Goodyear WinterCommand Ultra 225/45R17, Winter, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; Comfortable performance; Improved controllability; Goodyear WinterCommand Ultra TiresThe Goodyear WinterCommand Ultra is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model guarantees exceptional winter weather traction. It utilizes various Goodyear technologies to ensure better winter performance. The V-Tred technology creates the directional footprint, while ActiveGrip and Adaptive SipeGrip technologies provide the siping detail. This combination firmly grips the road surface in winter conditions, even when performing on ice- and snow-covered roads. The Cryo-Adaptive compound keeps the tire pliable in cold temperatures, guaranteeing its safer performing ability. The hydro-dynamic grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in wet situations. The special V-Tred technology helps to decrease the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. It forms the directional pattern which channels airwaves through the footprint. In this manner, sound waves are not formed and they cannot reach the vehicle's cabin. This helps to promote a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The Goodyear WinterCommand Ultra increases its controllability with an ideal footprint. The V-Tred technology helps the tire maintain consistent surface contact. As a result, it greatly boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability throughout the performance. It significantly increases the cornering ability as well, since it provides additional biting edges with the Adaptive SipeGrip technology. The tread elements generate friction at the moment of braking thanks to the siping placement. This friction greatly shortens the tire's overall braking distance, offering a safer performance. 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.
