Review on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic 195/60 R15 88T winter by Mateusz Strach ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

- Dimension 195/65R15, Poland, date - 23 weeks. 13; - operation on Octavia A5 1.4t + dsg; - the period of operation from autumn 2022 to spring 2022 - 6 seasons; - mileage per season is approximately 4 thousand. Km - total 24 thousand. km for 6 seasons; (total car mileage for winter and summer is about 65 thousand km) - driving style - neat, antibuks present. But there were late tire changes; - tread residue 7.5-8.0 mm - practically not worn out; - the rest of the spikes 10-30%; - used kit sold for 2500 in November 2022. The buyer said: car for sale; The main conclusion: with gentle operation and the absence of tread wear, almost all the spikes are lost. Studding is unprofitable and the design of the repair stud is different. As an option, you can try to add the most inexpensive spikes from the Chinese store. But it is impossible to predict the result of such an addition.

Pros
  • Characteristics correspond to the price and year of the tire. Various tests have confirmed this over and over again.
Cons
  • Poor spike design. Insufficient fixation of the stud in the tire.

Pros: Works great on packed snow and ice Got cons: A little noisy on pavement, but that's normal for a stud.
