Review on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice SUV 235/65 R18 110T winter by Bogusawa Sadowska ᠌

Of course, I am a little surprised by a bunch of rave reviews, but! Let's go in order. Bought for Tuareg in the amount of 255/55/18. First impressions - WOW! Does this happen. Soft, smooth, quiet! And in combination with pneuma - generally fly away! I didn’t have such comfortable summer tires, not like winter ones. But if there are obvious pluses, then let's write about the minuses, because there is no ideal rubber, and few people write about the minuses here. And the main disadvantage is the reverse side of the plus. That is softness. Due to the very soft sidewall, the rubber is strongly pressed through. And if you leave the car overnight on bumps, for example, driving one wheel onto the edge of the curb (or something similar) and if it’s minus outside the window, then the rubber will harden in this position and in the morning when you start moving, you will find a beating on the steering wheel. That is, the rubber took shape and froze in this state. Of course, this will pass in a couple of minutes, but still this was not the case on other tires. The second minus is a weak sidewall. Even with a pressure of 2.5, the wheel looks a little flat. Because of this, I do not recommend driving this rubber quickly through the pits. There is a high chance of damage. The third minus is that when driving actively in a turn, the rubber collapses a little . well, or it bends . (I don’t know how to say it correctly, I hope you understand), although my profile is not the highest. These are also the consequences of a soft sidewall. Of course, rubber also has pluses, but they have already been written about more than once, so I decided to write more about the minuses. As a result, the tires turned out to be good for a mild European winter (well, or for the winter that is now (season 19-20) in Hong Kong). I probably would not recommend it for ice, snow and low temperatures. And also I do not advise buying it for bad roads. For conditions close to ideal - super tires! For the 2022 provinces and the north, it is worth thinking a hundred times.
