Toyo OBSERVE G3-ICE
Lapland meets us with a blinding sun. “Who is it standing there? Ah, these hot Finnish guys are running!”This joke to some extent illustrates the rhythm of life in the snowy Ivalo. The Sámi people have been living on this land for more than 10 thousand years, and they are proud that no other such indigenous people can be found in the European Union.

The bright sun creates the illusion of comfort. In the morning, the thermometer at the Test World test site showed -30 ° C. By lunchtime, the temperature rose by 8 degrees.

The government of the country in every possible way cultivates their self-identity. In prime time, a local TV channel broadcasts a report on the change of director in the museum of local lore, rather than a crime chronicle. The newspaper "Saariselka" (including in Russian!) Informs tourists about the upcoming Royal races on reindeer. By the way, the visiting guest, reinforcing the desire with a hard currency, can go on a safari on domestic deer or huskies.

Symmetrical directional tread pattern well removes water and slush from the contact spot. The supporting center rib gives the tire stability and improves lateral grip. The shoulder areas have a unique linear intersecting design for better handling on ice and snow. The tire will not clog with snow and slush. The symmetrical directional tread pattern removes water and slush well from the contact patch. The supporting center rib gives the tire stability and improves lateral grip. The shoulder areas have a unique linear intersecting design for better handling on ice and snow. The tire will not clog with snow and slush. The symmetrical V-shaped pattern is responsible for removing water and slush from the contact patch. Stability and lateral grip are maintained by the supporting central rib. Sawtooth blocks on the shoulder areas reinforce the "grip" on the snow.
The Finns managed to monetize their small north so that the flow of foreigners does not stop here. Who would have thought that the Japanese of all ages would go to distant lands to … have sex. It turns out that in the country of samurai it is believed that a child conceived under the northern lights will certainly be lucky in life … Shinnikov polar Finland attracts even more. The local test sites are equipped to modern standards. In combination with a cold climate, they create ideal conditions for running in a pre-production tire.

However, the studding Toyo Observe G3-Ice is already quite serial and even certified for Russian roads. The tread of this tire is made of a soft mixture of rubber with the addition of natural rubber, silica and walnut shells. According to the manufacturer, shell microparticles help increase traction on slippery surfaces. To show it in action, Toyo representatives prepared two groups of cars - the Audi A6 and Volkswagen Golf. Inside, each team was further divided: some were “shod” in a Japanese novelty, and others in the “seventh” Hakkapeliitta.
Toyo Observe G3-Ice
The first exercise is a “snake” on a perfectly flat ice surface. I sit in an all-wheel drive "six" with a Japanese tire. At speeds up to 40 km / h, the car is quite confidently controlled. A little faster - and both axes begin to slide on the outside of the turn. I'm changing the car, now I'm going to the Hakka. Before reaching 40 km / h, feed A6 breaks into an unpleasant skid, despite the chirping of ESP. I try again - the situation repeats …

The next test is acceleration-braking at the Golfs. When braking "on the floor" on ice at a speed of 60 km / h, the Finnish tire loses to the Japanese about half the body of the car. Only on a snowy track "Hakkapelita" takes revenge. Both tires allow you to pass the track at a fairly decent speed. But as soon as the car gets on the rolled part of the road, you immediately feel the advantage of the "nut" tire on ice. What is the secret?

Russian dealers, for whom for the most part this event was organized, also for a long time could not believe in the superiority of "Japanese shoes." Some pros felt that the spike on the G3-Ice protrudes above the surface more than the required 1.2 mm norm. However, due to the lack of measuring instruments, this could not be verified. The situation will become clearer when the winter tire rolls along Russian roads. Without cracking a nut, as they say, you will not recognize its taste.
