Product description & features

• Directional winter tyre providing improved grip and shorter braking distances.
• Superb grip in both wet and dry conditions.
• More sipes in the tread increase traction on snow and ice.
• Tread design ensures effective water and slush dispersal.
• Designed for improved mileage and fuel efficiency.

Goodyear has developed the UltraGrip 8 to deliver shorter braking distances thanks to its ‘3D-BIS Technology®’. This technology uses interlocking blocks on the tyre tread to deliver shorter breaking distances on the snow. The ‘3D-BIS Technology®’ also helps to improve handling in all-weather conditions with the enhanced tyre shape of the UltraGrip 8 more rubber is in contact with the road and thus increasing control in slippery conditions.

It also features a reduced risk of aquaplaning on wet roads thanks to a double V groove design. The design allows one groove to successfully evacuate water while the other ensures grip to improve control when the snow starts to melt. The UltraGrip8 has been designed to have outstanding traction in all-weather conditions, with the tyre maintaining a high level of traction temperatures below 7 °C.
