Like most other representatives of this line, the Goodyear UltraGrip Ice winter tire was specifically designed for countries located near the Arctic Circle. Its design is perfectly suited for operation in real winter conditions. This is why this model is characterized by excellent performance on ice and snow. In addition, the developers were able to give it almost all the "signature" features of Goodyear's tire products, from high resistance to aquaplaning to fuel efficiency.
Maximum grip on any winter roads
This model is equipped with one of the versions of the famous V-Tred tread, which has been used by the North American manufacturer for several decades. On this tire, it is distinguished by small block sizes in the central part and wide shoulder areas. This is due to the fact that each of these tread areas performs a strictly defined set of tasks. In particular, the central part of the tread is "responsible" for longitudinal traction characteristics and directional stability at high speeds. In turn, the shoulder areas, whose blocks are arranged transversely and have massive sizes, increase grip when turning and braking, and also improve snow passability.
Short braking distance on ice
In the absence of spikes, this model does not become helpless on icy roads. On the contrary, it demonstrates more than confident behavior on them. It is provided by several thousand additional edges of grip. All of them are formed by lamellas. Since these tread elements are arranged transversely, they demonstrate the greatest efficiency when accelerating and braking.
Key features of Goodyear UltraGrip Ice
- a large number of small blocks in the center of the tread improve traction on snow;
- wide blocks in the shoulder areas prevent slipping when turning, reduce braking distance, increase resistance to uneven wear, and improve handling;
- several thousand lamellas, creating a corresponding number of grip edges, reduce the length of the braking distance on ice.
