Goodyear UG Performance G1 225/55 R16 99 V XL, MFS

last weekend I was in the mountains where there were heavy snowfalls and the tires did very great. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Tires recommendable. Used in the BMW 530i e61, so rear-wheel drive and excel perfectly. Recommended

When I first got the tyres they seemed to be a little soft. There was a slight delay on the steering input. Either the tyres have become a little stiffer with use or I don't notice it anymore. The winter has been mild but I did encounter snow falling snow and a light layer of snow driving home one evening. There was no lose of traction and the car was we'll behaved at all times. I have been surprised many times stepping out of the car onto an icy car park and realising how slippery the conditions where. The car only broke grip once on an untreated road. It broke grip on all four wheels but it quickly recovered. Winter tyres don't make you invulnerable but for a rear wheel drive BMW they do provide better traction in winter. Winter tyres are not summer sport tyres. They cannot take the same amount of power as the summer tyres. I can feel some flex if to much power is applied but you really shouldn't drive near full throttle in winter. However they are much quieter than the summer tyres and provide a more comfortable ride. Anyone who buys these tyres would need to set their expectations according. It still debatable if you need winters tyres in the UK. However on the winter days when you get stuck and have no traction you will be sorry you do not have them.

I decided to wait a bit before writing my review. I am not a tyre specialist but I must admit that these Goodyear UG Performance G1 tyres are great. I have very positive impressions and I would like to recommend these tyres to everybody. I did not expect tchem to be so good. I have never had any problems with moving off uphill in mud and deep snow. Even ABS system did not have to operate in my vehicle. In my old Ford Mondeo I had some Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance and they lasted for seven seasons! The Goodyear UG Performance G1 tyres are even better! They are worth their price. I am definitely not disappointed. I do recommend them!

I have felt a significant difference once I exchanged my old Kleber HP2s to these Goodyear UG Performance G1 tyres. My driving style is quite aggressive. The tyres provide very good grip in wet weather. I have an impression that they provide better traction in winter than my summer tyres (Continental ContiSportContact5) in dry conditions. My old Klebers cannot be even compared to these tyres. I usually drive on non-urban roads, less frequently in a city or on a highway. I do recommend the Goodyear UG Performance G1. I am very pleased with their quality.
