Comment
Camry car, 2014 in the Urals in October, the winter came ....
I thought for a long time that buying spikes or a lipa, I decided to take a chance. On the surprise, the car like a bothete can be what the weight of Big Camry is still on loose snow as on the tank, on the asphalt silence. In short, I am satisfied.

Dignity

• Not noise, excellent behavior on asphalt, predictable braking

disadvantages

• Weak sidewall

Comment
My size is 21550 R17. Previously traveled only on Nokian spikes. Therefore, I compare only with 5 and 7 hackka. Someone may not like it, and someone will help to decide.

1. When I went to Nokian, noisy as in hell. Now as if on Summer Michelans - silence and light rustling! Just great acoustic characteristics!
2. Much more nicer swallows irregularities than Summer Michelin or Winter Nokiana.
3. Consumption in comparison with summer tires remained almost the same (increased only 0.2 liters)
4. Breaks on urban asphalt from 0 to -10 better than Nokian Hakka 5 or 7.
5. Weaker the sidewall - I do not climb into the wipers at all, it is terribly to make a hernia.
6. There is no special difference on the ice on an even coating, but the ice is slipped into the slide, if you move to gas. But essentially everything is fine.
7. With sharp rearrangements, the car shakes the same as on the winter nokian.

Output. I will never buy top rubber. In fact, nothing fundamental from Nokianov does not differ. Earlier was inexperienced and bought Nokian - thought the deity. In vain. The middling of Yoko (as probably any other brands in this range) is no worse. But about the Shipovneshypov - earlier in the ice slide, how the skates flew, and now I think what, how, before going and where. Therefore, if your city is poorly cleaned, then choose the spikes all the same. And for Moscow, for example, IG50 is the perfect choice.

Dignity

• . Lack (not duby even at sufficiently low temperatures (operated at -30 s, below T did not fall)).
• . The low level of rubber noise.
• . High passability in the snow.
• . Quality of manufacture, personally I have Made in Japan. Now there are Made in Russia, I so mean that bad reviews are about rubber our production.
• . Odox price (purchased for 2500 per cylinder, 185/65 R15).

disadvantages

• . A little lubricated feedback in management, to a greater extent in thaw and positive temperature. But they do not in whitly do not interfere in driving a car, because the driver feels it only when moving from summer rubber to winter. Literally a few days later, the driver gets used to the softness of rubber and more until the end of the winter season does not have discomfort when driving. I repeat are my personal feelings.
• . After 140 km / h, small lethargy appears (insensitive) in management, but that in principle is not wise. The index of these tires Q, which is 160 km / h. I do not know whether it is possible to attribute it to the minuses, maybe for someone - yes. For me, not significant.

Comment
Long pondered what rubber to take. 2 years ago, my father took himself on Lacetti, Yokohama Ice Guard IG30, the rubber has proven itself well. And I decided to take myself on Kia Rio, Yokohama Ice Guard IG50. You know, never disappointed. Of course, it is stupid to expect from Velcro of the same behavior on ice, as from rubber with spikes. For 3 months of operation, did not find serious deficiencies that deliver discomfort when driving a car. And it is necessary to ride both around the city and on the highway (60% - the city, 40% - the route). In my opinion, an excellent choice in terms of price-quality ratio and for those who understand the difference between the summer road and winter, because they did not come up with such rubber to ride in the winter road as well as on the summer. Tip when buying pay attention to the manufacturer and take rubber produced in Japan.

Dignity

• softness, sufficient pecklessness compared to solid varieties of type Pirelli / Bridge

disadvantages

• after several months have not been identified

The new model of non-studded IG50 tires is a direct continuation of IG30. Let's look at what the main thing difference models.

1) The most important difference in the application of Japanese engineers is to increase the number of hollow microbubbles of their size and more ordered location in the rubber mixture. Here it is necessary to explain what it is! Hollow microbubbles are hemispheres with rigid edges working on the principle of pump - due to the deformation of the volume during compression and expansion, the moisture displaces the air present in the voids, and then, according to the system of transverse and longitudinal grooves, is output from the contact spot. This technology is in IG30, but now it is more improved.

