Winter tires Yokohama Ice Guard IG35 are designed for operation in complex climatic conditions. They are perfectly coping with changeable weather. Rubber canceled reveals itself in the snow, in slush, on icing and with a dry freezerous asphalt.

High quality and high demands of tires confirm numerous mainly positive auto owner reviews.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!

Description of tires

Japanese researchers have worked on the development of tires Yokohama Ice Guard IG35. They took into account the features of winter operation on our roads. As a result, the composition of the rubber mixture and the tread shape are selected in such a way as to ensure maximum control over the driving machine.

Despite all the efforts of the developers of Yokohama Ice Guard IG35, it is not able to resist the snow layer. This is especially true of the tires season, when the number of spikes becomes significantly less. Snow pours on rubber and wheels begin to slip. No stability in acceleration or braking in this case should not speak.

Features

Yokohama Ice Guard IG35 has a widely deployed central part. It improves handling and increases stability when driving on ice, as well as on dry and wet asphalt.

In the design of Yokohama Ice Guard IG35 there are special multifaceted 3D lamellas. They cling to each other during the deformation under pressure. This increases the tread rigidity. The tire contact spot with an expensive increases and a more stable edge effect is manifested. Multi-faceted 3D lamellas improve the behavior of the machine on garbel or snow-covered road surface.

A three-dimensional design with protective protrusions around spikes is applied to Yokohama Ice Guard IG35. This reduces the risk of its early loss. Also increases the edge effect, which in a positive side affects the operational characteristics of the tire.

On the Yokohama Ice Guard IG35 Plus uses spike abrasion resistant. They provide reliable clutch with icing road surface.

To hold spikes in rubber, a new form holes are applied. According to the assurances of developers, they more reliably perform the functions assigned to them. In the new type of holes, the gap between the spike and rubber walls is reduced.

Despite all the efforts of the developers of Yokohama Ice Guard IG35, the reviews of the owners say that the spikes fly too quickly. For the season you can lose 14-20 spikes. In some owners, rubber is generally deprived of all metal elements. The spikes are flying out even with the vehicle's measured operation.

Dimension

The sizes of manufactured tires are selected in such a way as to maximize cars, for which Yokohama Ice Guard IG35 is suitable. It is possible to know with the main dimensions in the table, which is shown below.

Tests

Yokohama Ice Guard IG35 shows mediocre test results. Rubber is better than domestic tires, but does not reach the level of world leaders.

By request of Yokohama, the characteristics of the manufactured company produced was performed. Various winter tires, including Ice Guard IG35, participated. With the results of tests can be found in the table below.

Yokohama tests and other independent experts were carried out. Tires showed themselves to the midnight. You can get acquainted with the test results in the tables below

Pros and cons

Yokohama Ice Guard IG35 are quite good tires. They have a lot of advantages over competitors, but also not devoid. The table below shows the lists of the pros and cons of Yokohama Ice Guard IG35. They are drawn up on the basis of the opinion of experts and reviews of car owners.

Table - Pluses and cons of tires Yokohama Ice Guard Ig35.

Dignity	disadvantages
Good transverse coupling properties on ice	On ice longitudinal coupling properties are extremely weak
Good overclocking	Bad braking in the snow due to permanent slippage
Clear behavior in turns	The car is growing on a snowy road and tries to change the trajectory, risking stuck in deep snow
Good brake path on dry asphalt	High level of noise
Lack of a significant increase in fuel consumption	The complexity of travel at high speed on the highway
Good safety	On wet asphalt slow down the car is very difficult
Wheels do not break into snow drifts due to protector shoulder checkers	Excessive ships ships
Rare deformations of rubber during operation	Bad permeability

It is not necessary to compare the results of studded and untapped tires, as they were tested on different days, in different weather conditions, and the ratio of the coupling properties of those and other tires depends on the weather very much. At one temperature, "spikes" are in front, with the other - soft "velcro". We found it a few years ago: SP, 2009, № 1

Now imagine the participants.

15 inches argued

The most expensive tires are Nokian for 4150 rubles, but they are the best - Hakkapeliitta R (Russian production) along with Michelin X-Ice 2 shared first place. Value for money - 4.5.

Slightly cheaper, for 4100 rubles. You can buy ContivikingContact 5. Our results suggest: and these tires are in place. True, in terms of price / quality ratio (4.6) this purchase is slightly less profitable.

But Michelin X-ICE 2 in price costs is on the best position: 3900 rubles. Value for money, equal to 4.2, the most attractive in the first triple. We believe that the cost of this tire is underestimated, because the market already has a new model - Michelin X-Ice of the Third Generation. She was officially presented by last winter outside of Russia, postponing the official presentation of the novelties on us for almost a year.

In the fourth place Goodyear UltraGrip Ice + 3560 rubles. For a piece (we believe, the price is overestimated - fee for high brand). Value for money - 4.1.

The fifth financial rating should be Bridgestone Blizzak Revo Gz - 3520 rub. Tire is cheaper for the smallest. Earnings in our tests of 892 points, it turned out to be in fourth place with an even more attractive price / quality ratio, equal to 4.0.

Very close at a price (3500 rubles), but already in the sixth place the next tire - Pirelli Winter Icecontrol. The final table also occupies the sixth place with 846 points. We believe that it should be sold slightly cheaper: now the price / quality index is 4.1 - like a stronger "Houdier".

Yokohama IceGuard Ig35 for 3400 rubles. At the seventh place, although the test showed the eighth result by typing only 820 points. Once they buy, it means there are those who are ready to pay for the inscription Made in Japan.

Nizhnekamskaya Viatti Brina scored 816 points and ranked ninth. Tire with a foreign name for the price of only 2600 rubles. Bye must be well sold, local marketers believe. We wish them good luck.

The cheapest bus is Cordiant Polar SL for 2500 re. And in the test she took the seventh place, even ahead of the Japanese product. In our opinion, 826 points at a ratio of price / quality, equal to 3.0, is the result, worthy of attention.

All tables open in full size over the click of the mouse.

16-inch "Shipovki"

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 for 6600 rubles. Ahead of the rest of the world. Expensive, but deservedly, since these are the best tires in our test: 929 points. The price / quality ratio is also "leading" - 7.1.

In second place ContiCecontact. The difference with the winner of 200 rubles. ("Conti" costs 6400 rubles) and 4 points give a decrease in the index price / quality to 6.9.

The third place is the novelty of Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic, - rightly, since the tire is clearly from the leaders. It can be bought for 5,500 rubles.

A little cheaper sell Michelin X-Ice North 2 - for 5400 rubles. The cost is even slightly understated, because in our Xin 2 tests scored 923 points, the price / quality ratio is the most attractive in the leading troop test: 5.9.

Another 100 rubles. Cheaper Gislaved Nordfrost 5 (5300 rub.). According to the results of the test, the tire scored 905 points, taking the sixth place. Value for money 5.9 Equally Mishlenovsky. Loves our people "Gislaved", because there is no money regrets.

On the sixth place Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000 for 5250 rubles. In our tests, this model was able to take only the eighth place by typing 855 points. The price / quality ratio is 6.1 more than that of Mishlen and Gislavda.

At the seventh position of Pirelli Winter Carving Edge, which can be bought for 5200 rubles. We recommend these tires, because in the tests they were in fourth place by typing 918 points. And with such a cost indicator price / quality is the most attractive in the first six test: 5.7.

Next to Yokohama IceGuard IG35 - and, as usual, with a slight gap at a price with Bridge: Sale for 5100 rubles. The place in the price sheet is close to busy in our test, but the price / quality ratio is overestimated: 6.1.

At all in another price category (4500 rubles) Sell a novelty Hankook - I-Pike RS. A decent tire, which made a big step forward from the previous model and scoreing 886 points. Almost close to the binds of 900 points, which distinguishes very good tires from others. Index Price / Quality is 5.1 - It is worth seeing.

Nearby no less worthy Nordman 4 Russian production, they offer only 4,400 rubles, that is, in two thirds of the price of a leading older brother. Meanwhile, in our final list "Nordman" ranks fifth (!) Position. The ratio of price / quality and manit - 4.8. Good suggestion.

For 4000 rubles. You will find Cordiant Polar 2. The place in the price rating corresponds to the resulting formation, although the price / quality ratio (5.0) is less attractive than that of Nordman.

Closes the parade of popular tires "Kama-Euro 519": only 3500 rubles., - Last place and in our test. Buying a tire with a ratio of price / quality equal to 4.3, will not be ruined for the modest budget.

Based in 2010, in our test participate for the first time.

Weak on ice in all directions - in acceleration, turns and braking. In the snow, more points are: worse than others hold turns, weakly accelerate, but brake well - along with "Nokian"! Course stability on a snow-covered road leaves much to be desired: the car is experiencingly growing, demanding infringement. Hold the right direction prevents low informativeness - the steering wheel in an effort is almost empty. In fast turns, the first reaction is good, although the rotation angles are vigorous. The transition to slip soft, asked the trajectory is kept, however, and here the driver grieves overly lightweight, empty steering wheel.

