Despite the intense competition among winter tires, the Goodyear UltraGrip Extreme Hexa is able to outperform most of them thanks to its balanced operational characteristics and attractive cost. This model is beneficially distinguished by its excellent traction and coupling properties not only on ice and snow, but also on cleared asphalt.
Central Arrow-Shaped Rib
The longitudinal rib located in the central part of the tread pattern features an original arrow-shaped design, which gives this element additional functionality. The combination of a continuous structure and numerous multidirectional edges allows it to improve several operational characteristics, including maneuverability and directional stability. First and foremost, this applies to snow traction and handling. At the same time, stability remains when the properties of the road surface change continuously.
Reliability on Ice
The tread of this model is equipped with 3D-BIS lamellas, which look exactly like their regular straight counterparts. There are more differences in their walls, which have a complex polygonal configuration. This provides them with the ability to fix the lamellas in an open position when contacting the road. The straight shape of the edges formed by them gives the coupling properties on ice additional stability and reliability. The same words can be used to characterize the studs of this model. They are arranged in such a way that four continuous rows are formed on each side of the tread, which has a positive effect on traction and handling when driving on icy roads.
