Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 2+ 215/50 R17 95T

The Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 2+ winter tire is an excellent choice for owners of passenger cars that are mainly used in urban and suburban road conditions. The model is characterized by improved traction on cleared, wet, and snowy asphalt roads, demonstrating effective braking and reliable handling in such conditions.

The tire's tread has a two-layer structure. The lower layer is made of a rigid compound that limits the mobility of the tread blocks, improving the stability of the traction properties and increasing the accuracy of handling at high speeds and during dynamic maneuvers. The outer layer, which is in direct contact with the road surface, is made of a rubber mixture with increased elasticity. This allows the tread to more closely fit all irregularities, especially at low temperatures. As a result, the tire grips the road surface much better.

The tread pattern is filled with hundreds of narrow slits. The wavy lamellas form numerous sharp edges that the tire uses to effectively transmit traction and braking forces to the road surface, especially on rolled-out snow. The "three-dimensional" profile of the vertical walls of the slits allows them to be fixed in an open position and limits the mobility of the blocks in which they are cut. This solution gives the traction properties stability and provides accuracy in handling, especially when the tire is skidding.

The V-shaped drainage grooves expand as they approach the shoulder areas. The increased width of these elements improves the tire's traction on snow, allowing for intense acceleration and deceleration on such surfaces. The direction of the drainage grooves against the direction of motion ensures the rapid removal of not only water but also much heavier snow and mud mixtures from under the tire.

Main Features of Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 2+

- The two-layer compound provides balanced driving qualities without deteriorating any of them;
- Wavy "three-dimensional" lamellas allow for intense acceleration and deceleration on any slippery surface;
- Expanded drainage grooves in the shoulder areas improve traction properties on snow.
