Description

The Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic is a studded winter tire, meticulously designed for driving in Arctic conditions. With a directional tread pattern, it's optimized for superior performance on snow and ice. This tire is a testament to Goodyear's commitment to safety, innovation, and performance, ensuring drivers experience stability, traction, and confidence on winter roads.

Features & Benefits

  • Optimized Traction: The tire offers excellent traction and stable handling on both ice and snow, ensuring a secure driving experience.
  • Short Braking Distance: Engineered for winter surfaces, the tire ensures reduced stopping distances, enhancing safety.
  • High Aquaplaning Resistance: The tire's design ensures efficient water dispersion, reducing the risk of aquaplaning.

Technologies

  • MultiControl Ice Technology: Goodyear's proprietary technology enhances the contact area between the stud and the road surface, ensuring superior grip on icy terrains.
  • Triangular Spike Design: The unique design of the triangular spike increases the efficiency of acceleration and grip on icy surfaces. The wide rear surface of the "steel tooth" ensures effective braking.
  • 3D-BIS Tread Bead Technology: This patented technology by Goodyear improves the tire's handling characteristics on slippery winter surfaces, ensuring a balance between performance and comfort.
  • V-Directional Tread Pattern: The traditional design, combined with waffle waved sipes and wide transverse drainage grooves, ensures efficient water and snow melt drainage.
  • Dual-Layer Rubber Compound: The tire's rubber compound consists of two layers. The surface layer, rich in silicon dioxide, maintains tread elasticity in extreme cold, while the inner layer ensures reliable stud fixation.

I'm satisfied with them very much, but there is one huge disadvantage. They lasts 2 seasons and now lost all studs. The tread is about 5 mm. They are fantastic tires for snow and ice but I wouldn't buy them again because of the stud problem.
