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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mediocre product, probably won't use.

Moved from Continental WinterViking 2. Changed wheels in winter, so I'm talking about first impressions after leaving the installation in comparison. Conditions: asphalt with ice crust and frozen snow, T -3C.: 1) The car drove as if on a handbrake, a very clear feeling. As if the car was heavier up to 4 passengers. Those. the acceleration of the rubber is weaker, the feeling is gone only km. in ten. 2) The tires are obviously harder, bumps and bumps are felt. But I admit that during the installation they pumped her new one harder. 3) The rumble of rubber (not spikes, namely rubber) is stronger than that of Continental. I was driving there like in summer because of the noise, here I feel that everything is buzzing. It is up to 80 km. After 80 it seems the same as in Continental. The buzz is even, which is good. 4) Rubber brakes are clearly better. But I had about 60-70 spikes on the mainland, so it's hard to compare. 5) Accordingly, the controllability is higher.

Pros
  • value for money/quality
Cons
  • harsh buzzing
