Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus Winter Tire Review

Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus Winter

Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus

Are you a driver who loves dynamic driving? Are you looking for a reliable premium tire you can rely on in winter? With these expectations in mind, Goodyear has developed the UltraGrip Performance Plus, adapted for high-performance cars.

The Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus tire has a directional tread pattern, literally indispensable in winter. V-shaped blocks and wide grooves: transverse and longitudinal, are designed to drain water from under the car. This is an extremely important function that reduces the risk of aquaplaning. The car doesn’t slip on wet surfaces, and driving becomes as easy as in summer. The tread pattern used is also ideal for maneuvering at higher speeds. This results in improved maneuverability. On the other hand, the massive blocks in the shoulder areas contribute to excellent vehicle stability. Since this is a winter model, safety enhancements during this difficult time of year for drivers have not been forgotten. The dense network of blades of the Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus is not only an additional water drainage system but also a factor that improves traction when driving on snowy surfaces.
