Yokohama iceGUARD IG53 Tires
The Yokohama iceGUARD IG53 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The winter traction is ensured with the detailed directional tread design and the winter compound. The siping details firmly grip ice- and snow-covered roads, boosting performance. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning, which improves wet and winter traction.
The ideal tread design and the two-layer rubber compound allow the tire to ease the driving pressure off the tire, minimizing the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure that determines the vehicle’s fuel intake levels. Lowering it, decreases the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. This results in a better fuel economy throughout the performance.
The Yokohama iceGUARD IG53 boosts controllability. The ideal tread design ensures steering responsiveness and driving stability with better road contact. This results in safer handling by increasing the driver’s full control over the vehicle. The wide shoulder block placement improves the cornering and maneuvering capability with extra biting edges. The durable construction and the strong compound keep the ideal tire shape under driving pressure, which allows the tire to perfectly perform in cold winter weather conditions. The ideal tread design with siping detail, the strong construction, and the special compound promote a secure driving experience.
- ControllabilityThe tread elements, with the zigzag grooves and extra biting edges, actively boost handling, cornering, and braking capability.
- Winter tireThe detailed tread element and the winter compound boost the ice, wet, and snow-covered road traction, and prevent hydroplaning.
- Fuel efficiencyThe two-layer rubber placement increases the stiffness and strengthens the tire, which lowers the rolling resistance and improves fuel economy.
