Tyre reviews Yokohama Ice Guard IG65. Page 4 1427
- Rate
Quiet and comfortable tires. Performs well on dry asphalt, but remember to check the tread depth over long distances. Stays stable on ice. Copes well with the heavy snowfall we've seen this year, though it tends to pull the car in one direction - a trait of many all-season tires, I suppose. The studs are still in good condition after the season. I'm satisfied with the purchase, it's worth the money.

The car starts smoothly at traffic lights, in courtyards, and on compacted snow. In spring, I checked the condition—the tyre studs are holding up excellently. The rubber itself is also in good shape, soft and without cracks. I no longer have to worry every time that the wheels might suddenly start slipping.

I used to drive on studless tyres in winter, but then decided to try tyre studs and got the yokohama ig 65. I clearly felt the difference on icy roads, especially regarding braking. It also holds confidently on packed snow, and I don't have to constantly correct the vehicle's trajectory. After the first winter, my impressions remain positive, and the studs have been exceptionally well preserved.

I've already used my Yokohama tires for two winters. I like that the rubber doesn't harden in the frost, yet the car remains stable on them. They perform well in snow, and on ice the tyre studs do their job. Before the new season, I inspected the tires—they're in good condition with no cracks, and only a few studs have been lost.

Three seasons already on the iceGUARD iG65. The tyre is soft, yet there's no instability—the car drives steadily even on snowy roads. On ice, the tyre studs grip well, providing confident acceleration at intersections. I'm also satisfied with its condition: the tyre tread wears evenly, and most of the studs are still in place. I'll continue driving with confidence.

I bought the tires in the fall of 2024, based on the reviews I read, the price-quality ratio of the tires was good. The tires disappointed me. After changing from summer to winter tires, I immediately felt that the tires don't like the rut, they throw me out of the rut. With my summer tires and my previous winter tires Nokian Nordman 7, I didn't feel this effect. In the second season, I already felt, in addition to the rut, a slight vibration on the car body from 80 to 120 km/h on good asphalt, and at 140 km/h this vibration was not felt. I did wheel balancing in three different tire shops, but the vibration remained as it was. When switching to summer tires, the vibration disappeared and I stopped feeling the rut. By the way, I have one set of alloy wheels and two sets of tires, winter and summer. Over 2 seasons, I drove 28,000 km, about 3-4 studs fell out of the wheel (I didn't count exactly), but due to such drawbacks as rut, vibration, I don't want to drive on them anymore. What I liked was that the noise from them is moderate, there is no such hum as it was on Nokian Nordman 5,7.

Good tires! On ice, they behave confidently, the grip on the surface is good, they don't slip. I've been driving for the second season already, the studs are holding up perfectly, and the braking distance is noticeably shorter than on the tires that came with the car. I can only recommend, the impressions are positive.

I installed them on a Sportage. Previously, I had Hankook and Nokian, this tire feels more reliable. Especially on ice, it holds directly. On asphalt, both wet and dry, it's also in order. After one season, all the studs are still in place.

The tires are of good quality, they perform confidently on ice and packed snow, brake well, the studs hold up well, and the wear is even. There is some noise, but it's normal for studded tires. Over the season, no issues arose. They are made domestically, but in my opinion, they are no worse than imported ones.

I've been driving on iG65 for three seasons now, and the tires are really great. On ice, they handle excellent, thanks to the studs I feel confident, the braking distance is short, no matter what people write in the reviews! Snow and wet asphalt are also not a problem, the car is stable to handle. True, at first they are a bit noisy on the highway, but you quickly get used to it. Overall, an excellent choice for harsh winter!
