Q&A Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 2 tyre

Winter tyre for high performance cars, the GoodYear UltraGrip 8 performance provides superior grip and braking on snow and ice.

Safety. A large contact area improves grip on icy roads. The integration of different types of sipes improves road holding and braking on hard-packed snow. Circumferential and lateral grooves efficiently clear water to reduce the risk of aquaplaning.

Traction.  The shape of the central rib works like a snow plough to improve traction on snow-covered roads.
