Some drivers of passenger cars and minivans might want a set of dependable winter tires to drive on roads covered with snow or ice when the temperature is below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. In that case, the Yokohama iceGUARD iG53 could be a great choice for cars like Ford Edge, Mazda CX-5, and similar others. The iceGUARD iG53 comes with an advanced tread design that features 3D sipes for improved traction and stability on snow-covered roads. The zigzag-shaped circumferential grooves on the tread create more biting edges for increased grip on snow, while the new-gen absorptive tread compound is optimized to remove water film from the ice-covered surfaces to provide additional grip and control to the vehicle. For a commanding grip on snow and ice, the tread also features micra diagonal grooves. Likewise, the unique uni-directional tread design and wider footprint of the iceGUARD iG53 winter tire increase the contact area and grip for a responsive handling performance. The tire also sports two layers of rubber placed under the tread that increase stiffness to reduce the rolling resistance and increase fuel efficiency.
