Let me feel confident on any winter road, and on the off-road to become a king.
How it is found at the manufacturers of winter tires, the presentation site (it took place at the end of last winter) and the familiarization test of new products were chosen roads and frozen lakes of Northern Sweden in the Ore region. In addition to the debugged infrastructure, these places were chosen and because winter in Scandinavia and a number of regions of Russia are rather similar in nature with very strong frosts and low humidity. According to Goodyear, it is precisely under the conditions and a tire of UltraGrip ICE 2. As expected in the company, it will be in demand, first of all, residents of large cities, where snow drifts and ice on the road - the phenomenon is relatively rare, but the morning ice is regularly .
Compared to the previous model, UltraGrip ICE 2 has undergone a number of key changes. The most important of them - the grown fitness of the tire to operate in conditions below -25 ° C, improved controllability on a snowy coating and ice, as well as a clearer clutch with a winter road. Technologically achieved due to the use of a cryo-adaptive rubber mixture. It is argued in GoodYear that it remains elastic even at very low temperatures and allows the bus to preserve a good grip with a very slippery surface. Controlness and braking in the snow and ice are achieved thanks to the lamellas located perpendicular to the direction of the tire movement - they look like the caterpillars of the randa. Tires literally vague in the snow or ice covering the road canvas.
The first races on the front-wheel drive diesel AUDI A3, equipped with UltraGrip Ice 2, were carried out on two sites. On the first we checked the control of the tires on the rolled snow, on the second, the snow areas were alternating with ice carriers. The truthfulness of the manufacturer's applications about the quality we checked in comparison with Nokian Hakka R2, Michelin X-Ice XI3 and Continental Conti Viking Contact5.
Subjectively, the novelty was felt at about one level or a little better than Nokian and drove in the snow slightly less "more fun" than Continental, but noticeably better than Michelin X-ICE XI3. Goodyear bus controllability seemed to me more projected and clear compared to Nokian. Much more interesting was the comparison of these tires in the braking test, which was carried out on the placed area using the Racelogic instruments.
Despite the fact that Nokian won all competitors in braking on meter-two, and Goodyear and Conti were equally good on acceleration and exceeded Nokian on this parameter. On average, the braking path on the Goodyear bus was about 42-44 meters, the Nokian was able to resist within 40. But these figures are relative and far from accurate measurements in the same conditions, as it should be on full tests.
Standard condition for such tests - the speed of movement is not higher than 50 km / h. It is dictated by the European movement regime in the city, but there is another nuance - the results. During one of the races on the Michelin tire, exceeding the speed of only 10 km / h, I suddenly realized that the brakes of the car simply stopped exist. The pedal depressed in the floor and barely labby the seat reserve for the extruded versa of ABS on the "Treshka" did not help much, and I have already started to estimate, which board it is better to get into the snow brush to save the non-cheap bumper and optics - to spoil the car, albeit the insured, Extremely did not want. As a result, the car succeeded far beyond the mark, on which, leaning, it was necessary to go to turn. Testing the rest of the test participants in this mode did not want ...
It seems to be a choice for a citizen should be obvious - you need to take that rubber that slows down better. After all, an extra ten centimeters is exactly what separates the car owner from the transformation into a body service client. But in practice, realizing that the life of the urban driver is not limited to trips to the collected cold asphalt, when choosing it is worth considering the controllability and behavior of the tire outside the city streets. For me personally, a choice in favor of spikes is obvious and familiarity with the new studded bus for crossover UltraGrip Ice Arctic SUV turned out to be a wonderful argument in favor of "nails".
UltraGrip Ice Arctic SUV is a new generation of Goodyear's tires, which was created specifically for operation in the harsh climatic conditions of Scandinavian countries and some regions of Russia, where the air temperature on a regular winter day can be lowered up to minus 25-30 ° C and below. In the company's lineup, the novelty takes place under Eagle UltraGrip and UltraGrip 8 and next to the UltraGrip 500 model.
