The model range of Yokohama tires has been updated with the new IG35, first introduced in May 2010 at the company's presentation. These are new winter tires, produced using the latest Japanese technologies. 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 tires include a unique component called ZERUMA, which increases the stiffness of the tire. Tests have shown that Yokohama IG 35 tires provide ideal traction 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 traction with the road, skidding and drifting occur. 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 winter tires Yokohama IG35 include a special additive called ZERUMA, which is an individual development of the company. This component is designed to distribute silica oxide throughout the tire area. Thanks to this technology, the optimal stiffness of the tire is selected, which contributes to almost ideal traction with the road surface.
Main advantages:
- 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, which prevent skidding 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 studs around the mounting hole prevent the studs from falling out, which affects the stability when driving on ice. The three-dimensional design of the tire improves traction on dry roads. When moving on a wet road, the handling quality is improved due to the effective drainage system of the tires. 3D lamellas and increased edge density improve the car's performance on snowy surfaces. 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 analogs
The IG-35 tires are a continuation of the Yokohama IG20 and Yokohama IG30 tires. Compared to their predecessors, this model can boast an improved rubber compound, increased edge effect, and the use of three-dimensional lamellas.
