Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance 205/65R16, Winter, Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; Improved controllability; Enhanced braking capability; Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance TiresThe Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance is a performance winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The model offers excellent winter weather traction. The special winter compound and the saw-shaped center tread design upgrades the snow and ice gripping capability. The winter compound enhances the tire's rubber flexibility in colder temperatures. The tread's saw-shaped center tread design and the high-density siping pattern work together to increase the grip the tire has on the road surface. The model's directional tread pattern enhances the hydroplaning resistance as the angled lateral grooves eliminates water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance increases its controllability with the directional pattern. The maintained road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tread's high siping density manages to improve the braking capability, which decreases the braking distance. The ideal shoulder tread blocks enhance the cornering ability with extra biting edges gripping the road during maneuvering. The tire is also able to safely perform at high speeds with ease, while also maintaining its ideal shape under the high speed driving pressure. 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.
