Description Goodyear Ultragrip Performance GEN-1 C+ ST
The Goodyear Ultragrip Performance GEN-1 C+ ST winter tire for passenger cars belongs to the so-called "friction" tires. It is distinguished by improved traction properties in any conditions, especially at extremely low temperatures. In motion, it is characterized by comfortable handling and predictable behavior in complex situations.
The tread pattern is made using the proprietary V-Tread technology. The elongated drainage grooves, converging in the central part and directed against the direction of movement, provide not only high directional stability but also significantly reduce the risk of aquaplaning and slush planing. The numerous small blocks allow for effective realization of traction effort on snow. Efficiency on icy surfaces is provided by thousands of sharp edges that are formed by numerous wavy lamellas. The narrow slits are made using 3D-BIS technology, their vertical walls are rigidly fixed to each other, which improves the accuracy of handling and stability of traction properties.
Key features of Goodyear Ultragrip Performance GEN-1 C+ ST
- several thousand 3D-BIS lamellas improve traction and handling on icy surfaces;
- low tendency to aquaplaning and slush planing, precise handling and high traction effort on snow thanks to the V-shaped arrangement of drainage grooves;
- numerous small blocks allow for easy overcoming of snowy road sections;
- a rubber compound based on silicon dioxide allows the tire to maintain elasticity at extremely low temperatures, provides high resistance to abrasive wear.
