2022/23 Tire Reviews Studless Winter Tire Test

5th of 9 tires

• Best snow braking on test, reasonable ice traction, good aquaplaning resistance, low rolling resistance.
• Very long wet braking with difficult wet handling, longest dry braking on test, average ice performance, high internal noise.
• The Yokohama Iceguard IG53 peaked in snow braking where it had a surprise win, but that was the only standout result. It had the longest braking in the wet and dry, it was mid pack on ice and has the noisiest tire on test. It did however have one of the lowest rolling resistances on test. A tire like this is certainly a better buy than a tire like the Federal, but it still sits behind the rest of the group.
