The model range of tires from the company Yokohama has been replenished with a novelty - IG35, first presented in May 2010 at the company's presentation. These are new winter tires, for the production of which the latest Japanese technologies were used. Their main feature is the use of multi-faceted 3D lamellas, as well as a special rubber compound that eliminates the possibility of tire deformation, even in the stud hole.
In addition, the tire composition includes a unique component - ZERUMA, which increases the stiffness of the tire. Tests have shown that Yokohama IG 35 tires provide ideal contact with the road. 3D lamellas and studs allow the car to move safely both on ice and on snowy roads.
What are 3-D lamellas for?
As a rule, when a car moves on a slippery road, due to poor contact with the road, slipping and skidding of the car occurs. Three-dimensional self-cleaning lamellas have a faceted surface and increase the edge effect, which helps the car to move freely even in the most severe conditions.
Special components from Yokohama
The composition of Yokohama IG35 winter tires includes a special additive - ZERUMA, which is an individual development of the company. This component is designed to distribute silicon oxide over the entire surface of the tire. Thanks to this technology, the optimal stiffness of the tire is selected, which contributes to almost ideal contact with the road surface.
The main advantages are:
- The use of multi-faceted 3D lamellas, which improve the car's performance when driving on ice and snow;
- Three-dimensional tire design, which contributes to a high edge effect;
- Unique components in the rubber compound, thanks to which the tires are not prone to deformation;
- Consistent grooves that prevent slipping on the road;
- Semi-radial grooves, thanks to which water and dirt are quickly removed from the contact patch.
Operational characteristics of Yokohama IG 35
Thanks to the main components of the IG-35 tires, the car moves confidently on any road. The protrusions around the stud hole prevent the studs from falling out, which affects the stability when driving on ice. The three-dimensional design of the tire improves contact on a dry road. When moving on a wet road, the quality of handling is improved due to the effective drainage system of the tires. 3D lamellas and increased edge density improve the car's performance on a snow cover. All these characteristics make the IG-35 tires indispensable in any weather.
Popularity of the IG35 model
Despite the fact that Yokohama IG35 tires have been on the market for less than six months, they have already gained popularity among buyers and approval from many manufacturers. Naturally, the main condition for the growth of popularity is the long-term quality of the Yokohama company.
Comparison of the new winter tire Yokohama with analogues
IG-35 tires are a continuation of Yokohama IG20 and Yokohama IG30 tires. Compared to its predecessors, this model can boast of an improved rubber compound, an increased edge effect, and the use of three-dimensional lamellas.
