The IceGuard iG50 Plus from Yokohama is a new generation winter tire designed to minimize fuel consumption and last longer. The grip on snow and ice is also improved, as is the braking distance (7% better than the iG50Plus), thanks to the new asymmetrical tread pattern and the new rubber compound: larger contact surface, differently arranged block rigidity on the outside and inside of the tire, more numerous micro-sipes, wider longitudinal and transverse grooves, etc.; super absorbent rubber composed of micro bubbles and special absorption gel.
