German car magazine Auto Bild sportscars has published the results of its winter tyre test, with Goodyear’s UltraGrip Performance+ coming out on top as the overall winner.
Goodyear’s latest winter tyre is praised for its exemplary handling in all weather conditions. Auto Bild sportscars applauded the UltraGrip Performance+ for its handling on snowy surfaces in particular.
The tyre came out as the overall winner in the test, during which eleven tyres were assessed according to 14 separate criteria. The UltraGrip Performance+ was the best in several aspects. Regardless of the weather conditions, it always had the shortest braking distance. On a wet surface, the test vehicle fitted with the Goodyear tyres only needed 45.7 meters to stop at 100 km/h, 1.5 meters less than its closest competitor. On snow, the UltraGrip Performance+ had a braking distance of 27.6 meters, 0.4 meters shorter than the next competitor. The tyre also had the best performance in handling and aquaplaning on a wet surface.
Auto Bild sportscars describes the handling of the UltraGrip Performance+ as exemplary in all weather conditions. The magazine also praised the tyre for its dynamic wet handling and very good braking qualities on snowy surfaces. Last but not least, the tyre impressed with its low rolling resistance.
Mike Rytokoski, Vice-President, Chief Marketing Officer Europe for Goodyear: “The Auto Bild sportscars winter tyre test is the second acknowledgement for the recently launched Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+, after having won the winter tyre test carried out by AUTO MOTOR UND SPORT in September. Proof that our latest Goodyear winter tyre is one of the best on the market.”
