The Goodyear Ultragrip Arctic 2 SCT winter tire, like its predecessor, is designed for operation in regions located north of the Arctic Circle. It stands out for its improved traction and grip properties on any slippery surfaces, efficient braking on ice, and high level of acoustic comfort.
One of the key innovations in the tire is the application of the Eagle Clow Stad technology. The unique shape of the tungsten carbide stud, similar to an eagle's claw, increases the effectiveness of deceleration on icy surfaces - if you believe the tests, the braking distance in such conditions is approximately 13% shorter than that of the next best tire from competing brands. It's worth noting the significant increase in the number of studs on the tread - up to 220 pieces, depending on the size. Another innovation is the Snow Grip technology. The increased width of the grooves and the number of blocks with sharp high edges improves traction and grip properties on snowy surfaces.
Key features of the Goodyear Ultragrip Arctic 2 SCT
- studs with an eagle's claw-shaped insert increase the effectiveness of braking on ice;
- increased groove width and numerous small blocks with sharp high edges provide reliable grip on snow;
- optimized stud placement and the presence of a special cushion under each of them enhance acoustic comfort.
