Review on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic 235/55 R17 103T winter by Micha wierczewski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

Many mention weak sidewalls, which I don’t have after three seasons, although I often fell into deep holes with sharp edges and after 5 times I stopped stopping and checking for a hernia. Pologab need in some cases not to slow down in the pit, on the contrary, give gas inconsistently in front of the pit if there is no option to go around it, but in no case slow down in the pit! For three years, I traveled a total of 60 thousand km. summer and winter. According to balancing, in the first season there were three wheels with minimal weights, the fourth one got up without weights at all))). The rubber is soft. After 5 seasons and the rest of the tread 7-8 mm decided to change. For already without spikes it does not cling to the ice. The first two or three seasons the wheels are just perfect. For all 5 seasons, not a single hernia and only one puncture with a self-tapping screw. The wheels are not lowered from autumn until the scales never pumped up. Even as a comment: on dry pavement they make noise, but this is due to the large number of spikes. Less spikes less noise.

Pros
  • Everything is on top, especially the first season (I never got stuck anywhere even though the winter was very snowy! ). Ice, track, deep snow, slurry, asphalt at positive temperatures - everything is very good. Very serious studding across the entire width of the tire, uniform rows are visible on the ice after slipping. The rubber is strong after 5 seasons of the urban cycle, not a single hernia. Once, when avoiding a collision with asphalt in loose snow with a layer of 20-30 cm at a speed of 40 km / h, it flew into a curb at an angle - the disk broke (a sector of about 35 cm, and the tire did not even deflate and without hernias. The rubber is very soft, like and all winter compared to summer. On the track in frost -20 on the pavement with ice keeps as dry (110-130 km / h) Very confident.
Cons
  • The main drawback is that it does not tolerate a hard track, it feels like it will be thrown out of it now. For 2 seasons I have been driving a hake8, so she is not afraid of a rut. After the third season, 15-25% of the spikes on all wheels were missing. Auto Toyota Corolla Fielder 2022, 1.5 l. 195/65/15. After the 5th season, there were almost no spikes left on three wheels; on the fourth, 20% remained. Driving style is aggressive. Mostly in the city, but in our country the main roads are being cleaned to asphalt. And I like to turn around on the handbrake.

Price quality! Quite suitable tires, Goodyear has greatly improved the tires now the spikes do not fly out.

Pros: In my case, it doesn’t lose spikes and I can’t call it noisy either. Cons below: Poor flotation on snow, tendency to skid on snow-covered roads and on ice when cornering - too.
