Review on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic 195/60 R15 88T winter by Micha Skolimowski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend it.

The focus 2 r15 I bought yesterday. The tire's heaviness was the first thing I noticed when I brought it home from the store. I took it to a tire shop I'm familiar with, and the results of the balance test on two tires were appalling, while the results on the other two were fine. We'll just chalk it up to spikes, but there's a deep rumble on the pavement. It's fine to roll and turn at a normal rate, however the prior Velcro had lower numbers. Otherwise, you're doing a 4+ on dry pavement in terms of steering and braking. Let's hope it performs as expected when tested on ice! So I thought I'd provide a review of it. Now I can testify that the rubber performs admirably on snow and ice. I put 5\5! I attempted to make a turn at 40-50 km/h on the ice, but the automobile refused to budge off its course. When I think about what can actually be planted, I don't even think of the time I drove through some very thick snow. I also navigated the rolled-ice slide without incident; the Velcro didn't even need to be raised halfway. I am satisfied with the tires as a whole. That's irrelevant though, because winter isn't fun and sometimes not even the best spikes can prevent an accident. Stay safe and warm this winter, and remember to drive the speed limit.

Pros
  • Excellent traction on ice for both speeding up and slowing down. Superb grip on the snow. The brakes work well on asphalt. Works well in wintry conditions.
Cons
  • road traffic sounds. On the street, you understeer.
