Review on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic 195/60 R15 88T winter by Adam uciuk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

I rarely write reviews in the market, but this time I decided to write. By the end of winter, I had to change tires, because on the old (3 seasons) Continental WinterViking 2 tires, after hitting a hole on the track, a serious hernia came out. Now for the feeling. Considering that knee-deep March snow fell in the Hong Kong region, the conditions for testing new rubber are the most favorable - snowdrifts, drifts, ice. The first impression is unequivocal - delight. Despite the weather conditions, it seemed that the winter was over, and I changed into summer tires. This is about trails. Now as for the snowdrifts and drifts, which are now in every yard. Yesterday, like a tank drove through a snowdrift into a parking space. After me, a neighbor, in a nearby place, rolled out the ice under the snow, barely parked. Today, going around the traffic jam, it was necessary to drive 7 meters along the snowdrift on the left side before turning to the parking lot. There were places on the right - 10 centimeters from strength, on the left there was such a dense snowdrift 30 centimeters high and above. To be honest, I took a chance, because in a snowdrift the car could skid a little and I would have hooked the cars on the right. Again, as the tank drove, in an even course in centimeters from the cars on the right, without demolition, without a frantic roar . It turned out very impressive :) Separately, I can positively characterize the behavior of rubber in a rut. She is like my summer one - I feel very confident after Conti Viking 2. I would recommend it for use in northern latitudes, where winters are very snowy. Perhaps in the suburbs, where the roads are not heavily poured with reagents. I don't have any experience with rubber on dry or wet pavement yet, but I'll probably write back later.

Pros
  • Excellent cross-country ability - bites into ice, snow. Exchange rate stability, adequate behavior in a rut. Excellent acceleration and deceleration. For all the main parameters of driving safety - I put all fives.
Cons
  • Noisy. Perhaps after running it will become quieter, but this is not the most important thing. In my opinion, winter tires should first of all perform their basic functions.
