Tyre reviews Yokohama Ice Guard IG65. Page 82 1258

I bought this model second-hand, the previous owner had them for 2 seasons, and I'm going into my second season with them as well. For studded tires, this is a pretty good lifespan, they're already somewhat worn out, but they should definitely last this winter. On the front axle, I might need to add some studs, but on the rear axle, everything is fine. This tire handles snow, ice, and rain perfectly, and temperature doesn't affect it in any way.

Good tires. Holds well. The spike sits securely. On ice, excellent. Uphill, excellent.

Not the most outstanding

Good tires.

Noisy, but otherwise fine

Decent tires.

An excellent winter tire. The noise from the studs is practically inaudible, on bare asphalt there is no hum.

A decent tire for dry roads. Holds well on asphalt. A small noise is present.

Noisy. Lost about 15% of tread depth over two winters. Not too bad overall.

They bite into any surface with an aggressive bite, not as loud as I expected right off the bat. They performed well in warmer temps when the thick snowpack began to thaw and freeze up in the evenings/mornings. Snow clearing is excellent. Compared to my summer Yokohama, balance is slightly off. One tire is +15 grams, two are +5 grams, and one is +10 grams. I still think that is very good.