The snowdrifts do not like, if necessary, it is better to overcome them, without turns and stops. Amend the direction refuse, the Trogan is possible only in a latitude. During the slip, they strive to bury up, retreat reluctantly. On the asphalt straight line, the car goes even when accelerated. At constant speed floats, requiring a tireless adjustment, which responds to unpleasant pouring the rear axle.

Brokes on a dry road weakly, on wet - worse than all. Uncomfortable: loudly noisy, with a growing speed more and more. Transmit shakers from medium and large road irregularities, vibrate on small. The fuel is valid at any speed.

Created in 2008, in our market appeared in 2009, but in the test of SC takes part for the first time.

On Ice, the transverse clutch and overclocking the weakest. Braking average, and it pleases. But on the snow and braking, and overclocking is worse than all other dough participants, although in the turns are held at the road. On the snow-covered straight straight, they grow a bit, they take away the car from a given direction, tightening into deeper snow. Handling mediocre: The car does not listen to the steering wheel and strives to straighten the trajectory, slipping out the viragee. The skid occurs only if provoked it, but is well compensated.

In deep snow, moving insecure, and only with a certain degree of bucks. Reward refuses, slides in a rings or there, where less resistance. On asphalt goes smoothly, but when the direction is adjusted. At small angles, the steering wheel is very sluggish, but with an increase in the angle of rotation, the car sharply changes the direction to the larger angle than was required.

Braking is stable and dry, and on wet asphalt, the brake path of the average size. Comfortable: quiet on any road, only on the comb slightly itch. Transfer shuddering and small shoes from small irregularities. Extra fuel is not consumed, but also does not save.

Production and sales have begun in 2009.

On Ice, the behavior of an unbalanced - middle hand overclocking, weak grip in the turns and the weakest braking. But on the snow, everything is exactly, the grip is average in all directions. On the snow-covered road, it seems and carry the car exactly, and the steering wheel in the "zero" is dense, understandable - but the back takes over the side to the side, and this does not attach confidence. In turn behavior is unstable. In the initial phase, an unpleasant drift occurs, which manages to compensate for the addition of gas. With the cooler of the steering wheel, his informativeness decreases sharply, literally falls. The matter will end, no one knows - you have to fight either with demolition, or with a drift.

The same uncertainty and in deep snow. Move well only on the verge of bucking. It is especially dangerous to slip at the time of the Troggy: leads to an injection. On the other hand, maneuvers are given without tension, the car is chosen confidently with reversing. On the asphalt goes exactly, the reaction when the direction is corrected is clear. But here the rear axle does not give the driver to relax, having twisted after action steering. This gives a car delaying excess turning.

Braking and dry, and on a wet road is weak. You can not call the tires - publish an increased hum. Transmit shakers on the body from medium and large irregularities, vibrate into small. Fuel consumption is above average at any speed.

Created in 2009, at the same time began selling in Russia, in 2011 modernized.

On ice, braking and transverse grip are medium, and overclocking is weak. In the snow, on the contrary, overclocking the middle, braking is weak, and the transverse coupling properties are the lowest, along with "VIATTI". On the snow-covered road, it goes smoothly, without reacting to different thickness of a snow blanket, - Course stability from Pielli is traditionally good. Handling, too, without comments: The steering wheel is dense, understandable, reactions are clear. The transition to the slide is soft, the trajectory can be set and adjust both the wheel and gas. There is practically no drift, in the limit the car all starts to crawl out.

Deep snow does not want to overcome. Forward moving reluctantly, even in motion trying to bury. Well, though thread chosen. On the asphalt resemble summer tires - a dense steering wheel in the okolonul zone, excellent informativeness and a clear follow-up to the specified direction.

Braking is surprisingly weak on the wet and the weakest on dry asphalt. The noise is increased, high vibration trucks - the company firm pays little attention. It is not very willing to roll - fuel consumption elevated at any speed.

Burned in 2009, in the market are present from 2010.

Deservedly enter the top five. They differ from those who stayed behind, good balance: all the characteristics are not leadership, but even on any of the coatings that will meet in winter on our roads. For example, on ice and in the longitudinal, and in transverse directions showed average results. It is not so good on the snow: overclocking and cross grip is medium, but slightly leads to weak braking. At high speed through the snow, go smoothly, but not enough informativeness on the steering wheel. Lack of confidence and when moving in turn. At the entrance, a tangible delay in reactions makes it overly rotate the ram. For this reason, in the initial phase of turning, the car is in demolition, demanding to reset the gas. And on the arc turn, knocks off to break into a skid, which, fortunately, is easily parched.

The drifts are overcome without tension, go forward confidently, do not burst under the trokhan, but they don't like strongly. On the asphalt, slightly digging on the transverse irregularities, respond to a slightly delay. There is no complaints about the noise of noise, even on the rough asphalt rolls quietly. But on convex irregularities, it is decently shaken by the car and transmit vibrations from the seams, cracks and micronether roads.

Inhibit medium, without showing preferences with dry or wet coating. At a speed of 60 km / h, it is helped to save fuel, at 90 km / h look from this point of view.

The model is the designer "Gudira", created in 2009, on our market is sold since 2010.

Good on ice in acceleration, brake properties and transverse clutch are only medium. In the snow, overclocking and transverse grip are medium, and braking is weak. Only "Iokohama" stops worse. On the snowy road go smoothly. Experts noted not only confident deduction of the direction, but also an informative steering wheel, as well as immediate reactions to the course adjustment. In fast turns, the speed is limited to the soft demolition of the front axle, which is eliminated by the cooler steering or a slight decrease in speed. Barley high informativeness.

The drifts are overcome reluctantly, forward moves uncertainly, they turn badly. Reverse move moves more confidently, allow you to get out of the snow trap. According to the asphalt, they are practically smoothly, they grow out a bit on transverse irregularities, and when the direction is adjusted slightly.

Brokes on wet coverage well, and on dry stops the best. Pretty comfortable - go on any coating softly and quietly, except that a little hissing on a snowy road. The fuel consumption is average at 60 km / h, and at 90 km / h increased.

Released since 2008, at the same time they began to be sold in the Russian market.

During this time, the mixture was not upgraded again. On Ice show average results in braking and cross-clutch, and accelerates well. But behind the snow clings better than all: in the appropriate exercises were leading. But the term stability slightly stripped: small difficulties appear when trying to adjust the direction of movement. With each small turn of the driver's steering wheel, a slower reaction and shallow, but long-term drift. In rapid turns, reactions are prevented in reactions and low beam informativeness, which leads to increasing drift with prolonged stabilization.

In deep snow, turn the machine into the tractor. Very confident touch, moving and maneuver in any modes, without fearing the bounce. On the asphalt, slightly float, are affected by the side wind, are noticeably delayed on corrective steering steering. Transmit vibrations from small irregularities, tightly pass the road joints, forcing the car to shock. They are noisy, it is unpleasant to crunch and buzz in slippery turns when they find, for which it is hooked.

Brokes on wet asphalt Best of all. Yes, and on dry show good results. At a speed of 60 km / h, the most economical (along with the "Houdier", "Michelin" and "Nokian"), at 90 km / h do not require superfluous.

Created in 2008, since then and sold.

A good balance of coupling properties on all covers that can be found on the winter road. On Ice, the coupling properties are smooth, regardless of actions and modes - in turn, during overclocking, when braking. In the snow, good transverse clutch and acceleration, but braking average. In a straight line, they go smoothly, without a hint of the desire to be used from a given direction, accurately react to the steering wheel when the course is adjusted. In turns behave clearly, without problems and surprises. Clearly prescribe the turns, allow you to adjust the radius with the wheel or changing the fuel supply.

In the snowdrifts feel at home. Feelings are similar to those that you get from "Continental." Confidently row, bend in any modes, maneuver without difficulty. On the asphalt goes smoothly, bribe clear reactions comparable to the behavior of summer tires.

Brake well, regardless of whether dry asphalt or wet. Comfortable: only slightly voiced by tractor trail and rough ice. About the smoothness of the course comments are also not. Economic in urban speeds are not abused by fuel and at 90 km / h.

Created in 2008, since then they are almost annually being upgraded.

On the ice - the coupling properties in all disciplines in all disciplines: in braking, during acceleration and in a circle. In the snow, the clutch is very good: when overclocking and in turn, the best, along with the "continental", in the efficiency of braking is slightly inferior to it - the second result. In a straight line "White" road go smoothly, without requiring adjustment. According to the controllability, similar to Bridgestone and Pielli: as clear reactions, the car also obediently changes the trajectory when manipulating the wheel or gas. The same good stabilization after sliding provoked by the driver.

Deep snow is better to overcome, drowned the gas pedal to the floor. True, in this mode, risks are clicked into such a snowdrift, from where without shovel or extraneous help do not get out. Although during the tests it was not needed - the car was always reversed. The asphalt goes exactly, but the experts noted small delays when adjusting the course.

Brokes well on wet coating and medium on dry. As for the comfort, there are minor comments - the noise level on the uneven road is somewhat increased, vibrations from small irregularities are transmitted. For any speed, fuel consumption is the lowest in the test.

