Winter driving conditions can be unpredictable - posinghazards that increase the risk of accidents. In addition tosnow, ice, wet and slush, drivers can encounter dangerousblack ice, which occurs unexpectedly with the onset offreezing temperatures. Always at the cutting edge oftechnological innovation, Goodyear now introduces UltraGripPerformance 2.

The revolutionary tyre UltraGrip Performance 2 with AdaptiveSipeGrip Technology provides two different types of sipesincorporated into one tyre. In addition, it features a directionaltread design and new silica tread compound for excellent grip.The UltraGrip Performance 2, which has been independentlytested by the German Testing and Certification CompanyTÜV SÜD Automotive, contributes to a highly sophisticateddriving performance in all winter conditions: from snow and iceto wet and dry.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
