GOODYEAR Tires

Goodyear winter tires

No matter what you are looking for in a winter tire, Goodyear winter tires are designed for several different types of drivers and vehicles.

The WinterCommand tire is amongst the most popular, and has been named one of the best winter tires on the market by trusted sources like, for example, The Auto Guide. It includes cutting-edge technologies such as:

• SideGrip and Active Block Cuts technology;
• ActiveGrip technology;
• V-Tred groove technology.

Winter tires also include the Ultra-Grip tire models, with their directional tread, like the Ultra-Grip Eagle and 8 Performance tires, specially designed for winter sports driving on all vehicles.

The Ultra Grip Ice is –as its name describes- an ice specialist, thanks to its tread compound and 3D TredLock sipe technology found on the shoulders. When it comes to the Ultra Grip Winter, it offers remarkable performance on all surfaces. In fact, in average, for braking in the snow, they require 1.8 meters less than all of its competitors!

Finally, if you are looking for tires with solid off-road skills, two all-terrain winter tires are offered: the Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse and the Wrangler SilentArmor. The first is specially designed for remarkable solidity in snow, mud, gravel and wet conditions.

The second adds to these skills an extra Kevlar DuPont layer, for a smoother and less noisy driving experience on paved roads. The Durawall technology also allows great performance on rocky terrain, with low risks of damage or wear and tear.

No matter what your needs are, you are sure to find the perfect winter tire with Goodyear! Take note that Dunlop also belongs to Goodyear, and offers all-terrain winter tires like the Grandtrek, or performance tires like the SP Winter Sport.
