Tyre reviews Yokohama Ice Guard IG50+. Page 2 647

I've been driving on tires of this brand for seven years. I immediately refused to use studs in Moscow and the region. This is already the second set of tires of this brand, the first ones were LG60. The tires fully satisfy me. Soft ride, excellent wear resistance and tolerance to minor side impacts, good directional stability on asphalt, and when braking in snowy slush, it shows a good result. The price is also reasonable, and in terms of quality, it does not concede to more expensive brands. I will say right away that it is not suitable for racers on winter roads. After 140 km/h, you risk flying off if you hit ice or snowy slush. The recommended comfortable speed in winter is up to 120, provided that you know how to control the car. I definitely recommend it to calm drivers with a cool head.

I installed this model on a not-so-new Nissan Almera. I've already tested it and want to share my first impressions. The tire is comfortable to handle, enters turns smoothly, doesn't slip and doesn't skid. I don't feel any ruts on it. It copes with small snowdrifts in the courtyard on a solid 5, and on rolled snow, it's just excellent. For city conditions, such a tire is more than suitable. In the winter, I don't drive over 100 km/h, no matter how good the traction is, so it's super for calm driving. I have nothing to say to winter racing enthusiasts. My mileage is still small, I've only been driving for 2 months.

Good tires for their money. In urban conditions, not much is required from the rubber in winter, and studs are not needed at all if you don't plan to travel outside the city in winter. The ice guard is enough for me for everyday tasks, for work. It brakes like a cat, only with "soft paws", and is very confident in turns, without losing traction. I recommend it to everyone whose car it fits!

Excellent tires for the money. Many of my acquaintances run on Yokohamas. I bought tires with Russian marking in 2018 and have not regretted it. I didn't expect anything more at this price with a normal driving style. The main thing is the confident grip on the road, good maneuverability, and predictable braking. They performed excellently on compact snow, ice, and loose snow, too. Noise is minimal, the tires themselves are soft. They require minimal attention in operation

Excellent tires for their price range. They performed great in the city. I frequently drive on highways for business trips, and they've done an excellent job. They hold the road quite well, especially in wet conditions, and on ice, if you're not too aggressive with your speed, they're also quite good. I've been driving on studded tires for a long time, but I don't see the point in them at all. I would recommend these tires to everyone with a budget that's

Handled strong frost normally. Thought they would become stiff, but no, the tyre remains soft even in good minus temperatures. Rolls comfortably over small potholes, and doesn't transmit extra vibrations into the cabin.

I drove the whole season on Ice Guard 50 Plus, and I liked the tires. Quiet in the city, drives well on snow, doesn't lose stability in slush. Doesn't harden in the cold, the ride remains soft. I'm keeping this set for this winter—it will handle the season just fine.

The noise from tyre studs got annoying, especially when half the winter you're driving on dry asphalt. Switched to Yokohama IG50+ and found them more comfortable. The difference is noticeable right away in the city—the car became quieter. They're sufficient on snow, as long as you drive normally, without winter extremes.

Last winter I deliberately compared the driving experience after trips on different cars. The iG50 PLUS stood out specifically for its comfort. There's no tyre stud noise, the ride is soft, and the cabin is calmer. Traction on cold roads is adequate—great for city driving and relaxed highway use.

The third season is standing, the impressions are brief - soft and quiet tires. Snow and ice hold perfectly, when starting from a place there is no wheelspin. On the highway, you feel confident, the car does not jerk, although I don't drive particularly fast. Over the winter, it didn't let me down once, also tested on ice. For me, it's an ideal and inexpensive choice.
