Tread and its features Goodyear Ultragrip Performance GEN-1 SCT
The model features a directional tread pattern, which has long been a standard for winter tires. A large number of blocks and lamellas create a multitude of gripping edges, contributing to improved traction on snow. The presence of block activators ensures an increased level of safety when driving on winter roads.
In the shoulder area, there are rigid blocks with a diagonal direction. Thanks to their work, the contact patch always maintains its shape, providing reliable contact with the road surface even when maneuvering at high speed.
The developed network of channels and lamellas contributes to the rapid cleaning of the contact area from contaminants, keeping the tread in working condition.
An important aspect is the work of the tread elements to suppress noise and vibrations. Thanks to this, even at high speeds, acoustic comfort is maintained inside the vehicle.
A special indicator is provided to control the condition of the tread depth. Thanks to it, the driver will always know when it's time to change the tires to new ones.
