The winter tyre that delivers outstanding snow traction
The UltraGrip 8 is the winter tyre that that delivers braking performance and grip when it matters most.
Winter is a challenging time for most drivers: plummeting temperatures and road conditions change suddenly – from snow to slush, from wet to ice, from dry to wet. Cold Weather tyres, combined with appropriate driving skills and behaviour during these unpr. The winter tire that delivers outstanding snow traction.
Shorter braking distances on snow
Extra grip on winter roads
Improved handling
High aquaplaning resistance
Shorter braking distances on snow. Benefit from shorter braking distances when it matters most, thanks to Goodyear’s 3D-BIS Technology®. This interlocking block system helps deliver braking distances on snow that are one meter shorter than the average performance of competitors’ winter tyres.*
Extra grip on winter roads. Enjoy confident grip in all cold-weather conditions. The winter tread compound maintains high grip levels at temperatures below 7 °C. The compound is long-wearing to give you extra mileage from your winter tyres.
Improved handling. Goodyear’s 3D BIS Technology® improves handling in unpredictable winter weather – from wet and dry roads, to ice, snow and slush. The optimized tyre shape puts more rubber in contact with the road, increasing control in slippery conditions. The UltraGrip 8 maintains handling performance even as the tire wears, thanks to a next generation V-tread design.
High aquaplaning resistance. The UltraGrip 8 reduces the risk of aquaplaning on slushy or wet roads. A double V-groove – one groove for evacuating water and one for gripping snow – ensures good control in wet and thawing conditions. When tested against competitors' tires, the UltraGrip 8 offered 16% better resistance to aquaplaning on curved roads.**

16.05.2015fromglyn waller An excellent tyre,superb traction in snow,very predictable grip on wet corners,will definitely buy again when these wear out, which maybe a long time as they are lasting well.
27.12.2014fromPMullen I have used these tyres on previous cars and find them excellent winter tyres. I believe everyone in the UK should fit winter tyres for the winter season.
24.12.2014fromAdrian I keep them on all year round, just have to take it a bit easier on the hot days in summer.
04.09.2014fromPeter Mahr much better than the Kumho tyres I had before
