Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+SUV tyres are a tried and true technology that has proven to work well for a wide range of passenger car drivers and have been adapted to meet the demands of SUVs. As one of the biggest advantages of this model, car owners consider noticeably short braking distances – regardless of whether the road surface is wet or dry. All thanks to the use of a new type of traction resin. This innovative solution allows the tyre to adapt easily to current road conditions.
Importantly, this model maintains the desired level of rubber elasticity. The compound has been developed to perform well in tough winter conditions. It gives you incomparably better grip not only on snow but also on ice.
The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+SUV also features a precise directional tread design. At first glance, you will notice that the grooves are wide and the blocks are arranged in a characteristic ’V’ shape. This pattern allows very good water drainage and minimizes the risk of dangerous aquaplaning.
Goodyear
Goodyear is a company whose history dates back to 1898, when Frank Seiberling founded the firm, named in honour of Charles Goodyear, the inventor of the rubber vulcanisation process. Over many decades, the company has made a name for itself as a pioneer of new technologies, developing, amongst other things, the first fully replaceable tyre and the forerunner to run-flat technology – the LifeGuard dual-tube tyre. It was on the American company’s innovative tyres that a car first broke the 600-mile-per-hour barrier, and they also accompanied the crew during the first successful moon landing. Today, Goodyear is one of the world’s largest tyre manufacturers, classified – and not without reason – in the highest premium segment. The American group owns brands such as Dębica, Fulda and Sava.
