Product description & features

Goodyear UltraGrip Performance G1 is a state-of-the-art winter tyre with an emphasis on traction on snowy and cool, damp roads. The tyre uses a directional tread pattern and a winter rubber compound designed to fall and stay pliable in lower temperatures. The UltraGrip Performance G1 uses Goodyear’s Winter Grip Technology, a specific resin blend geared to stay pliable in low temperatures. SnowProtect Technology forms closely spaced tread blocks to create biting edges for forcible driving and stopping on snowy surfaces.

The 3PMSF marking on the sidewall indicates approval of the tyre for the recognised severe-snow performance standard. An option with reinforced XL construction is available for the transportation of heavier loads. Hydrodynamic Grooves (channels aimed to direct water and slush away from the contact area) allow the tyre to maintain a good level of stability and control on snowy and damp roads, preventing aquaplaning. Tyres.co.uk offers a variety of sizes of the UltraGrip Performance G1, including the reinforced XL option.

Highlights

  • Directional tread pattern
  • Winter rubber compound
  • Severe-snow approved marking
  • Reinforced XL option available

Tyre review for Goodyear UltraGrip Performance G1 265/45R20 108V XL
The MX5 is not regarded as a powerful car, however, its handling is very well balanced and is very responsive to the type of tyres used so I was a little worried about the transition from summer Michelins to the latest winter Gen1s by Goodyear. First impression was good as they are more comfortable than the Michelins which were very responsive, and they are quiet which is an added bonus. Now that the tyres are settled in I can start to gauge the grip limits and I feel very confident when negotiating slippery and cold roundabouts. Initially, the steering response may feel a little slower, but the car still feels very agile and balanced, I have not messed around with pressure adjustments. I have not been able to test them in snow, but they handle standing water well. They offer stable traction on ice, and I have always felt safe travelling on ice. Overall, I can recommend the new tyres without a doubt.

I bought the tyres for a winter sports trip. Just returned from Italy where I drove 1750 miles and faced snow, ice and torrential rain. The car was remarkably stable in all of the conditions.

These tyres are noticeably quieter and smoother compared to the Continental summer ones I used to have on the car.

Tyre review for Goodyear UltraGrip Performance G1 265/45R20 108V XL
These tyres are doing a superb job. Unlike my old summer tyres that didn't offer any traction on the tricky junctions, these new ones are great at pulling out and accelerating in cold and wet conditions. They give me so much more confidence in bad weather.

Tyre review for Goodyear UltraGrip Performance G1 265/45R20 108V XL
These tyres are doing their job. I can also feel the difference in the cold and wet weather even if there isn't much snow. My old tyres made me feel like i would slide in the car over the puddles, especially since I spent so much time on the motorway. These winter tyres do not make me feel that way. I think they are better at getting rid of the water. I would buy these again for sure.

Tyre review for Goodyear UltraGrip Performance G1 265/45R20 108V XL
The tyres are doing great as always. No shaking or instability, which can be common with newly fitted ones. Great grip on the road at all times including when it is wet. I really appreciate these tyres and truly, all the Goodyear tyres that I have had have been great.

Tyre review for Goodyear UltraGrip Performance G1 265/45R20 108V XL
Everything's been going well. The grip in cold weather is actually better than I expected and the ride is also better because the rubber in these tyres is softer.
