Tyre reviews Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic SUV. Page 16 585

Here is the translation:

I'll be brief: great tires! They exceeded my expectations in braking and handling. I haven't even tried to accelerate or drift, but I drive calmly and now I don't worry about the weather - the car is always predictable. A bit noisy, but within acceptable limits, Hakka is way louder, though!
Made in Germany, probably a good thing.
For the price, they're fully satisfying so far.

Goodyear studded tire is very high quality, performs well on any surface, asphalt, ice, loose, packed snow, provides confident acceleration and a worthy stability. Never hydroplaned, though I frequently have to drive through snowdrifts. In general, it holds the road very well.

Excellent tyre from a safety perspective. Good braking performance in any road conditions. Excellent quality manufacturing. A bit noisy at speeds above 70 km/h. Noise increases with speed, but you can compromise on comfort for safety. The tread pattern is impressive in terms of its traction power. I don't think there should be any issues in snow. Overall, I'm satisfied with the tyre and would recommend it for purchase. I bought it on the recommendation of friends who are using this tyre.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the tire, primarily driven in the city last winter and occasionally ventured to nearby areas during holidays. It performed well in all conditions, handling snow, dirt on the roads, and ice chunks without any issues, braking as smoothly as in the summer. A few times it literally saved me from being overtaken, so I'm glad I made the choice. While it's still early to judge after one season, I'm satisfied and can confidently recommend.

Ran for 9 seasons. The best tires I've ever had. The only drawback is that they are a bit noisier than the previous studded tires. I've driven over 100,000 km on these tires. Last year, in the ninth season, I sent them for re-studding, since there were no more than 50% of the studs left on all the wheels, and those that were left were already worn out. This season, two wheels have developed bulges. I'm satisfied with the tires, they lasted twice as long as expected.

So my Hyundai Creta 2 was purchased in January 2025 for 24 thousand. The dealer gave me Sailun tires as a gift. I have a turn where I've been testing tires for 20 years, and this Sailun is the second tire on which I almost crashed (temperature around 0, ice, 70-degree turn, speed 77 km/h), the first one was Pirelli in 2009. The Chinese tires went to Avito, and I was puzzled by the new ones - previously, I had Continental tires on my Duster, which were the standard of winter tires in all parameters, made in Germany, but now, due to the situation, it's dangerous to buy tires made in Russia - all these icons, Contis, Pirellis, are made here, but who knows what they're made of and what standards they follow. In fact, there are no more tires made abroad - Serbia, Korea, Poland. I stumbled upon Goodyear, the second one made in Poland, but accidentally, in a conversation with the seller, it turned out that he had a new set of the first Goodyear, 2024, made in Germany. I ordered it (the price, of course, was oh my god, but what can you do, you have to pay for safety, those with families will understand), put it on the wheels, and drove off - the turn test was passed successfully, there wasn't much snow, and it was still a run-in period, the noise is standard for studded tires, and winter ended soon. I'll fully test it this winter, but so far, I only have positive reviews, despite the difference in tread pattern between ContiContact and Goodyear - European rhombus and fir tree.

These tires have only one drawback - they are very noisy. Otherwise, excellent winter tires. Good grip on slippery surfaces. Confidently crawls through snow. When rebuilding, both on a rolled track and in slush, there are no problems. The loss of studs is minimal. I'm satisfied with the tires.
