Description
The Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2 is a winter studded tire with outstanding handling and braking characteristics on ice and snow.
The technologies behind the performance:
- Arctic Eagle Claw Stud – unbeaten ice braking performance (13% better braking performance on ice compared to the next best tested competitor. The Arctic Eagle Claw stud has a sharp pin shape for optimal ice grip and an innovative anchoring system for improved stud retention of the tire which enables ice performance throughout the lifetime of the tire. In combination with increased number of studs, now up to 220 per tire, this leads to unbeaten ice braking performance);
- Snow Grip Technology – unbeaten snow braking and handling (The new Snow Grip Technology provides strong performance in all snow conditions through wider grooves and higher edge density. All these improvements were proved by Test World, where UltraGrip Arctic 2 performed best in snow braking and handling in the test);
- Noise Control – 9% lower noise (9% less interior noise compared to its predecessor due to optimized stud distribution and the implementation of a new stud cushion that absorbs noise when the stud hits the road).

UTAC: Large Winter Tire Test R16
Ranked #4th of 19. Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2Verdict:The Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2 ensures good handling performance on ice — even though it does fall behind some of the competitors in terms of maximum grip levels — and the control deteriorates only at large steering angles. On snow, the tire also demonstrates quite logical behavior, with a slight understeer, and is not prone to unexpected skidding. In the segment of studded tires, the UltraGrip Arctic 2 is one of the most effective tires on tarmac: it ensures strong grip and good stability under loads, including during emergency lane switching when averting an obstacle. This Goodyear tire is pretty quiet but its rolling resistance is high.
