Goodyear Launch New Winter Tyre

Goodyear tyres have launched the UltraGrip 8 High Performance winter tyre on the European market recently. Building on consumer concerns over vehicle control in the snow, Goodyear developed the new tyre to deliver a solid performance on snow, slush and on icy roads too.

Goodyear describe the tyre: "On wet roads, a directional design with Hydro-Dynamic Grooves disperses water sideways to enable effective aquaplaning resistance - while on dry a continuous centre rib contributes to more precise steering and maneouvering. Independent test results confirmed that, of the tyres tested, UltraGrip 8 Performance has the best handling performance on wet roads and also offers some of the lowest rolling resistance results."
