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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, more pros than cons.

Size 215/65/16, auto Subaru Forester. Terribly racked his brains when acquiring. And that's why. Previously, there was Hakka 5, Finnish. skated on it for almost 6 winters. Understandable, predictable, clung, slowed down. But she ended. I wanted conti ice, but Goodear bribed the price (4500 bottle, made in Germany), looked at the Pirelli zero. Tests are generally akin to fortune-telling in the thick of it. Ice Arctic rushed from 2 to 6 places. What I liked - perfectly balanced, on old disks up to 25 grams per wheel. Good roll. The wheels are very light. A slight rumble is present, but has not yet ridden above 60-80. up to 60 km / h they are not audible. On porridge and packed snow (temperature 0 + 3), they slow down more confidently than the old Hakka 5 (the path is shorter by 30% minimum) and Gislaveda 100 on another car (equal 4). As long as you're happy, as long as you like it. I'm running around. I am adding. Run in. I have seen snow and ice. What I didn’t see was a purely mirror-ice track, I wonder how the rubber will behave. It brakes perfectly, accelerates perfectly, the ABS works much later, you can clearly hear how the spikes “scrape”, and then the ABS is already connected. A little walks on the highway and on poor coverage. Apparently the lack of pronounced longitudinal guides affects. Requires attention and work gas. If you provoke a skid, it holds for a long time, then abruptly breaks into a not very predictable and controlled slip. This is disturbing. But these are all attempts to feel the "limit" of rubber. Everything is great in normal use. I boldly recommend. By noise - it is not (both at 20 and at 60 and at 120) I will ate the review as I use it. It is very interesting what will happen with the spikes in the spring. The rubber is very soft. There are suspicions that I may not count a certain amount, although I drive quite carefully.

Pros
  • Round, rolling, braking. The price decided the choice.
Cons
  • Not revealed yet
