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

205/55R16. Departure 2 winters. These are my first slippers. When I bought it, I was very afraid that I would throw money away. The fears turned out to be unfounded. Works great in snow porridge. The first two winters did not dig the parking lot, went purely on rubber. On wet pavement rides like dry. On the "black ice" they outperform spikes that slide with spikes on the asphalt. At the start, slippage, which studs sin, has practically disappeared. No complaints when driving on packed snow and ice. Everything is clear and predictable. In general, for daily urban use, with regular trips to the region, that's it. There is nothing to say about the noise level, it is much quieter and more comfortable than on spikes. The disadvantages include the mandatory monitoring of tire pressure. If the pressure dropped by 0.2-0.3 atm from that recommended by the automaker, then the car becomes like a cow on ice, rolled, fuzzy, amorphous. The second drawback is the weak sidewall. The photo shows the result of how the wife hooked the corner of the curb. But here it is unlikely that any tire will withstand. And the third drawback is completely subjective. During emergency braking at speeds above 60 km / h, in the first second it seems that the car does not slow down. But it's not. The car stops intensively and predictably. It's purely psychological. Let me summarize. The tires are great and worth the money. For me, there will be no return to spikes. Just for information - at a speed of 90 km / h, a car on 4 studded tires cuts 24 grams of asphalt per kilometer. And where did you think rutting comes from on the roads of your city?
