Ultragrip Performance GEN1 Features

Goodyear Ultragrip Performance GEN1 tires feature a V-Tread directional tread pattern incorporating a number of innovations. The main innovation is the design of the tire’s central section, which features a large number of blocks that provide significantly better traction on snow. The number of tread blocks was increased by reducing their size.

The symmetrically arranged tread blocks contain countless thousands of 3D sipes that open up upon contact with the road surface, creating additional gripping edges. This solution has significantly improved the tire’s performance on ice.
