Review on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic 195/60 R15 88T winter by Wiktor Barczuk ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is really good, I'm glad I purchased it.

Review supplement / change-rubber skated. There is something to compare with (a large fleet of your company, there is an opportunity to experiment in search of the best, plus what I changed to). So this rubber is for the main movement on asphalt, rather than rolled ice and snowdrifts (I compare with ise zero, hakka7, contin ice). It is soft, there is no rumble at all. The spikes, despite their triangular originality and other ideas, are unnecessarily lost, as on previous models, and this is even more offensive because my ride is smooth. It behaves perfectly at speed, does not roar (on a dry surface, even snow on asphalt), steers quite sharply. It slows down on any condition of the coating by 5. Lateral displacements on slippery (already seen on the "off-course" tread) - it is VERY noticeable on it in a strong turn (if the drive is not rear, it changes when gas is added), and it starts to yaw, as it drove into a slippery - you can't go wrong, but the restoration of adhesion is later and abrupt, in general, this is a loss of control (for example, you fly into a small bridge or a pile of snow in the middle of the road). It starts off, despite the appearance of the tread on ice, mud, snow and water porridge badly, slips, shifts to the side. The quality of the studding is beautiful, a lot, evenly distributed in many rows . and do not sit well. I have it cast in Germany r16 245/70. For driving, mainly on coasting, snowdrifts, it is better to look at other options, this is not her, not for a cold, harsh winter. Over 25 thousand km. mileage loss of studs 20%, I think a lot for careful driving on the highway, without slipping. I changed it at the beginning of February (!) - I'm tired of it. It was a pity for money for the Finnish / German spike, in its price tag I took a Velcro? Japanese, and was satisfied. Overall rating 4-.

Pros
  • Easy, silent, braking class everywhere!
Cons
  • Unjustified departure of spikes, lateral displacement, starting off, patency.
