The Goodyear Cargo UltraGrip G124 winter tire is designed for installation on any axle of light commercial vehicles, from light trucks to passenger vans. Thanks to a range of proprietary technologies, this model provides excellent traction on any winter surface while maintaining high economic efficiency in operation.
Original tread pattern design
Since the tire was initially designed for use on commercial vehicles, it could not help but affect its design. One of the specific features was the tread pattern, which has a number of original technical solutions.
It consists of many separate blocks of trapezoidal shape, arranged in a checkerboard pattern and forming a kind of five longitudinal ribs, including two shoulder zones. Thanks to this solution, the company's specialists were able to saturate the contact patch with a huge number of differently directed gripping edges, thus providing excellent traction even in the most unfavorable conditions.
Excellent directional stability
To ensure maximum directional stability, North American tire makers have placed larger blocks in the central part of the tread. Due to their massiveness, these tread elements have high resistance to deformations that occur when the tire is moving. As a result, the Goodyear Cargo UltraGrip G124 tire demonstrates not only excellent directional stability but also clear and transparent responses to steering wheel control. Additionally, due to the minimal placement of tread blocks in the central part, it was possible to significantly reduce rolling resistance, which had a very beneficial effect on fuel consumption.
Unisteel technology
This tire can absolutely painlessly withstand operation even on very poor roads. This was achieved thanks to the use of Unisteel technology. Due to the multi-layer steel cord, the tire has high strength and the ability to effectively absorb shocks from the road surface when driving over bumps.
Excellent resistance to aquaplaning and slushplaning
Thanks to the large number of tread blocks, the tire has a very effective drainage system. Due to the large number of water drainage channels, as well as their significant volume, the tire easily copes with the removal of not only water but also more heavy snow masses from the contact patch.
Main features of the Goodyear Cargo Ultragrip G124 tire
- the possibility of studding allows, if necessary, to provide excellent traction on ice;
- a multitude of separate blocks of trapezoidal shape provides the contact patch with an endless number of gripping edges, allowing you to confidently move on snowy roads;
- massive blocks in the central part of the tread, spaced at a minimum distance from each other, provide excellent directional stability, precise and easy handling, as well as reduced rolling resistance;
- Unisteel technology has given the tire increased strength and reliability;
- excellent resistance to aquaplaning and slushplaning due to the block structure of the tread pattern.
