Ranked #3rd of 18. Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2Verdict:The Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2 shows outstanding performance in winter conditions, particularly excelling in snow braking and handling, as well as ice handling. However, it exhibits weaker performance in wet and dry braking, and its resistance to straight aquaplaning is moderate. While the tire's steering response on ice is not the sharpest, it maintains a balanced overall performance and offers an acceptable level of comfort, even as a studded tire.

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.
