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.
