The Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Gen-1 is a studless winter passenger tire engineered to deliver excellent grip and high handling performance across all winter conditions. Carrying the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification, this tire meets severe snow service requirements and is built for performance-oriented coupes and sedans that demand confident winter capability.
At the core of the Ultra Grip Performance Gen-1 is an advanced silica-based compound that maintains rubber elasticity at low temperatures, ensuring consistent traction and braking performance even in freezing conditions. The asymmetric tread pattern optimizes maneuverability, handling, and control, while Goodyear's TredLock Technology features a network of microgrooves that bite into icy, slushy, and packed snow surfaces for shorter stopping distances and enhanced grip.
Wide circumferential grooves efficiently channel water and slush away from the contact patch, providing strong resistance to hydroplaning on wet winter roads. Shoulder blocks add additional biting edges for improved cornering stability, and the overall tread design maintains consistent road contact for responsive, predictable steering.
Goodyear's SoundComfort Technology reduces road noise during operation, delivering a quieter, more comfortable ride without compromising winter performance. Rim-protecting sidewall construction helps guard against curb damage. This size carries a Mercedes-Benz OE (MO) approval.