Created in 2008, from that time sold. In 2010, the composition of the rubber mixture is upgraded.

Nevertheless, against the background of other winter tires "Kama-Euro 519" looks weak. On the ice, the coupling properties are very low, worse only from the "Cordian". In the snow, the clutch is also more than modest. The only consolation is the balance of coupling properties is quite even in all directions: it slows down, accelerates and keeps the road in the turns weakly. On the snow-covered road, it is better to go slowly: the car is digging from side to side. In a slippery turn, the behavior of the ribbon: the car breaks down into demolition, then in the skid. More or less, the steering wheel is only on the rolled snow. On ice, even at a small speed, it breaks into the skid. Slides on any coating for a long time. Keep the car under control interfere with very large corners of the steering wheel and significant delays in reactions.

In deep snow, it is not quite confident. At the time of the Trogan, it is better not to stop. With the wheel twisted towards the wheels, better than right. Reversely is chosen without problems. On the asphalt growing hard on the road. Correquency direction interferes with very large steering angles, significant delay and low informativeness, and even unpleasant torturing the rear axle.

Braking on wet asphalt is weak, on dry is the weakest. On Ice and asphalt loudly spent the protector. Very tough - passes the shocks from medium irregularities and vibrations from small.

They saw the light in 2009, but in our test appeared for the first time.

Overflowed spikes make the bus almost helpless on ice - neither accelerate nor turn or stop. In the snow holds a little better. The transverse clutch is closer to the middle, although overclocking is weak, and the braking is the weakest. The course in the snow is quite even, only small lying with a change in depth are noted. On Ice coupling properties are subjectively assessed as very bad. It is not necessary to sharply twist the ram, otherwise the car refuses to rotate. If you still managed to turn, the arc is waiting for a skid. In the snow, the speed is limited to a sharp breakdown in the skid. Parious it prevents the lack of informativeness of the steering wheel and low delays in reactions.

In deep snow, not quite confidently moving. There are no pronounced preferences in motion modes, it is well pulling the car with a small bucking. Reversely go confidently. The asphalt goes smoothly, but when the direction is adjusted, a slight infringement of the rear axle and the lack of informativeness of the steering wheel are intermitted.

Braking average and dry road, and wet. Comfort does not indulge: buzzing loudly loudly, shake the body on convex irregularities, pushed on medium, transmit vibrations into small. Fuel consumption at 60 km / h increased, at 90 km / h above average. The spikes are not held very reliable: during tests, the protrusion value has changed to three "dozens".

Pretty fresh tires were created in 2010, from that time sold in Russia.

But in our test they lit up for the first time. On Ice coupling properties in all directions are average. In the snow behave less confidently: braking and transverse grip weak, overclocking the most sluggish, along with Bridgestone. On the snowy road, they grow a little. In the turns affect not enough high coupling properties - the machine is completely slid out.

Sugro not for these tires: in deep snow stuck, as they are called, in a flat place. During the Trogan, fail, strive to bury. Reverse move moves uncertainty. According to the ideal asphalt, it is going to smoothly, but on our roads is not often found. Therefore, a constant adjustment of the direction is required, which is complicated by delays in reactions and unpleasant swelling of the rear axle.

On a dry road, the car stops reluctantly, and braking on the wet is the weakest. Very tough: shocks from irregularities are transmitted to the floor and the seat, vibrations occur on the steering wheel. Loudly noise and buzz with spikes. Fuel consumption average at any speed. The spikes hold securely, there are no losses, but the size of the protrusion is more than modest: reliably cling to such spikes per ice and tight snow will not be able.

Created in 2009, but in the Russian market appeared late, in 2010.

On Ice coupling properties: medium and in braking, and in turns, and in acceleration. In the snow go less confident than on ice. The braking is weak, overclocking the most sluggish, like the "Iokohama", the transverse clutch is also the lowest. On the snowy road, they dig a bit, but they do not leave the trajectory. Slow reactions to steering steering. In rapid turns, the speed is limited to a long demolition. In the slide of the front axis, the car on the trusted steering wheel does not react.

In deep snow, it is confidently touched and moved, but only a dashing. It is necessary to check the wheels, the thrust is lost and the car immediately stops. According to asphalt, they go smoothly, retain the specified course. But when you need to adjust the direction of movement, the driver strains the rear axle and is not an informative steering wheel.

When measuring the brake route again, "Iokohama" was again. As with her, braking is weak and dry, and on wet coverage. It is not sufficiently comfortable: they are transmitted to the body to shock from irregularities, loudly noisy with a tread and spikes, even at high speed. Fuel consumption at 60 km / h increased, at 90 km / h above average. Speaking of spikes and the rate of increasing the protrusion. Loss for test time is not.

New in the Russian market. As they say, with heat from the heat.

On Ice coupling properties high, reasonable balance. Brake and transverse clutch are good, overclocking medium. In the snow, too, quite strong. Longitudinal coupling properties are good, transverse - mid-level. On the snowy road, they grow slightly, but they do not leave the trajectory. There is a lack of informativeness of the steering wheel and a small delay when adjusting the direction of movement. Frams in slip turns are rescued, the car slides longer than I would like, but the clutch restoration is soft and smooth.

In deep snow, it is not entirely confidently moving, when they slip at the time of the start, a tendency to self-paging is shown. Reversely go confidently. On the asphalt make the car swim through the strip. A wide "zero" is interfered, delays in reactions, winding the rear axle and insufficient informativeness.

Brokes weakly, and on dry asphalt, and on wet. Remarks regarding comfort: small vibrations from small irregularities and increased general noise, typical of the studded tires. At a speed of 60 km / h fuel consumption below average, at 90 km / h - the most economical. The magnitude of the speakers of spikes and the rate of increasing the protrusion is normal. During the dough, the loss of thorns was not.

The most "mature" tires in our test.

Made from 2006, from the same time sold in Russia. On Ice boasts a good balance: inhibit and turn well, accelerates medium. In the snow, coupling properties in any direction are medium - also good. On the snow-covered straight goes smoothly, without requiring infringement. In the corners on the ice and the rolled snow are pleasing to clear reactions and a very soft transition to sliding. However, on the loose snow on the arc, a sharp drive arises, requiring the driver of clear steaming actions.

Deep snow does not complain, they are confidently moving only on the freshly made muffling. If the snow is slightly tight, you can only drive, you can only drive, without slipping. According to the asphalt straight line, the car is exactly, the reaction to the change in the course is immediate, except that informativeness on the steering wheel is not enough.

Braking is just shine: both on the wet, and on dry asphalt tires stop perfectly. The noise background is elevated, as in most "riding", and there is no claims to smoothness - all road irregularities are well smoothed. The most voracious at any speed. The magnitude of the speakers of the spikes and the pace of its growth in the test time is optimal. Lost a couple of spikes from the front wheels.

Released since 2009, from the same time sold.

Drawing of the tread - the legacy of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta tire 4. Different with a mixture composition and spikes with a round core. In our tests participate for the first time. On Ice, braking and transverse clutch medium, nice overclocking. In the snow, the behavior is more confident: the longitudinal coupling properties are good, and the cross-clutch is the most reliable. On the snow-covered straight straight and the front axle, and the rear, reacting to the density of snow. At low angles, the turning of the Baranki marked insufficient informationity. In the turns you can go rapidly - clear reactions, the behavior is clear. The speed is limited to a slight drift, which is easily compensated by the steering or the addition of gas.

Summills are not afraid: it's enough to add gas, and the car will go there where the steering wheel turns. Reversely is chosen without problems. On the asphalt goes smoothly, but when the course is adjusted, the delay in reactions and the empty steering wheel is tangible.

Brokes on dry asphalt medium, on wet - good. Loudly noise with a tread and spikes, especially from 40 to 60 km / h. The smoothness of the stroke can be called good, do not be small vibrations from small irregularities. Fuel consumption average at any speed. The magnitude of the speech of spikes and its increase during tests is close to the optimum. Lost spikes are not.

Based in 2007. From 2008 sold in Russia.

Periodically, they update the design, spikes and composition of the mixture, leaving the "face" unchanged. The latest innovations allowed Karving to join the leading group. On ice, longitudinal coupling properties are medium, and the cross grip is the highest. In the snow, the coupling properties are good in all directions. On the snow-covered road hold the course canceled. The car goes as an arrow and sensitively reacts even to small turns of a dense, highly informative beam. Turns are prescribed with a light. Clear, understandable management, sensitive reactions to the slightest steering wheel. In the limit, the speed is limited to a soft and smooth drift, which can be paid off by a small addition of gas or turning the steering wheel. Slide is fast, but gently stabilizes.

Suggesis overcome easily, when starting, do not bury, go and dirty, and with a bucking, easily maneuver. On the asphalt goes smoothly, the correction direction helps a clear "zero".

Brokes on wet coverage medium, on dry well. Traditionally, they do not care comfort: noisy, as if the plane flies, shake on any irregularities, as if they are thrown. Most likely, the low level of comfort is a kind of fee for the pleasure of driving a car on the winter road. Fuel is consumed middle at any speed. The magnitude of the spikes and the rate of their growth in the test time is optimal. There are no losses.

