Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance GEN-1 265/40R20, Winter, Performance tires

Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Comfortable performance; Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance GEN-1 TiresThe Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance GEN-1 is a performance, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model offers excellent winter weather traction. The durable compound and detailed footprint work together to enable the tire's winter, ice, and snow grip. Rubber flexibility is maintained even in freezing temperatures, while the footprint provides better traction on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. Circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions, as water and slush are dispersed from the footprint. Better controllability is guaranteed with this model. The directional pattern's consistent surface contact boosts steering responsiveness and driving stability. Quick and precise steering responses are guaranteed, while the structure is secured against driving pressure as well. Cornering is optimized as the shoulder blocks provide additional biting edges. Friction is generated with the tread design, which significantly shortens the tire's braking distance. High driving comfort levels are promoted as well. The SoundComfort technology greatly lowers road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. Road noise levels are decreased throughout the performance, ensuring the passenger's exceptional comfort levels. The Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance GEN-1 protects the rims. It features rim-protecting sidewalls, that avoid curb damage throughout the performance. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Audi vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
