Goodyear Ultragrip Performance GEN-1 + ST

The Goodyear Ultragrip Performance GEN-1 + ST winter tire for passenger cars belongs to the so-called "friction" models. It was developed specifically for territories with a very cold climate. On any winter roads, it demonstrates high efficiency when braking, excellent for its category, excellent passability on deep snow, and comfortable handling in difficult road conditions.

The tread pattern contains a large number of small blocks. This allows the tire to demonstrate reliable coupling properties on snow. The drainage grooves located between the elements have a significant slope, they intersect with each other in the central part. This solution increases the accuracy of control and directional stability, especially on slippery surfaces.

On icy pavement, the tire remains sticky and reliable in handling. This is due to the presence of several thousand wavy lamellas. Narrow slits form sharp edges, with which the tire literally bites into the icy road surface. The effectiveness of the tread in these conditions is significantly increased by the elasticity of the silica-based rubber compound, which is preserved even at extremely low temperatures.

Key Features of Goodyear Ultragrip Performance GEN-1 + ST