In the Russian market are offered since 2009.

The only of today's leaders use spikes with a circular core. On Ice longitudinal coupling properties medium, transverse - good. In the snow, the alignment of a little different: the longitudinal grip is good, and the transverse one is the middle hand. On the snow-covered road carry the car smoothly and stable. Reactions when correction of the course - without comments. In turns, the behavior is clear and understandable. The speed is most often limited to a mild demolition, but the car reacts well to the coat of steering and tries to keep the specified trajectory.

Even in slides, it does not come out from under the control of the driver. You can not only flash snow drifts through, but also to maneuver in them, stop and fed again. If I stopped the car, I snatched back and went further. It is always possible to get out of the thread. On the asphalt, the term stability is good, "zero" is clear, the steering wheel is dense - the tires are practically like summer.

Brokes on dry asphalt well, on wet - medium. The noise level is increased, on solid coating, the roar of spikes is clearly heard, especially in the range of 60-90 km / h. The smoothness of the course without comments - any irregularities are good. The fuel is saved in all high-speed modes - and at 60, and at 90 km / h. Speaking of spikes and the rate of change in the magnitude of the protrusion normally. During run-in and tests, no spike is lost.

Relatively fresh model that appeared in 2010.

From the same year it is sold in Russia. It differs from other tires "diamond" shape of spikes. On Ice coupling properties are good in all directions. On the snow, the same is the longitudinal, and the transverse grip at a high level. On the snow-covered road allow you to go quickly, carry the car smoothly. But informativeness on the steering wheel is insufficient. In the turns prevail the demolition of the front axle. The skid, if such comes, manifests itself softly and smoothly and is eliminated without much difficulty.

In deep snow, it goes well only with intensive bounces, but this mode is inex-informative. Wrive down - and the reverse does not help. On asphalt goes smoothly, the steering wheel is dense, "zero" is clear, reaction when adjusting the direction immediate.

Basin on the wet asphalt is better than the rest, the average results are shown on dry, along with "Gislaved." Loudly noisy spikes on a solid coating - both on ice, and on asphalt, especially loudly from 70 to 90 km / h. Pretty hard: transmit vibrations from road irregularities to the floor of the body, seat and ram. Fuel consumption average at any speed. Speaking of spikes within the optimal value. Spikes are held in rubber very reliable.

Presented at the end of 2008, sold from 2009.

Constantly being updated, which allows them to hold in the lead. On Ice demonstrated the best longitudinal coupling properties, transverse - medium. On the snow - the best overclocking, good braking and the holder in turns. On the snow-covered road go smoothly, without comments. The steering wheel is dense, the reaction is clear. In turns, the speed is limited to a soft, helping drift, which is easier eliminated by a small addition of gas. Even in slides, the car listened to the driver teams, restores the trajectory gently and smoothly.

In deep snow, they are moving confidently, they are well maneuver, they are drunk without desire to bury. Any mode: from the professional movement of the sweat, without turning the wheels, to the "blonde" gas in the floor. Very well chosen by reverse. According to the asphalt, the movement is smooth, but when adjusting it is unpleasant to wind the rear axle.

Braking on dry asphalt is weak, on wet - average. Comfort is not ideal: the obvious noise of spikes on the asphalt and smooth ice, shocks from road irregularities, primarily convex. Economic at any speeds. The magnitude of the spikes is close to the limit of reasonable. Nevertheless, the average protrusion during testing has changed only by 0.1 mm, which means that the spikes in the rubber hold it reliably.

New, preparing for sale this year.

The final points we could not calculate, because in braking in the snow Ice Arctic beat the best serial tire, which we accepted in the calculations for the "base". On Ice high longitudinal coupling properties, and transverse - medium. On the snow - super bridge, very good overclocking and medium transverse coupling properties. On the snow-covered road, they grow slightly, with a delay reacting to the direction adjustment. In rapid turns, behavior is ambiguous. In the initial phase, at the stage of entering the turn, there is a tangible delay in reactions, leading to the demolition of the front axle. After restoring the clutch, already on the arc, the likelihood of the occurrence of driving, which is compensated and the wheel, and the addition of gas at the same time. After sliding, the clutch recovery occurs quite sharply, provoking a shooting skid to the other side.

The concepts of "deep snow" for these tires does not exist. Help the car for challenges from the snow captivity never needed. On the asphalt is noticeably floating from side to the side, requiring constant adjustment. Very wide "zero", delay on steering steering.

Brokes on wet asphalt well, on dry - medium. Pushed on medium irregularities, heavily buzzed with a tread and spikes. The magnitude of the speech of spikes is at the limit. However, changing the protrusion during test time in just one "top ten" suggests that the spikes are fixed firmly.

Trani, Trani!

And you yourself keep stronger, both hands! Harry! It was frightened by ticks, and Uncle Vanya, though, tries to stronger grab the spike for his "sting".

But the experience we have! Long ago, when in the winter we jumped from Finland to Germany by car, the "shirt" in "Roseovka", we were not allowed German border guards: either leaving where they came from, or buy and put the tires without spikes, or ... then we are not yet They knew that in Germany was introduced a bother on the spikes! I had to pull the "nails" from all four wheels, and the wheels were rather big - we had Land Rover Discovery! Thank God, now the task is different: we need to check how tightly spikes are sitting in the protective, so that with the help of ticks and a dynamometer, we will roll out of each tire only in a pair of spikes. We have easily coped with other tires, but CONTICECTACT tires do not want to part with spikes.

List of tested tires:

• Continental Conti4x4ICecontact.
• Bridgestone.
• Gislaved Nordfrost 5.
• Michelin Latitude X Ice North 2
• Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7.
• Nokian Nordman 4.
• Pirelli Winter Carving Edge
• Yokohama Ice Guard Stud Ig35
• Kama 515.

Checking the strength of landing of spikes is only part of the winter tire test program for crossover dimension 215/65R16.

Crossovers are becoming more and more. Last year, their share among new cars sold in Russia reached 13%! And all of them need winter tires. What kind?

In our test - nine tire sets: Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000, Continental Contilcecontact 4x4, Gislaved Nord Frost 5, Michelin X-LCE North 2, Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7, Nordman 4, Pirelli Winter Carving Edge, Yokohama Ice Guard 35 and Domestic Cama-515 . All studded. And is well studded? To answer this question, we conducted a "dynamometric breaking of spikes". It turned out that the effort with which you can pull the spike from the tread, lies in the range from 3.5 kgf at Michelin tires up to 7.0 kgf at Nokian. With the exception of the ContilCecontact tires, which applies a new spike installation technology: they are covered with a special composition that works like glue. When Uncle Vanya still pulled a spike, there were traces of rubber, and the dynamometer recorded an effort of 20 and 25 kgf for two spikes. Approximately four times more than "on average by hospital"!

And with Nokian tires, the incident came out: on one of the tires we found three spikes without carbide inserts. Nokian's commentary Specialists sounded like this:

This year we changed the supplier of spikes, and, apparently, he made a marriage. We'll figure out.

In Tiguan, I wound circles on the run of controllability, and Uncle Vanya with Andrei Mokhov worked on Volvo V70: the acceleration time and the brake path on the ice were measured. Front-wheel drive Volvo with disconnected rear brakes allows you to make measurements, changing only the front wheels, and it helped do not miss the weather.

On each set, they make six to eight braking, as many accelerations - for a set of statistics. And periodically repeat measurements on tires, which were the first (we call them basic) to then adjust the results, taking into account the changes in the weather and the state of the ice. On a long and wide track, these conditions are not changed so quickly, especially since the uncle Vanya slows down every time and accelerates in a new place, but I have - literally with each round. First very much. Soon the trajectories appear notch from spikes, and the clutch coefficient is growing - the circle time is improved. Then, the rotations are increasing the number of icy thickens of ice crumb, and the time on the "basic" tires becomes worse again, that is, it increases ... As a result, taking into account the correction using basic tires in this exercise, the advantage of Continental ContilCecontact 4x4 tires was recorded. But the spikes in these tires protrude from the tread is the strongest - on average by 1.6 mm, and individual inserts stick out by 1.9 mm. In Finland, it is prohibited - according to the rules aimed at reducing damage to road surface, the spikes should not perform by more than 1.2 mm. We have such standards only in the project - if they are approved, item will appear in the technical regulations: "The protector of the spike beyond the tread is 1.2 ± 0.3 mm." In the meantime - at least go to the sports sevenmillimeter spike - no words say. This uses Continental. True, it is not clear why others do not use - fear the deterioration of "asphalt" characteristics?

Shadrichyev and Mokhov outweigh the equipment on Tiguan and again go on an ice track - now in order to simulate an emergency, or rather - an attempt to drive around a sudden obstacle to braking. The car accelerates to 30 km / h, Uncle Vanya hits the brake pedal and simultaneously turns the steering wheel on the floor. Our measurements have shown that on Michelin or Continental tires to avoid an unpleasant collision with the "deer" easier than, say, on the Yokohama or Bridgestone tires. And how do Nokian tires come?

