The Goodyear Cargo UltraGrip 2 tire in a studded version is installed on a wide range of light commercial vehicles used for commercial purposes. The model has increased grip on winter roads, provides stability of the vehicle during maneuvering, eliminates the risk of hydroplaning, and is also characterized by fuel efficiency.
The tread pattern has a pronounced directionality. In the central part, there are blocks of medium size, which are supplemented with wavy lamellas. This structure performs several functions at once. Firstly, grip, both with icy, wet, and dry roads. In this, the studding plays a huge role, located in the lateral zone. Secondly, the speed of removal of water and snow masses. Due to this, the risk of aquaplaning and slushing is eliminated. Thirdly, the special arrangement of blocks guarantees acoustic comfort.
The lateral zone contains large blocks of increased stiffness, which contribute to maintaining controllability during maneuvering, excluding skidding.
To prevent breaks and deformations when working with large loads, the Unisteel technology was used in the tire. It implies the use of a woven metal ring that takes on the main load.
The model is well adapted to work in difficult winter conditions with very low temperature readings. This is largely ensured by the composition of the compound, which contains silica. This component neutralizes the effect of negative temperatures, allowing the rubber to remain elastic and strong. This factor increases the service life and makes the tire economically advantageous for commercial use.
