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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

I rode on breeches with spikes, then put this one on, I’ll immediately note that on winter asphalt the grip is an order of magnitude higher, the stability is super, I practically did not change my driving style in summer. It digs loose snow well and drives through large puddles. In puddles (in MSC this is the norm in winter) it pulls a little to the side but rushes straight ahead confidently. I live in the region, I never got stuck (the snow was removed 1 time at the house). Clearly gets into the parking lot and also briskly leaves. There are practically no slips (the computer works, of course, but there were axle boxes on the bridges and with the computer!). Once I braked sharply from 120, the temperature was about -10, weak ice on the pavement - an ideal braking distance, exactly without kicks, I managed to slow down for 100-150 meters, the abs twitched only at the very end. There is a problem with ice, because there are no spikes, it’s better to drive through the ice very carefully, but if you don’t drive, then it rides calmly. Several times I caught pits well in the spring, hernias did not pop out, but given their softness, I admit the likelihood of hernias. True, I had to change one cylinder, glue one, it cuts very well. I even caught a 5 cm bolt with a blunt end. Bottom line: very decent tires for the city, asphalt, wet roads, snow. You can use it up to full warming, while it rains, snow melts. Drive very carefully in icy conditions.

Pros
  • Inexpensive (I took a balloon for 4 tons, someone found it for 2), moderately noisy, ideal for the city and snow
Cons
  • soft, pricks well, did not catch hernias, but they can probably be caught.