After the snowfall, we were able to measure the dispersal dynamics of the car in deep snow - better than others "row" tires Nokian, Nordman and Yokohama

Representatives of the company work in neighboring boxes and the process of our tests do not interfere. So I approached the question - and caused a considerable surprise:

Nokian on ice is worse than Continental? Can not be! We this year upgraded the HakkaPeliitta 7 tires, taking into account the recommendations of Porsche engineers. Outwardly, they are the same, but in the design of something they changed.

Finns are asked if it is possible to drive with us. Mika, a local test seat, I am right away - and we are going on the "Ice" manageability track. First, a pair of circles on the Continental tires, then on Nokian. Mika is perplexed: the results really not in favor of Finnish tires.

Now the same exercises, but on the rolled snow. Here the spikes are no longer a defining factor - and hegemony tires Continental comes end. Michelin tires are won on the braking - Gislaved, when the "deer" is preferable to Pirelli. And on the run of controllability, Nokian tires behave better than others: the best time of the circle and the maximum score for the convenience of controlling the car. Eh, still ESP on Tiguan turned off completely, otherwise you can go as if with a strict instructor in a driving school ...

The coating here also changes, but in a different way: a rinse is formed. Five or six more circles - and I am going to change the tires, and at this time the random rust with a wide knife scraper leaves the track - and the coating as a new one. Immediately on the track of the handling, I met living, not virtual deer. Fortunately, it happened already on the way out when I dropped the speed, - six deer blocked the whole road! If they went to the track with two turns earlier, without the victims, it would hardly cost.

It remains to evaluate the permeability. The Finns themselves do not conduct such tests, so it's not easy to find a suitable platform with moderately deep snow. Or impassable virgin, or perfectly cleared roads. Found a platform on a lake with a layer of snow about 30 cm. Even Tiguan - according to the most fog lights. We crawl along the virgin on each set of tires - with a slip, insert, that is, on the verge of slipping ... in the trunk of the shovel, and in touch the duty pickup with a cable. His help was needed by us just once, when Tiguan was on Pirelli tires: he could not get back on a rut, which he had just paved on the same tires. And this, by the way, one of the main criteria for the assessment of tires from the point of view of passability: the car is obliged to leave from there, where he slowly, without prior acceleration and drove himself.

The next day, nature helped us to make measurements that we have long dreamed of. Snowfall passed - and test roads were covered by about a 15-centimeter layer of snow. And now we can evaluate the dynamics of overclocking after the snowfall when the roads are not yet cleared. Five or six starts on Volvo with a slip on each set of tires - and find out that the car is best accelerated on the vehicle on Nokian tires, Nordman and Yokohama. And worse - on Michelin tires.

After the tests, carefully inspect the tires and count the loss of spikes. A clear thing, minus those two that we ourselves and out to test the tests. Losses were small - one-two spikes per set. And the Continental Tires, Nokian, Nordman and that we are especially pleased, Kama did not lose any spike. And only the condition of Pirelli tires - like thunder in February. On one of the four tires, we counted 21 empty "hole", and there were 32 of them! Is it worth buying studded tires if at the end of winter they will turn into immaculate?

Having finished with winter tests, we took a pause until spring to continue the tests on the Summer Polygon of the company Nokian Tyres.

Actually, we could spend "asphalt" tests and in the Dmitrov Auto Polygona, and in Tampere they went mainly because it is also possible to evaluate tires to Slazhening - "Pop-up" on the Slow-Water Cashe. Phenomenon, by the way, dangerous and common. In the spring, our road builders are often absorbed by the wet snow from the borders for the middle of the road so that it melted faster under the wheels of cars, and if the layer of such a "liquid" snow is only two centimeters, the tires lose contact with the road already at a speed of 37 km / h - the car becomes uncontrollable! It would be nice for these numbers to remember both road builders.

It is at the speed of 37 km / h "pop up" the Nokian and Nordman tires. And others lose reliable contact with the road even earlier - Yokohama does not allow to accelerate and up to 34 km / h. It would seem that the difference is small, but in real conditions it means that the car on one tires in turn only slightly slip, and on others - the risks to be on the oncoming lane.

The following exercises we spend mainly for those who win in large cities, and travels mainly on asphalt.

Braking from 80 km / h on wet asphalt, from 100 km / h on dry, "Perestrovka" - and once again it becomes clear that the tires brought on slippery coatings on the asphalt work badly. Take at least braking: if on summer tires, according to our measurements (AR No. 17, 2008), Tiguan stops from 100 km / h 42.3 meters, then on the winter tires the brake path on the asphalt increases on average ten meters!

And finally comfort. First - acoustic. I support the same speed on the "credit" sites of the road, and sitting next to Andrei Mokhov holds a sound meter in his hands. However, it is clear without the noiseomer that the louder of other Continental and Nokian tires. But even these "loud" tires are not annoyed. And the most quiet in the test was Russian tires Kama-515.

And on the track with artificial irregularities (asphalt ledgers, swallowed wells, etc.) We found out that the best smooth course provides Michelin tires, and Pirelli tires, Kama and Nordman are harsh.

The greatest weight in the final assessment has "ice" properties (35%): the ice was and remains the most dangerous coating on the winter road. In second place in the snow (25%), then separate lines of Patency (10%) and Slaryning (10%), brake properties on the wet asphalt (10%), and five percent we are distributed to comfort and behavior on dry asphalt. Favorites are defined, and they scored an equal number of points. Nokian HakkaPeliitta 7, Continental Contilcecontact 4x4 and Gislaved Nord Frost 5 - Choose any, you won't lose. Nordman 4 tires will be quite a reasonable choice, which are noticeably cheaper, but according to the test, the leaders are inferior only to a little bit. Pirelli Winter Carving Edge is potentially good winter tires, but they summarize the quality of the misapproving. Japanese tires in another company may have looked better, but on the background of "Grand" look pale. It is curious that in the final rating and Bridgestone, and Yokohama lost to the domestic tires of Kama-515.

Or maybe these spikes? Maybe all-wheel drive car, and even with off-road deposits, it will be enough winter tires without spikes? Or even spend the whole year on all-season? Answers to these questions you will find autores in the next issue.

	With such long spikes, no ice is afraid! Their work is felt immediately, without any measuring equipment. Including on the rumor - "diamond" spikes with a loud crunch vague into the coating, leaving on its surface 10 rows of deep "scars". The working part of the spike performs over the protector on average by 1.6 mm, and some "attachments" - as much as 1.9 mm! When braking from 50 km / h, the Continental bus wins the nearest competitors 3.6 meters - count, the body of a small car! At the Ice Handling Controlnessability of the Slip Minimal, the control over the car is magnificent ... But in the snow, the ContilCecontAct tire loses leadership, although the behavior of the car remains clear and predictable. And it is not a barrier to these tires - in deep snow, they work well in the dash. The main losses are on the asphalt, especially on dry: with a sharp braking or rebuilding in another row of tires literally smeared on asphalt. Well, at least that the new technology fixing spikes excludes their losses even after the deliberately aggressive ride with the thoughts.

	After the Swedish company Gislaved passed under the control of the Continental concern, the products under the Gislaved brand were expected to be attributed to the so-called second line Slightly easier, just more accessible than the Continental tires. But this year, Gislaved Nord Frost 5 tires were in our ranking on one step with the leaders of the First Line. Yes, the technology of "pasted" spikes is not applied here, and the achievements on the ice are not so impressive as the CONTICECTACT 4x4 tires. But the main advantage of the tires gislaved. Excellent balance between "winter" and "asphalt" qualities. A little inferior to the ContilCecontact 4x4 tires on the ice - which is not surprising with a more modest speech of spikes! - Tires Nord Frost 5 provide the minimum brake path in the snow. And on the track "Snow" manageability give the car extremely understandable and even gambling. In the deep snow, the gislaved tires work well on the verge of breakdown, but with the beginning of the slip. And on the snow-water caress there are too many competitors. On the wet asphalt - the minimum brake path! And on dry coverage, everything is not bad: confident rebuilding from a number of in a row, confident braking. And these tires are one of the most comfortable - soft and silent. Excellent option for winter operation in large cities.

	Winter tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 In the "crossover" dimension 215/65 R16, it was not so confident as in the old years. However, it did not prevent them from splitting the first place with Continental and Gislaved tires. On the ice, rhombid spikes work well in the longitudinal direction, but pass positions in turns: slides are stretched and sometimes with difficulty control, even despite the support of an inappropriate stabilization system. But on the snow - the perfect control over the car and as a result - the best time of passing the winding track. And in the loose snow of the Nokian tire in his element - the car is very confidently pierced at virgin! The protector also copes very well and with a tap from the spread of contact of the snow-water porridge. On the wet asphalt, the result is medium, but on the dry, like the Continental tires, problems are already manifested. The soft protector "develops", because of which the braking path grows and the speed of "rearrangement" falls. In terms of comfort, there is also a far from the best option. Although the spikes and zokat are slightly quieter than the "outstanding" spikes of tires Continental, but the passages of seams and joints are accompanied by a more notable vibroacoustic accompaniment. However, the spikes hold well and without glue!

