The UltraGrip Ice+ is the winter tyre that keeps your car performing in Nordic winter conditions.
Outstanding performance on ice and snow
Aggressive grip for all winter road conditions
Highly resistant to aquaplaning
Good dry handling
Outstanding performance on ice and snow. The UltraGrip Ice+ is designed for better cornering, uphill driving and braking on compacted snow and ice. The tyre delivers better all-round performance than leading competitors on the toughest cold-weather roads.*
Good dry handling. The UltraGrip Ice+ is built to handle whatever winter brings, including milder days. The tread compound features a soft top layer for extreme cold conditions, while a firmer bottom layer delivers responsive dry handling in warmer weather.
Reduced risk of aquaplaning. Keep in control on thawing roads with a V-shaped tread design that rapidly channels water and slush. The UltraGrip Ice+ offers better aquaplaning resistance and shorter braking distances on wet roads than leading competitors.** V-shaped tread grooves quickly channel water away from the tyre surface, helping you keep control on wet or slushy roads.
Aggressive grip for all winter road conditions. Grip the road with Goodyear’s Snow Grasper tread, which bites into snow as the tyre rotates. ActiveGrip Technology keeps traction in icy conditions, with a soft ice compound top layer that provides excellent grip in low temperatures. Hybrid sipes maintain tread stiffness over the entire tread depth, ensuring high levels of ice traction throughout the life of the tyre.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

13.11.2012fromKeld Duracell Excellent tyre. Very comfy and easily controllable in all types of weather. No oversteering or slides on snow, extremely sporty M+S tyre. More fun than any other winter tires i´ve ever used - very grippy. Braking is very good in snow - but not excellent. Great in rain or mushy conditions.
Much much better than my previous Michelin Alpin A2´s.
