If you’re searching for a premium touring winter tyre that complements your high-performance SUV or passenger vehicle, look no further than Goodyear’s UltraGrip 8. Successor to the UltraGrip 7 Plus, the ‘8’ range features a whole host of new technology that makes negotiating wintery terrains even easier. One such innovation is Goodyear’s 3D BIS Technology®, developed to improve handling on ice, snow, or slush. The optimised tyre shape puts more rubber in contact with the road, increasing control in both slippery and dry conditions.
Rated for speeds of up to 168mph, the UltraGrip 8 boasts a next-generation V-tread design that maintains handling performance even as the tyre wears. And if even more assuring, it’s stamped with the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake pictogram thanks to superior braking in winter weather.
Goodyear has thought of everything. As well as reducing the external noise generated while driving (rated A-B), the UltraGrip 8 range comes with rim protectors to prevent curb damage. There’s also RunOnFlat technology present in these nifty tyres, allowing you to drive up to 50mph after picking up a puncture.
That double V groove we mentioned is fantastic at reducing the risk of aquaplaning on slushy or wet roads. One groove quickly evacuates water away from the tread while the other bites into snow for superior control in wet and thawing conditions. If you needed any more persuading, the UltraGrip 8 offered 16% more resistance to aquaplaning on curved roads when tested against competitors.
