Summary

Description

The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Gen-1 is a high-performance winter tire designed for passenger vehicles. It serves as an advanced evolution of the UltraGrip Performance 2, offering enhanced traction and stability on snowy and icy roads. This tire is engineered to meet the demanding needs of winter driving, ensuring safety and performance in harsh conditions.

Features & Benefits

  • Updated V-Tred Design: The central tread pattern has been creatively re-engineered with numerous small blocks, enhancing grip on snowy roads by increasing the number of biting edges and improving snow traction.
  • Improved Stability: The unique arrangement of blocks in the tread pattern provides superior directional stability and reliable handling at high speeds.
  • 3D-BIS Sipes: Thousands of 3D interlocking sipes increase block stiffness and provide excellent traction on ice and snow, enhancing overall handling.
  • Shorter Braking Distances: The tire's tread blocks deform under braking to maximize contact area, significantly reducing stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
  • Enhanced Maneuverability: Increased number of longitudinal grooves in the shoulder and central zones improve the tire's grip and stability during maneuvers and turns.
  • Slushplaning Resistance: The V-shaped tread pattern and increased drainage groove width effectively channel away snow and slush, preventing slushplaning and ensuring stable performance in poor weather conditions.
  • Wear Indicator: A snowflake-shaped wear indicator in the tread helps drivers know when the tire is no longer suitable for winter conditions, maintaining safety.

The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Gen-1 was released in 2015, replacing the UltraGrip Performance 2. It was later succeeded by the UltraGrip Performance+ in 2019.
