Review on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice 2 205/50 R17 93T winter by Janis Berzins ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

Rubber got with a run of 1 season from a friend who sold the car, I took mine on a spike, which I can’t stand. Changed vopchem. He always rode the Goodyear, I rode the Dunlop Graspik. Vopchem despite my skepticism about this rubber, she did not disappoint me. Size 205 55 16. I like to ride sharply and quickly, the car has been dropped by 5 cm and on the furious shocks from kyb. Rubber pleased with extremely rare and predictable demolitions, even when the weather conditions and coverage did not imply aggressive driving at all, at first he deliberately tried to rip it off on a slippery road with gas and sharp maneuvers, realizing that it was not so easy to do this, he decided not to waste extra fuel and abandoned these attempts . On a cleared road, you can pile into turns like on a summer road without fear of demolition. There are no questions about braking properties either. At speeds up to 180 it behaves stably, no longer overclocked. The speed index has already been exceeded. There are complaints about the behavior of these wheels in a rut, the steering wheel does not pull out of the hands, but compared to the wife’s car shod in dunlop, there is less comfort. Like any Velcro, it loses grip with a slippery surface in proportion to the temperature. For three seasons, he never burrowed into the snow on it and did not skid, it leaves perfectly. Rubber is quite versatile, it works both in frost and in porridge during a thaw, it does not give up. Wear is subjectively moderate. It also has excellent acoustic comfort inherent in all non-studded tires. For those who travel calmly, I think there is no better option.

Pros
  • Grip, handling, silence, predictability
Cons
  • Behavior on ice, but this is typical of any Velcro. Doesn't like ruts.
