Tyre reviews Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic. Page 1 1278

I've been running this tire from 10.13 to 04.14 in the Khabarovsk region, where the average winter temperature is -30°C, with plenty of snow and the roads cleaned only from the mayor's house to the city administration. In general, I'm satisfied with the tire, it's well-balanced, around 15 grams per wheel, and one even didn't need to be loaded. The first impression is that it's very noisy after a summer tire,

205/60/16 96H Unexpectedly, but perhaps the best of all ~ 10 models of studs I tried. The first thing that I would like to point out to the reader of my valuable review is the behavior of the tire on ice. With a small number of studs, it grips, no worse than Continental Ice Contact, who goes on the ice, is familiar with the Continental. Good grip and braking, uneven rear axle movement is even and predictable. The figure studs decide!

Size: 205/55 R16. Ford Focus 2, 2.0 (145 HP). This is my second car with these tyres and my impressions have only changed for the better (also in 175/65 R14 on 2110). Dry asphalt, wet roads, snow, ice – all predictable and reassuring within the expected norms. Initially they were a bit noisy, after 1000km they became quieter, and after two seasons they are almost silent. I’m really

Reliable tyres
2 tyres - 1st season on the lead axle, 2nd season on the trailing axle. Lost ~40-50% of tread. Replacement.
2 tyres - 1st season on the trailing axle, 2nd and third seasons on the lead axle, until I lost 15-20%, no more. Bought 2 new ones, put them on the trailing axle, next year I'll swap and still drive and drive..
Conclusion

Hello! I don't like unnecessary words, so I write only the facts. I chose this tire based on reviews and tests, where the main plus was its phenomenal traction characteristics in deep snow, since the Civic often gets stuck in the snow in the winter (low clearance + lowered springs) for me, this was the main reason for choosing. I was choosing among top models from brands such as Hakka, Conti, Michelin, Gislaved, Bridgestone, and Goodyear

I bought the set in late winter. The price was really good with a good discount. I even asked for the manufacturer's representatives, and they answered promptly on the phone. The personnel work at a high level, they call back and answer all questions quickly. When I ordered, I specified the freshness of the rubber. The girl checked on the premises, called back - all the rubber is from the 4th quarter of 2015, and upon receipt, it was indeed November. The transportation

Pros:
You drive like on "claws" for the first 50 km, squeaking with studs on dry roads.
Noise of the tread like a gear box for the first 500 km with a decrease at 1000 km mileage. The studs come back to their place and are inaudible like new.
Adhesion and confidence of the tire appear closer to 250 km.
Holds the road well, good course

This was my first Goodyear tire, and after that I became a loyal fan of the brand. Goodyear is definitely worth the money, the price-to-quality ratio is just perfect, it's a really good product. After using Ice Arctic, I bought two sets of Ice 2, and now I'll be ordering the EfficientGrip Compact for the summer. As we have a pretty mild winter in the South, I only bought studded tires for the first and last time, sorry

This is my favorite winter tire model so far. Before them were General Nf5, GoodYear UG 400, Michelin Xs2. There is no point in comparing them with anything else, as the previous ones are old. Michelin is like a plane - it doesn't hold a nut in its mouth and doesn't hold on to slop and has a tendency to drag the car to the side of better traction. In other winter modes, everything is great, the studs are

I switched to this tire with the same UltraGrip, but not studded.
In terms of comfort, the difference is enormous. After 80 km/h the noise is very strong, and by 120 km/h it drowns out all other sounds in the car.
At first, when I changed to this tire, I felt some sort of sogginess and vagueness in handling - I think the tire is very soft even compared to studded tires
