Like so many things, Winter is beautiful, but dangerous. The astonishing new UltraGrip7+ cold weather tyre delivers unparalleled control in hazardous, temperamental Winter conditions and allows you to enjoy driving under the most difficult conditions. This model is a more advanced version of tyres Goodyear Ultra Grip 6, which has long established itself as one of the best friction winter tires. Figure tread became more expressive, and the location of the blocks provides more reliable and comfortable driving in severe winter conditions.
Feature:
Waffle Blades
Tread Pitching and Block Design
Optimised tread compound
Double “V” Grooving Advanced carcass design
Action:
The next generation of 3D BIS blades giving optimised grip and traction
Reduced noise frequency peaks
Adapts to changing Winter conditions using new generation polymer blends with broader temperature range
Directional grooves to cut through snow
Benefits:
For superb handling across all Winter conditions from day and wet to slush, snow and ice
For a smoother, more comfortable drive in all conditions
Superior snow and ice performance with enhanced wet performance
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.

23.04.2012from Stead I was sceptical about winter tyres however having used them I would never go back! It made driving in the snow and ice so much safer and more comfortable. When I could see other cars wheels spinning on ice mine didn't even flinch. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
24.06.2011fromMalc So much better than standard tyres in snow and ice
06.06.2011from Stalwart Excellent in the snow, cold & wet. Masses of control in the snow - perhaps gives too much confidence. Slight drop in performance when the weather is warm and dry, and then also becomes a little noisy. Excellent wear during winter. No summer experience, took them off in March.
03.03.2011fromJeremy Wonderful in snow and mud, markedly better traction and handling than with top-grade Summer tyres. Transformed the car with a larger safety margin. Wear is 'normal' due to use in cold, wet conditions.