	The Nordman bus test finish came with a minimal lag behind the troika leaders. Nothing amazing: Figure of the tread - like Nokian Hakkapeliitta 4 tires, which shone several years ago in our tests. And the Nordman tires are produced on the same equipment. And in some exercises on the ice of the Nordman tire even won from Nokian, but in the end they still lost - including due to sharp disruptions to slip on the run of controllability. In the snow, the car behaves better - quickly and accurately responds to controls on the verge and beyond slides, although the coupling properties are not the highest. Acceleration with slipping in deep snow is just as effective as on Nokian tires, but the movement of the latitude requires caution. After the stop did not immediately manage to get back in their own rut. To the resistance of Slaryning - no complaints. And on the asphalt of the Nordman tires work well - they allowed you to perform a "rearrangement" with a better speed. Decent option for urban winter operation. And relatively affordable.

	Yes, yes, after driving in the snow and on the ice - without races on asphalt! - Four Pirelli tires lost 32 spikes! It was especially distinguished by one of the tires, on which we did not charge twenty spikes! It is a pity, because in the ride disciplines of the tires managed to show quite good results. And in the snow Pirelli - in the leaders. True, the expert was not easy to achieve a high result on the winding snowy track due to early slides. The usual driver, and even on the car without ESP, hardly please such a sweeping "figure skating". In the side of the tire Pirelli, we were convinced of deep snow - at some point the car stops and backwards before either step. On the asphalt Winter Tires Pirelli showed themselves more well. If it were not for the catastrophic loss of thorns, we would include the Pirelli Winter Carving EDGE tires to reasonable acquisitions. In the meantime, we will wait for changes in the technology of misappropriate - and the chance to make sure that the result is achieved.

	MICHELIN tires are not going to "faceted" spikes. It seems in vain. On the ice, they work perfectly in the transverse direction: they are easy and pleasant to drive a car on the track of the controllability, and when there is obstacles - and the best result is at all! But they are badly clinging for the ice during acceleration and braking, giving way to the Russian tires of Kama with their primitive four-row obepovka! In the snow, the situation is better, but this is true only for the rolled snow. When his layer reaches 15 cm, the situation changes dramatically - when overclocking, Michelin has already loses to competitors. And on the asphalt - "Breakdown and Shatting": on the wet coverage - the maximum braking path, and the situation is noticeably better on the dry. But already throws handling - "Remisting" car performs with Lenza. But with comfort, everything is unambiguous - the tires are soft and very soft. As a result, not the most stable, but very comfortable tires. And spikes, unlike tires Pirelli, are not scattered, although we pulled them with a little effort.

	Tires are not the first freshness, and we did not wait for the revelations. And they took them because they simply did not find more modern Russian models of dimension 215/65 R16. Rubber is tougher than imported competitors, and steel hulls of spikes have already been covered with a yellow rust challenge. But the first departure to the ice - and the tires of Kama "circle" on braking Bridgestone. And when overclocking - also Michelin! On the Ice Circle - the third result in the "Absolute"! Not bad tires led themselves on the run of controllability. Here you have rusty spikes. When overclocking and braking in the snow, Kama bus again ahead of the Japanese. And only on the track of manageability, the car began to break into a skid too dramatically. In the loose snow tire, Kama does not work very confidently, but helps slip. Another surprise is a good slohening resistance. Better only Nokian and Nordman. And on the asphalt, the results are good. At the "Rearrangement", the car reacts to the first impulse - as if it is on summer tires, but with the beginning of slides, the grip with asphalt worsens too sharply. Kama tires were expected to be among the toughest. And unexpectedly - the most quiet. At least, according to our noiseomer, although they are "singing", they are not quieter than Michelin or Bridgestone. Moreover, a higher voice. Tires are quite affordable, and judging by our test, this is not the case when the miser pays twice.

	Yokohama IG35 tires appeared last year, and, frankly, we expected more from them. Alas: ordinary coupling properties on ice in the longitudinal direction and frankly low - in the transverse one. The car reluctantly reacts to the turns of the steering wheel, so that in the critical situation on the garbage expense, the driver will have to be disadvantaged. And on the ice controllability of the tire, the car endow the car such insufficient turning, that even after a sharp gas discharge, he continues treacherously sliding outwards. On the snow. On the contrary, the tires are poorly kept in the longitudinal direction, and in the transverse work better. In the deep snow Yokohama "rowing" confidently - and with slipping, and in a latitude. On the snow-water kash, the tires were flattened, although with such a raspberry "fir tree" we expected a more efficient removal from the spot of contact. Here on the asphalt Japanese tires in their elements - they are especially good when braking on dry coverage: with a speed of 100 km / h reduce the braking path as much as five meters, if compared with Continental tires. Comfort at the average level, and in general, the average tires with a balance of characteristics shifted towards asphalt.

	Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000, it seems to be created specifically for Russia: In the Scandinavian countries, Bridgestone offers another model - NORANZA, which, by agreement "Off-Take", produces Nokian Tyres at its Finnish factory. And if the NORANZA tires in tests conducted by our European colleagues are confidently compete with Nokian and Continental tires, then IceCruiser 7000 can only take place with Russian tires. In acceleration and braking on the ice - the worst results. Not everything is smooth and on the manageability track: slides begin early, and you do not know what to expect: demolition of the front axle or rear drift. And in the snow Bridgestone - in the laggards. On the track manageability, control slip is very difficult - and, even despite the insurance of ESP, a couple of times still had to "lean" to a snowdrift. In the deep snow, Bridgestone tires work well, they do not work well, but they are not friends with slipping. With wet snow tires coped not bad. But even better they perform on the asphalt, both on dry and wet. The car slows down well and confidently circles the obstacle. Despite the last place in the final protocol, you should not talk about the complete uselessness of the BRIDGESTONE ICE Cruiser 7000 tires. This is another option of winter tires for large cities, but, being on ice or in the snow, you need to be extremely generally!

Reviews of car owners about tires Yokohama Ice Guard Stud Ig35

Yandex Market

Normal model

Advantages: Price, tread geometry
Disadvantages: The main enemy is a pitch. The ice is not very kept, the snow porridge is 40 km to the skid goes easily and slipping with the slightest pressure on the gas on top of the usual.
Comment: Delivered from the previous owner. I don't like the tires ... From the rut, it doesn't just push out, but throws away! Moreover, it is sharp that once a little in the bumpman was not removed. Snow porridge and ice does not like. I am already at 40 km / h, on the ice, the feeling like sleds are going with a small slide and try to slow down the legs \u003d) I do not recommend, my still for the season should be definitely, maybe more ... I will suffer

Excellent model

Advantages: It copes well with both Hollyeda and with snowy drifts, low noise, competitive price.
Disadvantages: Not yet.
Comment: I bought an I-Pike Hankuk on replacing. Very pleased. The season is suitable for both the city and for a lot. For two years, not a single spike has not lost, although anything happened. He began to flee away after the second winter. I do not regret that I took this model, four cylinders along with installation cost 10280 rubles. Recommend.

Bad model

Experience: more than a year

Advantages: Beautiful tread pattern, spikes do not fly out
Disadvantages: Very soft, no course stability, clarity in turns, although the machine and predictable. The main drawback is a weak sidewall, just - the cones immediately get out. He darned into the tireage to carry them, despite the fact that in winter I go a little. Doubtful coupling qualities. About operating experience below.
Comment: Cheap yokohama, 8Tyr. For the kit purchased in 2013. Parameters 175/65 / R14. Machine - Toyota AE101, front-wheel drive, automatic, 160 forces. For my meager experience of its operation (4 winters, of which 2 almost completely stood the car in the garage), the overall mileage of thousand 5 seats. One of the wheels broke through, descended. Bare is not an option, only welding. On the second a year ago the bump got out, you can say spontaneously, because Visually damage was not - strengthened and brewed in a tire fitting, but the tubercle remained in this place. And on the third wheel a small bump, good in size is not growing yet. I try to ride carefully, but it does not help with our roads. Smell-another miss anyway. Regarding the coupling properties on the snow and the ice, it is a feeling that the car is 100,500 forces - you just give the brass - grinds and does not go, possibly too narrow. Due to the high profile and softness, the car swings decently, you feel the eyes that the car goes on the desired trajectory, and the body is shed to the left-right. Rebuildings and a keyboard, respectively, too languid (it is on dry asphalt, in the winter it is not particularly charged, you can fly away) noise, as well as any winter hips, compare on your car yet with nothing. The tread wear is practically no, but it is not relevant to my mileage. Manufacturer - Philippines, just in case. Can levak some.

Good model

Experience: more than a year

Advantages: Soft, good rowing.
Disadvantages: Spikes fly out. The second season is 50% left by the end

Excellent model

Experience: more than a year

Advantages: Good grip with an expensive, the second season there is no problem.
Disadvantages: not detected
Comment: In general, positive sensations from rubber.

