Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance 205/65R16 95H 117780373

Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Shortened braking distance; . OVERVIEW: The Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance is a studless performance winter tire manufactured for SUVs.The tire offers great winter weather traction. The special tire compound blends polymer particles and silica to increase the tire's flexibility in colder temperatures. The high-density siping detail of the directional tread design firmly grips the road surface to boost the winter weather performing capability. The tread's saw-shaped center tread area enhances the traction on ice and snow to guarantee a secure drive. The directional tread design helps resist hydroplaning. It channels water and slush from the footprint and boosts the driving safety. These enhancements allowed the tire to receive the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol, which is awarded to tires with excellent traction in harsh winter conditions.The tread design's directional pattern improves the tire's constant road contact, which improves the tire's controllability. It enhances the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the driver's commands and stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure. The shoulder tread blocks enhance the cornering and maneuvering capability. They increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, which enhances the maneuvering power. The high-density siping detail creates friction at the moment of braking. In this manner, the tire manages to shorten its braking distance significantly, offering a secure performing capability.The Ultra Grip 8 Performance's better controllability and traction allow the tire to perform at its greatest high speed capability. They, along with the maintained optimal tire shape, withstand the high speed driving pressure affecting the tire, which guarantees a secure winter weather 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.
