GOODYEAR UltraGrip 8 Tyres
Goodyear UltraGrip 8 car tyres have been developed for winter driving. With an amazing twenty-eight metre reduction in stopping distance on snow. Winter tyres have a difficult job to do with temperatures changing from mild to freezing conditions alongside dry road conditions one minute to wet roads the next.
The UltraGrip 8 is a directional tyre which has a special patent for its tread and block pattern. The 3D Block interlocking system or BIS for short, this new technology runs throughout the whole of the tread. This new technology offers improved handling and shorter braking distances. Any advantage in stopping distances could save you from having an accident.
Other unique technologies include the winter tread compound. This unique compound is designed to save you money in wear and fuel bills; it also offers better traction on the road. This tyre delivers a higher net contact area with the road. You have to take into consideration that each tyre only covers about the same area as one of your footprints on the road, therefore every millimetre of additional contact area helps to improve traction. The higher net area also helps improve wet road performance with less chance of aquaplaning. The last technology to mention is the next generation v-tread design, this helps improve the tyre’s side grip. It also helps the tyres’ performance as the tread is reduced due to wear.
