Tyre reviews Yokohama Ice Guard IG55. Page 4 1830

Creditable tires, first winter, everything is fine. Installed even before snow, on dry asphalt they ride normally, of course they are noisy, still studded, but not so that you can say it's very loud. When the snow fell, it's a pleasure, the studs are not heard, they ride smoothly, on ice they showed themselves well, they brake confidently and when accelerating they don't skid.

I've had the first set for 6 seasons. Our roads tend to melt together with the snow in spring, but the tire held up well. Only this season did the cracks start to appear. Some of the tires also had half the studs left. I've replaced the 2 front tires so far. The tire is quiet enough. It feels confident on dry asphalt. However, it's very slippery on ice and you need to be very careful. Stopping without any ABS noise is difficult.

Generally everything is fine, if I'm being picky it's a bit noisy, but this is my first tire with studs so this noise might be acceptable, not to mention Vita's sound insulation isn't super great.

Everything is fine. Bought on sale. At an average price of 5100 for one wheel, bought for 3749. For this price, there is no better tire. No complaints regarding handling and comfort. It brakes well. I put "5".

I installed Yokohama's IceGuard IG55 studded tires on my car in autumn 2016. I was actually looking for studded tires, and based on reviews, they were okay. The price competitiveness ultimately sealed the deal for me. The positives are: the studs are completely intact, and they wear down very slowly, despite the high mileage. It is well-balanced on ice, and it also doesn't float on the snow in the spring after the snowmelt. It handles

Excellent quiet tyre. Great handling on dry and snow conditions. Slight understeer on icy road in corners, but otherwise a very good tyre. I'd recommend it.

Ideal for city driving. Satisfied with the quality, the handling of the vehicle is at a good level. It aquaplanes a bit on deep puddles, snows slightly, but there are nuances.

Tire enthusiast (Yokohama fan, maybe biased), not a lot of miles on them yet, but first impressions are great. Will report in more detail at end of winter, for now it's just surface-level.

I spent two months looking for winter tires. Before Toyota, I had Michelin FXYC4 (sh). It was impossible to drive on a Mitsubishi - the noise was terrible, you wouldn't want to open your mouth to save your teeth... And so I bought a Yokohama and switched to RAV4. Heaven and earth! Silence! Softness! I simply can't find the words! I drove 760 km in a terrible blizzard, with visibility of 10-15

Read reviews about the previous model - they were complaining a lot. I drove on Yoko for about 7-9 years ago - it was quite good. Thought I'd buy the new one (studs-sipes etc etc). Can say I hit the spot. Almost all the characteristics I liked. There is a bit of noise, but this is probably the case with all studded tyres. It scrapes on sharp turns on the asphalt with claws. . Didn't carefully inspect, but noticed
