The Goodyear UltraGrip 6 tire cannot be attributed to new products, however, despite the presence of the next generation model on sale, it still remains in demand among domestic owners of passenger cars. Its popularity is due to excellent operational characteristics, as well as a balanced balance between them, thanks to which this tire lacks any "weak points".
V-Tred Tread
Like many other winter models from Goodyear, this tire is equipped with a tread created using V-Tred technology, which appeared several decades ago. In the version created specifically for this model, it differs from the open design, containing many separate blocks of a quadrangular shape. They are arranged in such a way that during movement they form many very long edges of adhesion. Each of them starts in the central part of the tread, and ends - in its shoulder areas. Together with their location at a large angle, this gives the tire excellent stability and stability of adhesive properties, especially on slippery winter surfaces.
Excellent efficiency when accelerating and braking
The shoulder areas of the tread of this tire contain wider blocks than in the central part. They are arranged transversely, which, in combination with the previous feature, gives the tire stability and increased adhesion in turns, and also - stable and reliable behavior when accelerating and braking, especially on snow.
Lamellas instead of spikes
Most of the adhesive edges that the tread pattern has are formed not by blocks, but by lamellas cut into them. In combination with their huge number, this allows you to fully compensate for the lack of spikes, providing reliable adhesion on ice and rolled snow.
Main features of the Goodyear UltraGrip 6 tire
- V-Tred tread provides excellent adhesion and directional stability on any winter roads;
- open design of the tread pattern with a large number of blocks improves passability on snow;
- a large number of lamellas increases adhesive properties on ice and rolled snow, and their wavy shape - resistance to lateral skidding.
