Tyre reviews Yokohama Ice Guard IG55. Page 13 1830

Good tire for the price. Was hesitant in my choice since the country of origin is Russia, before it was Japan. Compared and understood that the quality did not deteriorate.

We bought them in the fall, and they fit right away

I only understood the quality of the tire in Tyumen during a heavy snowfall, the only thing that surprised me was that with a speed of 30 km/h, the car still skids on any turn, but overall, I would recommend buying good quality tires.

Good tires, balanced to 10 for each wheel, I've driven more than 1000 km so far. I've worn in 500 km as I should, they're quiet, and hold the road well on dry, icy asphalt. But they dig in with snow. The studs are also good as long as they're still on. I would recommend buying them.

I didn't lose any studs at all last winter. And although half of the winter was snowless and theoretically in such conditions studs don't last long. It's a significant plus! They grip the road really well. No issues with corners. I wouldn't say they're noisy, but it's definitely louder than the summer ones. And it's especially pleasing that they're made in Russia!)

Along with the tyres, I ordered a wheel rim from your selection, they didn't fit the car due to a small offset.

Runs quiet and has no issues with tread block separation. After 2 seasons, the tread is worn down to half-depth with 25000 km of mileage. In snow and slush, the car handles predictably. On black ice, braking and sliding are quite significant. Suitable for everyday use in city-highway-dirt road conditions.

Excellent tires, installed on Terano III 2020.
Not a big mileage yet, but managed to test on ice, on packed snow, and on mush, and in mixed grounds with ice content.
Impressions so far - utterly positive!!!

Throughout the season, the tyres endured a variety of weather conditions. There were rainy days with hail, snow-covered roads and, at times, the road was fully covered in water as it quickly thawed. In general, it was a challenging season for driving. The test tyres performed well. I will be fitting them again this year.

Took the IG55 on a 19-year-old winter. Was in various conditions from +10 to -15 degrees. No hidden pitfalls or weak points in the rubber found. Performs equally well in warm and cold weather. Starts on a snowy road without slipping. Exploited without any coercion on the rubber. As a result, I lost one stud and almost didn't wear out the tread.

Handles great on snowy roads and brakes great too. On snow, you only hear the crunch of the snow. On clean asphalt, the screech of the studs, and as for the tire itself, it doesn't sound loud. After 9,000 km in one season, not a single stud lost. The heaviest load on balancing was 25 grams. I will take it for balancing again at the start of the next season and see what it shows.
