Tire Description

The Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 EMT is Goodyear's Performance Winter / Snow run-flat tire developed for the drivers of high performance sport coupes and sport sedans. It is designed to offer temporary extended mobility in the event a puncture allows complete pressure loss along with European high-speed winter driving performance and traction on winter's dry, wet and snow-covered roads. Goodyear Extended Mobility Technology (EMT) tires incorporate special sidewall reinforcements that support the weight of the vehicle even after sustaining air pressure losses that would render conventional tires immobile. While internal tire damage will likely make replacement necessary, EMT tires are designed to endure being run on while flat for up to 50 miles at speeds up to 55 mph and provide drivers the temporary extended mobility necessary to drive through stormy weather and away from dangerous situations. EMT tires are only recommended for vehicles originally equipped with self-supporting run-flat tires and a tire pressure monitoring system. Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 EMT tires feature a performance winter / snow compound molded into a V-TRED technology directional tread pattern to combine winter traction in snow with hydroplaning resistance on wet and slush-covered roads. The Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 EMT's rounded shoulder and independent intermediate tread blocks enhance dry and wet road handling while the center rib provides constant road contact for highway stability. All elements of the tread design use strategically placed sipes to provide the biting edges needed to help grip snow for winter traction without resorting to traditional metal studs. Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 EMT winter / snow tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol. Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 EMT tires feature winter wear indicators to identify when wear causes the remaining tread depth to become unable to provide beneficial snow performance. Due to the traction capabilities of the Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 EMT, Goodyear recommends using Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 EMT tires only in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.

Customer Reviews

Acura chose the Bridgestone Turanza EL42 as stock and I almost put it in the ditch the first wet November snow we had. I considered a tire/wheel package but the tire pressure sensors added $200 to ugly steel wheels. I decided on these tires at stock size on stock rims for now. Just drove through two back to back days with 6-10 inches of lake effect snow and the tires are worth it (got a special buy 3 get 1 free deal plus $80 back from Goodyear)!!! The first couple of weeks we had 60+ dry weather and I actually prefer these tires to the touring a/s from the factory even on the highway. Consumer Reports rated these tires the best of performance winter tires. I would buy them again!
