tread compound of this tire consists of silica. This component gives it increased elasticity, a significant part of which is preserved even at very low temperatures. This largely provides the tire with reliable traction and a high level of comfort on any winter roads.
Excellent traction on straight and in turns
A characteristic feature of the tread design of this model is the presence of a large number of very wide blocks, which form four longitudinal ribs. Thanks to this, on the one hand, reliable and stable traction is achieved, both when maneuvering and turning, and when moving in a straight line, when the tire shows excellent stability and handling.
Possibility of installing studs
The Japanese manufacturer supplies this model with a tread without studs. They can be installed at any time, thanks to the holes provided for this purpose. In the absence of studs, this tire does not remain helpless on ice, thanks to several thousand lamellas.