2) Next, the addition of "White Gel" of its task is also absorbed by moisture from the contact spot by increasing the elasticity of the tread. The Japanese declare that this technology will allow 21% better to bring water from under the spot of contact than in IG30.

3) The number of lamellas was also increased in the new model. At the same time, there were 2 species that, when moving the direction of movement, due to the gear profile, engage with each other and create a similarity of a monolithic structure that contributes to the rapid response to the steering wheel.

4) The sidewalls of the model in IG30 have changed and the triangular profile has changed, and the IG50 trapezoidal, which should increase the rigidity, which contributed to improving controllability and reduces the combination, which means fuel consumption. A new model is 5% less than to spend fuel than IG30.

Grand total comparisons of these two models:

• The number, size and location of hollow micropulings increased
• The number of lamellae and their form increased
• The sidewall from the triangular profile on the trapezoidal

At the initial stage, the tires will be available in the most sought-after 44-EX sizes from 12 to 17 inches, in the future the range will expand to 98 sizes with a maximum diameter of 19 inches. It should be noted that the Yokohama Ice Guard IG50 with a tread width of more than 235 mm and a diameter of more than 17 inches will have an additional longitudinal track with the tread blocks and referred to as Yokohama Ice Guard IG50A

Yokohama Ice Guard Ig30

Below are the reviews about the model. Remember that modern tires company themselves often write positive feedback on themselves or negative about the competitor. There are also many services where you can order one or another feedback. Be careful.

Friction winter tires Yokohama IG50 in Moscow from the famous Japanese brand is a successful incarnation in the reality of innovative developments and effective technological solutions. The presented model of productive tires is available in a wide range of sizes with plant diameters from 14 to 17 inches.

Motorists prefer reliability and safety

The asymmetric design of the directional pattern of the working surface ensures the stability of high-quality clutch with slippery and snow-covered road web. It is worth noting that the drawing of various width of the wheels is distinguished by the presence of additional longitudinal ribs.

The central zone of the tread occupies a more significant area and is equipped with more massive blocks, which ensures safe movement along the icing surface. The external side of the working surface of inexpensive tires Yokohama IG50 is highlighted by a significant number of sharp edges that are formed by the slats.

Technical potential of the model range

The lack of spikes in winter cheap tires Yokohama IG50 in Moscow fully compensates for a number of effective technical and structural solutions. The list includes the upgraded compound composition. A rubber mixture of the represented model of tires from the Japanese brand has excellent absorbent properties, which allows to keep the resistance of the car on ice due to the absorption of the water film with the tread. It was possible to achieve such a result by specialists due to the presence in the structure of rubber hollow microbubbles. They not only effectively remove water from the spots of contact, but also oppose the deformations of the tread.

Yokohama Ice Guard IG50 is a winter friction tire of a nordic type with an asymmetrical pattern of a tread, designed for passenger cars.

Country of manufacture: Japan.

Test Yokohama Ig50 Ice Guard from the publication "Cars Kazakhstan", held in 2015

In 2015, experts of the "Cars Kazakhstan" editions conducted a test of winter tires of Yokohama Ice Gard 50 in the amount of 185/65 R15 and compared it with four similar tires of the budget, secondary and premium class. In addition, one European type tire and two studded models took part in the clarity of the results in the test.

The tests were carried out at the Polygon in Finland by car Skoda Rapid Spaceback.

Results of dough

Following the test, the Yokohama Ice Guard IG50 ranked last among untapped models.

The tire showed one of the shortest brake paths on the ice, but at the same time its handling and the acceleration time was average. In the snow, the tire also slows down well, provides fast overclocking and efficient handling, while the only disadvantage on this coating was resistance to Slashplanting: the speed of ascemboints on the snowpath of yokohama turned out to be one of the lowest (worse only by Kama). The tire average showed itself on dry asphalt and worse than all on the wet.

