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 285/40R20 108V XL
For the short amount of snow I have seen so far, I believe they managed quite well. The summer tyres I changed out from were awful in snow and made driving dangerous.
