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.

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.

23.04.2012 from 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!
24.06.2011 from Malc So much better than standard tyres in snow and ice
06.06.2011 from 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.
03.03.2011 from Jeremy 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.