Discipline		A place	Comment
	Dry asphalt braking	6	The braking path by 2.4 meters is longer than that of the test leader (European tires).
	Brake on wet asphalt	8	The worst result. The braking path is 7.9 meters longer than the test leader (European tires).
	Handling on wet asphalt	7-8	One of the worst results. The time of passage by 4.6 seconds longer than the test leader (European tires).
	Brake on snow	6	A braking path by 0.6 m is longer than that of the test leader (Nordic Type Friction Tire).

Winter's passenger-notched bus Yokohama Ice Guard IG50 is one of the newest developments of one of the leaders of the Japanese tire industry. This model is produced in more than 40 different sizes with landing sizes, starting with 14 inches and ending with 17 inches.

Design drawing tread

The tire is equipped with a tread with a new-fashioned asymmetric design directional pattern. At the same time, depending on the tread width, the tire protector is equipped with a different pattern. If the tread width exceeds 235 mm, then its drawing is additionally equipped with one additional longitudinal edge located in the central part of the tread. In both cases, the asymmetric pattern of the tread allowed to provide excellent clutch, both in the snow and ice.

The pattern of the inside of the tread is designed in such a way as to ensure the best adhesion when moving on iced surfaces. In this case, its size is significantly larger than the area of \u200b\u200bthe external tread. In addition, the outer side of the tread is equipped with less massive blocks, as well as increased lamellae. Thanks to this decision, it was possible to provide a stain of contact with a significant number of sharp cutting edges.

The inner side of the Yokohama IG50 tread is equipped with three longitudinal ribs, including the shoulder zone. The two longitudinal ribs located in the central part of the tread are two rows of rectangular blocks located longitudinally relative to the direction of movement. This structure of the inner side of the tread pattern made it possible to achieve high longitudinal stiffness, which led to an improvement in the trailing and coupling characteristics in the snow.

The shoulder areas on both sides of the tread are two rows of rectangular blocks, the transverse location of which ensures high braking efficiency, especially on snow-covered coatings. In addition, the shoulder zones are distinguished by a very rigid construction, which not only improved the character of the controllability, but also contributed to a more uniform distribution of pressure on the spot of the contact.

Confident and reliable clutch with ice

This model, despite the lack of spikes, has excellent operational characteristics precisely on icing roads, thereby providing a high level of security. The tire has received such abilities, thanks to a number of constructive solutions, the most noticeable of which 3D lamellas and the innovative composition of the rubber mixture were steel.
This tire is one of the first, where two types of three-dimensional lamellae were used for the first time - the triple volume, which are located in the central part of the tread, and the triple three-dimensional in the shoulder areas. In both cases, the multifaceted surface of the walls allows you to create a durable compound between them at the time of contact with the road web, which significantly increases the stiffness of the protector blocks, simultaneously forming a plurality of additional edges of the clutch. As a result, the tire demonstrates not only excellent handling on dry asphalt, but also a stable reliable clutch on the icing coating.

Another component provided by the bus Yokohama Ice Guard Ig50 Excellent ice characteristics, an innovative rubber mixture of the tread is innovative. As is known, one of the main causes of poor clutch of the tires with icing coated is the water film resulting from friction. The protector of this model is made of a rubber mixture, which is characterized by excellent absorbent properties, which allows the tread to cling to the surface of the ice due to the absorption of the water film. Such properties of the rubber mixture were achieved, due to the presence in its structure of special absorbing microbubbles, the hollow form of which deteriorates moisture from the contact stain. At the same time, the micropuling shell is characterized by increased rigidity, thereby creating a microcromatic effect, which, in turn, increases the resistance of the protector blocks to the deformation. In addition to microbubbles, the rubber mixture contains a special absorbent component - White Gel (white gel). This substance made a rubber mixture more elastic, due to which a more efficient removal of the film of water with an icing surface is ensured.

The main features of the winter tires Yokohama Ice Guard Ig50

- the asymmetric design of the directional pattern of the tread made it possible to achieve excellent characteristics, both in the snow and on ice;
- reduced rolling resistance due to high tire resistance to deformation;
- a combination of two types of three-dimensional lamellas, so that the tire demonstrates excellent grip on the snow and ice;
