The Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic SCT winter tire is a special version of the same model for passenger cars. Its "target audience" is car owners who highly value the level of acoustic comfort in such products. This property is one of the key advantages of this tire.
The reduced noise level is ensured by the sound-insulating properties of the polyurethane foam layer applied to the inner side of the tire. The elastic and porous material absorbs a significant part of the noise and vibrations that occur when the tire rolls and rubs against the road surface.
Another significant advantage of the model is the shortened stopping distance on snow and ice. This is largely due to the use of original triangular-shaped studs. They are installed in such a way that the longest edge of the insert works most effectively when decelerating. Additionally, the studs are arranged in such a way that when the wheel rotates, they form 22 continuous longitudinal rows.
The design of the tread pattern is directional with long, inclined, intersecting drainage grooves. Their edges allow maintaining directional stability and high traction properties on snow. In turn, the numerous lamellae with so-called "waffle" internal engagement and the elastic outer layer of the tread provide the tire with excellent grip on icy surfaces.
