Kelly Winter Access Studdable Winter Tire

The Kelly Winter Access is a studdable winter tire engineered for passenger cars, minivans, and SUVs that demand confident, reliable performance in severe cold-weather conditions. Built on Goodyear engineering expertise, the Winter Access delivers serious winter capability at an accessible price point — making quality winter safety available to more drivers.

At the heart of the Winter Access is a directional V-shaped tread pattern designed to channel water and slush rapidly away from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk and maintaining firm grip on wet and wintry road surfaces. A continuous center rib ensures consistent road contact throughout every drive, contributing to sharper steering response and enhanced driving stability on cold pavement.

Key Features:

• 2D Full-Depth Zigzag Sipes: Full-depth zigzag blade siping bites aggressively into packed snow and ice to maximize traction and shorten braking distances in severe winter conditions
• Winter-Optimized Tread Compound: A proprietary rubber formulation stays pliable at freezing temperatures, preserving grip and flexibility when conventional all-season tires stiffen and lose effectiveness
• Directional V-Shaped Tread Pattern: Circumferential and lateral grooves work together to evacuate water and slush efficiently, maintaining surface contact and guarding against hydroplaning
• Continuous Center Rib: Promotes consistent road contact for improved steering responsiveness and driving stability across cold and wintry surfaces
• Optimized Shoulder Tread Blocks: Increased biting edges along the shoulder enhance cornering grip and maneuvering confidence during winter driving
• Studdable Design: Pre-molded pin holes allow optional stud installation for maximum ice traction in the most demanding winter climates — run studded or studdless based on local conditions
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Rated: Certified to meet severe snow service performance requirements, confirming the Winter Access delivers when winter conditions are at their worst

The Kelly Winter Access also prioritizes ride comfort — the directional tread's continuous center rib allows the tire to closely follow the road surface, absorbing road disturbances and minimizing cabin vibration for a smoother, quieter winter commute. Available across a wide range of sizes to fit passenger cars, minivans, and light trucks, the Winter Access brings proven winter engineering to drivers who refuse to compromise on cold-weather safety.
