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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

First Velcro. Totally NOT disappointed. Comfort in the city, excellent braking performance (compared to previously used ones: hakka 4, michelin x ice 3, toyo observe gt3, bmw e91 320D car, rear-wheel drive, if anyone cares), very understandable behavior on different surfaces. If it blows (and blows any tires under certain conditions), then it is smooth, predictable and easily manageable. Very good in the snow. At speeds on the CADE 120+, the softness of the sidewall is felt, it floats slightly in directional stability, and slight drift is felt in corners. Of course, in comparison with the summer, which is wider and harder, this is noticeable, but in winter it is necessary to seriously revise the driving style, this is understandable to everyone. The negative for Velcro, as I understand it, consists of the fact that many people buy Velcro without understanding the issue. Euro Velcro (Alpine, Eurowinter, all-weather) is not suitable for St. Petersburg. Only models indicated by the manufacturer as winter without reservations, for example, like Goodyear "for the southern regions." Choose a winter Velcro and you will be happy. I don't agree with spikes anymore.

Pros
  • comfort, predictability, brakes, cross-country ability
Cons
  • stability is lost at high speeds