Terrible model

Experience: a few months

Advantages: On dry asphalt and in the snow inhibits adequately
Disadvantages: Rubber with autocata pumping spikes
Comment: There is no lamella, the solid central strip on the ice does not hold at all, the spikes jump off. Now, if I do not, the resulting is good. But when the road is sprinkled with reagents and then do not clean - this is necessary for such a soap kaha, it is impossible to ride: on the turns at 20 km / h, it strives to the opposite to leave. On the drive there is a review and video, on YouTube, too, as I spent 50 meters from the speed of 50km / h (I experimented the pedal to the floor)

Good model

Experience: a few months

Advantages: Soft enough. Not noisy. Spikes are all in place.
Disadvantages: With sharp braking, slightly takes on ice.

The first and second place is occupied by the long-standing competitors - Nokian and "Continental", almost annually updating their products. Prices (3700 rubles) are almost the same, but since Nokian HakkaPeliitta 7 (in Russian execution) by the amount of indicators a little better Continental ContiCecontact, then the price / quality ratio of "Russian Finns" (3.9) is a bit more attractive than that of the "Germans "(4.0).

Another product of the domestic production of Michelin X-Ice North 2 is tightly on the third position, although the model is no longer new. The price tag is slightly lower - 3300 rubles. Because the price / quality ratio turned out to be slightly tastier: 3.6.

Older Gislaved Nordfrost 5 (3200 rubles) in value is fourth. However, in our tests, he typing 892 points occupies a sixth position and in terms of price / quality ratio (3.6) is on a par with Mischlen. In our opinion, the people of this model buys more in the habit, taking into account the good reputation of the predecessors. And the real price should be even lower.

The next price in the price rating is Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000 (2900 rubles). Fresh model is very modest characteristic for our winter. Therefore, it takes only an eighth position with the result of 829 points, although according to the price / quality ratio, equal to 3.5, lies very close to the "Michelin" and "Gislaved." Apparently, for a well-promoted brand, our buyers are ready to pay more. However, many appreciate the heightened hernifestability, helps confidently ride on the roads. Our opinion - these tires should be cheaper.

ICOGUD ICOGUD IG35 products (2800 rubles) are traditionally slightly cheaper "Bridgestone", although according to characteristics it is almost no inferior (828 points and ninth place in the final list). Accordingly, the price / quality ratio (3.4) is more attractive. We consider the price tag again overestimated. Buyers with reverence refer to the Japanese brand, but at its tires it is: "Made in the Philippines." Another reason for popularity is to participate in WTCC racing.

Winter Carving Edge from Pielli for 2700 rubles. In terms of cost only in the seventh place. But following the results of the test, "Italians" scored 912 points and entered the first five rating of SP. Very good result, and the price / quality ratio is less than that of all top tires - 3.0. Respect! By the way, problems with loss of ships went to the past.

Cheaper you can buy Korean Kumho I'zen KW22 and Russian Nordman 4 - 2400 rubles. "Russian" on the results of the test is clearly attractive: 913 points and fourth position, and therefore the ratio of price / quality is 2.6. A very interesting and advantageous product.

Cordiant Sno-Max of domestic development is even cheaper - 2200 rubles. Position in the test (852 points and seventh place) worthy of respect - the model surpassed import tires from the eastern manufacturers. Value for money - 2.6.

The cheapest tires are Kama Irbis (or 505), they can be bought in less than 2000 rubles. a piece. In the test, they were not shown even up to 800 points, typing only 776. The last century cannot be called them - the model appeared six years ago, simultaneously with Gislaved NF 5, but according to the characteristics, it is clearly not corresponding to the current level. I foresee the question: why did not test the latest models of Kama EURO 518 and 519? Alas, in the most popular winter dimension of 175 / 65R14, they are simply not released by limiting the old model.

TEST RESULTS
Note: So far lack test results in some disciplines.

