Features and benefits Feature Action Benefit

UltraGrip Ice+

Best tire for Nordic winter conditions* With the new stud-less Goodyear UltraGrip Ice+ tire, the most extreme winter conditions can be faced with more confidence. Innovative ActiveGrip technology ensures optimized contact with extremely slippery road surfaces, delivering leading performance on ice. UltraGrip Ice+ provides excellent performance in all Nordic circumstances, from compacted snow to slippery ice. From now on, drivers facing unexpected changes in weather or road conditions can rely on having more control with UltraGrip Ice+.Goodyear’s new UltraGrip Ice+ features ActiveGrip Technology; hybrid sipes functioning together with a dual cap compound to enable optimized contact with extremely slippery road surfaces, providing improved ice performance.

Dual cap compoundThe dual cap compound is comprised of two layers; a soft ice compound top layer, designed to provide excellent grip and traction in extremely low temperatures. The base layer of a harder ice compound, provides good dry handling performance at higher temperatures.

3% more control on ice*

3% shorter braking on snow*

Independent performance tests against 3 leading competitor winter tires run by Test World, the international independent testing organization, delivered impressive results:• 8% better performance on average1

• 3% shorter braking on snow2

• 3% more control on ice2

• 11% shorter braking distance on wet2

Hybrid sipesThese sipes being a combination of waffle and zigzag sipes, have been designed to maintain longitudinal tread stiffness over the entire tread depth. This provides optimal grip on snow and ice throughout the full tire life.
