Tire Description

Ultra Grip radials are Goodyear’s Studdable Snow radials designed for the owners of domestic and imported sedans, vans and light-duty pickup trucks, as well as crossover and sport utility vehicles. Ultra Grip radials use a tread compound made up of a special blend of rubber polymers molded into a directional tread pattern that features high-density, siped independent tread blocks to offer the biting edges necessary to provide traction in loose snow. The intermediate and shoulder tread blocks are molded to accept studs that further enhance traction on hard-packed snow and ice. The tire’s internal structure includes twin steel belts on top of a polyester carcass to combine strength with ride quality. Ultra Grip winter/snow radials meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol. Install Ultra Grip tires in sets of four only. Vehicles should always be equipped with equivalent tires at all wheel positions. All Ultra Grip radials, due to their exceptional hard-packed snow and ice traction when studded, must be used in sets of four to help ensure proper vehicle control. Pinned to accept optional TSMI #13 gold-colored metallic winter/snow studs.

Customer Reviews

Here in CT, we have very many snow covered hills and this past winter was a doozey with tons of snow. I found that the traction during acceleration and braking - especially when going down steep hills during a snow storm was out standing. Friends with cars with all seasons had trouble this year!!! I have long been a fan of studded snows - but my wife did not like the noise associated with studs on her last set - so we purchased this set without studs. This is a great tire. I found it to be quiet and very road worthy. Its price represents good value and I like the weight rating of the tire which was higher than the OEM all season. I fully expected the ride to suffer due to the extra weight capacity, but the ride remained compliant even at tire pressures of 40 psi. I expect to get 20,000 or more miles out of them and the fact that the tire that I bought was German made makes me think of quality (Check the spec chart for the Country of Origin). I do not believe that you will go wrong with this tire. My next set will have studs despite the extra noise that this will bring as we get many melts with daytime temperatures above freezing but at night the melted snow freezes which compounds icing issues during January and February. Ultra Grips rock! I do not have an opinion on their dry road handling as I removed the tires as soon as the weather warmed up in late March.
