Reduced risk of aquaplaning Hydrodynamic grooves help to channel the water away from the tire surface - to reduce the risk of aquaplanning and improve traction on melting snow.
Excellent braking distance on snow Benefit from shorter braking distance when it matters most - thanks to Goodyear's SnowProtect Technology for superior winter performance.

08.06.2019fromMark Hobba Outstanding tyres. I researched winter tyres thoroughly online, looking at many comparison tests, and picked these. And they have lived up to my expectations. Highly recommended.
28.05.2019fromDarren We have had winter tyres fitted to our main family car for the last 8 years and are total converts to their benefits. This was the first year I have worked as a chauffeur and didn't hesitate to have them fitted. All Mercedes vehicles wear tyres out in certain areas before the whole tyre is ready for replacement, due to their steering geometry settings. The winter tyres have outlasted the 'summer' tyres in this aspect and are still fitted to the vehicle despite temperatures now remaining above the optimum seven degrees.
I totally recommend these tyres and will have them fitted next winter.
21.05.2019fromMIKE Not too sure about the breaking properties of tyres - I tend to have more interest in their braking properties. That aside, these tyres give extra confidence on snow and cold wet roads, but once the temperature starts to increase in Spring, there is the usual drop off of performance - as expected. Just switched back to Summer tyres after the second season with these Goodyears, and still 7 to 8mm tread depth left - more than you get with some NEW tyres.