Table of expert estimates

Final result: 944 points The debut took place in 2008, from 2009 - in Russia. At the beginning of this year, once again upgraded in the composition of rubber and geometry of spikes. Coupling properties are very well balanced. Longitudinal on ice and snow are almost the best. Cross on ice - very good, better only from "Gislavda". On the snow - above average. On the snow-covered road, it goes smoothly, without comments, it is sensitive to the direction adjustment. Slightly improve informativeness on the steering wheel - and you can put nine points. In the turns, the predetermined trajectory of the front wheels is clearly prescribed, and the rear clings are slightly worse, causing insignificant excess turning. But add enough to add gas, and the car is screwed into the turn of any curvature. Deep snow is not afraid, easy maneuver. If the car rested the bumper into an irresistible snowdrift, it will not be difficult to get out. On asphalt, too, do not hide. At high speed, it goes smoothly, inhibit the hare and wet well. There is no comments for acoustic comfort and smoothness. By fuel economy, the leading position holds both at 90 and at 60 km / h. Speaking of spikes close to the limit of reasonable. Not a single spike. Excellent brake qualities and best overclocking in the snow and ice, high transverse clutch on the snow and passability. Good course stability on any winter road. High level of comfort, economical. Not noted. Verdict: add confidence and driving on any winter roads. Assist to save fuel at any speed.
Final result: 927 points They saw the light in 2010 and immediately appeared in Russia. The coming year has updated the rubber and the design of spikes. According to exemplary coupling properties, there are leading positions in all exercises on ice and snow, with the exception of the ice circle. It is not quite smooth in the winterer, tangible pulling the car into a deeper snow, slightly slide on the transverse slopes. The steering wheel is not informative enough. Managed not bad, but with some features. In steep turns, the speed is limited by the demolition of the front axle, and in gentle, more high-speed turns show a tendency to a rescued drift, which is better to parry at small corners, not giving to develop. The snowdrifts are not afraid, but require a certain driving style: do not like intensive bucking, preferring the movement of the sweat. They are not always able to rescue the car from a snowy cape by reverse. On the asphalt, the course holds without comments. Brokes on dry and wet road very well, passing forward only child "Gislaved". Comfortable - no noise noise. But little shook the car on irregularities. Fuel consumption is modest, along with "Mischlen", "Nordman", "Pirelli" and "Iokoham". During the tests, the speech of the spikes has not changed, a good quality. The best braking and acceleration on the snow and ice, transverse clutch on the snow. Very good cross grip on ice and braking on dry and wet asphalt. Minor comments to the course stability on the snow-covered road, to the passability in the deep snow and smoothness. Verdict: Low on any winter roads.
Final result: 921 score Appeared in 2009. From the same moment on the Russian market. Have a good balance of coupling properties. Overclocking on a winter road confident in any modes, slipping when the speed set does not reduce its effectiveness. On the snow-covered road, exactly, stable, not paying attention to the thickness of the snow cover, irregularities and transverse slopes, are sensitive to the direction adjustment. Behavior when turning turns on snow and ice is understandable and well predictable; Easy insufficient turning (mild demolition of the front in the limit) together with immediate responses to the steering steering. In deep snow, feel confidently, in the move prefers a bounce. Even if the car crashes on the belly, in most cases will still take out. The asphalt will not be saved. At good speed in a straight line, go smoothly, without delay, respond to the course adjustment. Braking on dry and wet road is good. Comfortable. Quite quiet, except that there is a slightly different way on the asphalt of different quality. There is no complaints about the smoothness. Fuel consumption is modest. Speaking of spikes normally, its growth rate during testing is insignificant. This speaks about the good quality of the misfortune. Good braking and acceleration, transverse coupling properties on snow and ice. Small fuel consumption. Not noted. Verdict: give confidence on any winter roads and winter off-road.
Final result: 913 points The model was established in 2009, from that time is sold in Russia. The composition of the mixture was updated this winter. For the coupling properties of the tires are similar to Mishlenov. They are good on ice and snow along longitudinal and transverse coupling properties, and at the rearrangement turned out to be even faster than their progenitor "Nokian". The straight is slightly floating, demanding a constant direction adjustment - kept in voltage. In rapid turns, the machine is easier to control the gas than the steering wheel: the reset is responsible for screwing, when adding the radius increases. Snow tick overcome without problems. Reversely are confidently chosen from any snowdrift. Feature: Predict soft, without slipping Trogan, from the spot. And on the go, you can get gas out gas as much as you like, it even helps. More gas is better! On the asphalt line the same features as on the snowy road. Minor deviations from a given direction requiring constant infringement. Braking on wet asphalt is good, on dry - average. Noise level is higher than more expensive relatives, and the smoothness of the same. Fuel consumption is modest at any speed. Speaking of spikes and changes in its magnitude normal. During the test test, the tires lost three spikes from the front tires, but it is hardly critical. Good brake quality on snow, ice and wet asphalt, overclocking on snow and ice. Excellent cross grip in the snow and permeability. Good handling on the winter road, modest fuel consumption. Minor comments to the course stability on a snowy road and asphalt, to noise. Verdict: suitable for any winter roads and winter off-road.
Final result: 912 points Created in 2008, since then they have repeatedly upgraded them. The last time - at the beginning of this year. The brake properties in the snow are the best, on ice mediocre, and the transverse clutch on that and on other coatings is also average. Acceleration is good, and on any coating. However, it is effective only when driving in a latitude. On the snow-covered straight bus surprised by a clear rate, sensitive asphalt reactions and low raw beam angles when the direction is adjusted. Any turns pass with pleasure - to understand the car helps a dense, informative steering wheel and immediate reactions, as well as close to neutral turning. Deep snow is better to overcome the move. Upon the tire of the tire fails slightly, although the tendency to self-concealing does not show. The back of the car is chosen confident. On the asphalt the same clear course, as on summer tires. Tight steering wheel and small angles when correction of the course. Braking on wet coating average, dry - frankly bad. Tires are voiced by shifting coating and grungy asphalt, diligently transmit pushes from irregularities. Fuel consumption is modest. Speaking of spikes is normal, the change in its magnitude is not critical. Lost only one spike. Best braking in the snow, good overclocking on ice and snow, cross grip on ice. Modest fuel consumption, excellent handling and course stability on any road. Weak brake properties on a dry road. Minor comments to the patency in deep snow and comfort. Verdict: They will show their best qualities in highway modes on any winter roads.
Final result: 892 points Another one of the old people - the model was created back in 2006, since then sold in Russia. This winter has updated the mixture. Longitudinal coupling properties in the snow and ice are average, but the transverse on the snow are very good, and on the ice - the best. It is necessary to accelerate on the verge of bucking - so more efficient. On the snow-covered road, it goes smoothly, but "zero" on the steering wheel is empty, informativeness is missing. Comments to charture of minor. There is no complaints to the initial phase of the claim, but on the arc, the speed is limited to demolition, then driving - this ambiguity is noticeably straining. In deep snow require minimal slip, the latitude are confident. Back selected easily. On the asphalt, the course is smooth, without comments, but also without sings. In brake disciplines, the best and dry surfaces and wet. The comfort is standard, although it is noted on the asphalt and dense snow. Fuel consumption is above average at any speed. Speaking of spikes is normal, during the tests, the average value has grown within the limits of allowed, that is, the quality of the misfortunes is good. But during the tests of the tire lost five spikes. Last year, only two fell. The trend is alarming: before, he had not been noticed for "histmouncement". The best brake properties on dry and wet asphalt, the best transverse clutch on ice, very good - in the snow. High level of comfort, good course stability on any road. Medium overclocking on any coating, fuel consumption at any speed above average, minor comments to manageability, loss of five spikes. Verdict: It will show their best properties in the first place on well-purified roads, but do not save on iced and snow-covered.
Final result: 852 points The debut took place in 2008. On the icing road against the background of medium acceleration and transverse clutch, inhibit mediocre. In the snow, the align is more logical: weak acceleration and satisfactory transverse clutch are completely rolled with good braking. Decent acceleration is only in a latitude. On the snow-covered straight, digs from side to side. It is quite difficult to handle, since feedback is no informative. In rapid turns, the speed is limited by demolition. Moreover, the slide is tightened, the recovery of the clutch has to wait long. According to the snowdrifts, they are swaying confidently, moving in any modes, do not require driving in any modes. On asphalt, it is possible to quickly drive with great care, - swimming within the band forces the driver to constantly adjust the course. Significant corners of the steering wheel and its insufficient informativeness are prevented. Braking on dry and wet coatings good, the results are comparable to the "Nokian" shown. Comfort does not differ: loudly noisy, thumps on irregularities, voiced the coating change. About saving fuel will have to forget. Fuel consumption at a speed of 60 km / h medium, at 90 - elevated. Speaking of thorns within the normal range, the rates of its growth too. Lost spikes are not. Good braking in the snow, on dry and wet asphalt, permeability. Mediocre brake quality on ice, overclocking in the snow, cross grip on ice. Increased fuel consumption at 90 km / h, low course stability on asphalt. Verdict: For snow-covered, slightly iced and purified roads.
Final result: 829 points Like "Iokohama", the most recent model. The year of birth they have one, 2010, but Bridgestone in Russia sold only since 2011. On ice is very uncertain overclocking, satisfactory brake properties and cross-clutch. In the snow, the longitudinal grip is frankly weak. On acceleration loses the course with the slightest slip, in which they break very unexpectedly. We go along the snow-covered road Exactly, there are no comments to the course stability. It is useless to rush in the turns on the winter road: the speed on ice is limited by a drift, coming suddenly and requiring immediate adjustment. In the snow, the machine straightens the trajectory, and the turn slides overly long. In the snowdrifts, the movement is not sufficient enough, it is better not to be touched, the thread is chosen quite confident. On the asphalt slightly floating, directional delays and low informativeness interfere with the direction of direction. Brokes well and dry, and on wet asphalt. It is noisy very much, an unpleasant hum and howl is made on asphalt and even on ice. Any road irregularities respond with excessive vertical accelerations. Fuel consumption elevated at any speed. The magnitude of the speakers of spikes and the pace of its change is normal. Lost spikes are not. Good braking on dry and wet asphalt, course stability on a snow-covered road. Weak brake qualities on the snow, overclocking on the snow and ice, cross grip on the snow. Increased fuel consumption, strong noise, complex handling on the winter road.
Final result: 828 points On ice, longitudinal coupling properties are very weak, transverse - medium. In the snow, the balance is a bit different: overclocking and transverse properties are satisfactory, and the braking is bad. You can face the machine from the place with a bounce, then it is better to stop it, as you manage to dial the speed, only moving the sweat. On the snow-covered road, the car is growing greatly, strives to leave the trajectory toward the deep snow. In turn behavior, the behavior is clearer, the steering wheel is dense, understandable, initial reactions are immediate. However, the speed on any coating is limited to the drift. Deep snow does not like, with difficulty moving forward, thread get out of the snow, it is unlikely to succeed. On asphalt, too, hurry should not be rushing: digging, requiring constant adjustment, large steering angles and "rubber" stabilization with fading rear axis in one, then in the other direction. On a dry road, it stops very well, on the wet brake path the largest. Comfort leaves much to be desired - strongly shake on any irregularities. It was noisy even on ice and in the snow. Fuel consumption is small. The spikes, in our opinion, are unnecessarily bueled, the low coupling properties on the ice are partially explained by this. The growth rate of speakers in the norm, not lost. Good braking on dry asphalt, moderate fuel consumption. Mediocre braking properties on the snow and ice, the weakest overclocking on ice and braking on the wet asphalt. Low term stability on a snow-covered road and asphalt, bad permeability. Verdict: for purified, partially snow-covered and slightly iced roads.
Final result: 823 points Appeared in 2008, a year later began to be sold in Russia. Longitudinal coupling properties on iced road weak, transverse - average. In the snow, overclocking satisfactory, braking and transverse clutch are weak. Troce from the place is better "whisper", with acceleration permissible slightly bounce. On the snow-covered straight line go smoothly, without comments. In the snow, the behavior of the car is not very clear - demolition outside or drift and care. The transition to sliding sharp and unexpected. Slip length. On Ice, the behavior is more stable: only skid, but very sharp. In deep snow, falling at the Trokhan and strive to bury. It is better to get a battery, move - with a light slip. It is not necessary to get involved in the movement in a virgin: you can go there, where to get out of the reverse move. On the asphalt straight, it is well held, however, when the direction is adjusted, delays in reactions are strained. Brake properties on wet asphalt average, and dry is the worst. He is greatly buzzing and spent, on irregularities, they are tangible. Fuel consumption is small at any speed. Speaking of spikes and its change within the normal range. Small fuel consumption, good course stability on a snow-covered road, satisfactory - on asphalt, good smoothness. Mediocre braking properties on ice and snow, transverse clutch on the snow. The weakest brake features on dry asphalt. Complex handling on the winter road, increased noise, weak passability. The verdict: suitable for purified, partially snow-covered and slightly iced roads.
Final result: 776 points Together with "Gislaveda" was born in 2006. On Ice coupling properties - both transverse, and longitudinal are the weakest. In the snow, the longitudinal grip is simply no. And the transverse is very weak. Overclocking is problematic, it is necessary not to break the wheels in the stopping, otherwise it is impossible to dial the speed. On a snowy road, you should go slowly: the car is growing hard on irregularities, seeks to go to the roadside, in deeper snow. The steering wheel is empty and non-informative, as in computer racing. In the corners, the car goes, as it swings, as if the steering wheel is disconnected from the wheels. It can break out or break into the skid and finish the movement of turn. Considerable lags exacerbate the situation, huge branch turning angles and slipped slides. Movement on the snowdrifts is possible only in the dash, without stopping. An attempt to move leads to selflessness. Reverse move moves uncertainty. On the asphalt float, requiring constant adjustment. Brokes on the wet very weakly, on dry medium. For comfort better forget. Strong noises, shocks and vibrations even where the road looks smooth. Fuel consumption at 60 km / h above average, 90 - elevated. The protrusion of the spikes and the rate of its growth in permissible limits. Lost spikes are not. Medium brake properties on the snow and dry asphalt. The weakest brakes on ice, acceleration and transverse clutch on ice and snow. Weak brake properties on wet asphalt. Problem challenge on slippery coating, poor course stability on a snow-covered road. Strong noise, very rigid tires, increased fuel consumption. Verdict: not allowed for well-purified roads.
