The Yokohama iceGUARD Stud IG65 is a premium studded winter tyre designed specifically for passenger cars and premium vehicles, suitable for harsh winter conditions in Northern Europe and Russia. This directional tyre features an enhanced stud design with 158 to 172 studs depending on size, strategically placed throughout the tread including the central area for improved ice traction and reliable stud retention.

The iceGUARD Stud IG65 is recommended for winter driving in regions requiring studded tyres, offering a balance of ice performance and winter safety for premium passenger vehicles. Load ratings range from 86T for compact sizes to 102T for larger fitments, supporting various passenger car weights and configurations.
