Goodyear Ultragrip winter 235/60 R16 100T

The Goodyear Ultragrip winter tire is designed with the specific characteristics of the climate of Northern European countries and Canada in mind. It is characterized by improved traction properties on snowy and icy surfaces, the ability to slow down intensively on any slippery surface, reduced rolling resistance, and resistance to abrasive wear.

The tread pattern is a combination of a large number of blocks. In the central part, the elements are composite, which further increases the number of edges formed in the contact patch. A significant part of them has a V-shaped arrangement, which is why the tire shows high traction and directional stability on snowy surfaces. It is worth noting the design of the grooves, optimized so that the tread can capture and hold snow, which further enhances traction in such conditions. Another important feature of the tire is the profile of its tread, largely borrowed from commercial tires. It expands the contact patch, aligning its edges, which significantly improves the stability of the traction properties, especially when maneuvering, and also noticeably slows down the process of abrasive wear of the tread, increasing its service life. Its production uses a rubber compound with a "winter" composition based on natural rubber and silicon dioxide. Such a compound remains elastic at extremely low temperatures, allowing the tire to maintain its effectiveness on any snowy and icy surfaces.

Key features of Goodyear Ultragrip winter:
- V-shaped arrangement of drainage grooves increases traction on snowy surfaces, reduces the risk of aquaplaning, improves directional stability and wear resistance;
- commercial tire tread profile increases the stability of traction properties, provides comfort when maneuvering, prevents uneven wear;
- special "winter" rubber compound maintains the elasticity of the tire at extremely low temperatures, enhancing traction properties on snowy and icy surfaces.