The latter and call as the starting point for comparison. During the presentation, goodyear experts claimed that the novelty exceeds UltraGrip 500 SUV according to such indicators as improved handling and clutch on ice. This is implemented using the Multicontrol ICE technology, which is the installation at an angle of directional spikes with a wider carbide insert and the optimized distribution. The new shape of the base of spikes makes them more stable, and the wide rear edge is necessary for more efficient braking. The optimized distribution of spikes improves the adhesion with the road and reduces the level of external noise.
Controllability on snow and slush is achieved thanks to the V-shaped lamellae and open grooves of the shoulder zone. To pass a deep snow, the tractor zone has a sawdressed design and effectively captures the snow along the edges of the tire, the wide grooves are removed, and the silica, which is part of the rubber mixture, makes more efficient braking on a wet road with a larger energy dissipation.
During the test, held in December 2013, Test World on three different European polygons - in Finland, Luxembourg and Germany on the BMW X5, UltraGrip Ice Arctic SUV were lit in the categories "Brake Way in the Snow", "Coupling on the Snow", "Handling on snow". UltraGrip Ice Arctic SUV tires also demonstrated excellent results in the following categories: "The shortest braking path on ice", "Ice handling", "clutch on ice". We were unofficially hinted that the same tires were used as competitors on these tests that we had on the day of presentation - Hakka 7 SUV, Michelin XICE North2, Continental ContiCecontact 4x4.
Unfortunately, on that day, the temperature on the ice of the lake did not fall below -7. So in the preservation of brake qualities at extremely low temperatures I had to believe the word. The same acquaintance was held on the highway, partially consisting of snow-based on the snow, and partly - from Oak. The configuration of the site was made of start-up direct, protracted turn, followed by a section of overclocking, still pairs of low-speed turns, straight and medium over the length of the "five", followed by the exit to directly with the S-shaped portion and the braking section.
The effectiveness of braking was assessed on the eyes - by the number of cones, evenly arranged at a distance of 50 meters. And here it was possible to check how stable when braking the "pedal to the floor" Audi Q5, wagged into the tires from Goodyear and from competitors. In the first of the first, the outsider was obvious - Michelin. On the braking section, the car stopped on a couple of buildings for the last cone. But that was only the beginning. After entering the turn on the car with the disabled ESP (with the activated system, in such conditions, it is possible to drive very smoothly and slowly) in one time it was possible to export from the bars, and on the straight stretch with naked ice the crossover was noticeably dull. The result of the circle on Michelin was close to that showed the passage of a plot in calm urban mode with a month-old gradual motor included electronic assistants - 55 seconds.
The picture is strikingly changed when we transplanted on Q5 with Nokian, Conti and Goodyear tires. The two latter demonstrated impeccable ice behavior, predicted reactions in turn. As in the tower of the friction tire, Nokian was, according to my feelings, it is better in braking, although the presentation charts gave the Poland of the Goodyear championship here. But as for manageability on ice and snow, here Goodyear was the nostril in the nostril with Conti, only a little bit losing in overclocking on ice after turn. On the raceLogus, this difference looked like 44 and 42 seconds, respectively. For the sensations of both tires left the most favorable impression, the crossover equally retained the course and stability in turns. The choice here will already determine the presence of a suitable size and financial capabilities of the car owner. However, the price tag for all participants in the test is almost the same and is located in the region of 7-8 thousand rubles. Behind the tire in dimension 215/50R17 or 225 / 55R17. So, rather, the conditions of operation and driving style will be decisive again.
It's time to think about shoes on the next winter season. Traditionally, in addition to the financial component, the choice will be determined within the framework of all the same dilemma - studded or frictional? As a response to this question, Goodyear suggested at once two new tire models of the UltraGrip - UltraGrip Ice 2 and UltraGrip Ice Arctic SUV. We test the novelties in the north of Sweden.

disadvantages
What is written here: rowing, noise is a little, handling .. I have all the spikes rolled, although I took from the design, with other spikes behaves the same way. Noise (hum) terrible. I didn't find anything good in it, I will try the other, I do not advise familiar.

Externally look very beautiful, drawing of the tread "checkered" is just a class! The landing place of the fastening of spikes is triangular, the verges contribute to a smaller drop in spikes. Although for seven seasons of use, several spikes still flew around) Snow, fresh, just falling, rowing with a bang, just like on the tractor, it is fond on the wheel arches, in this place the tire is simply great! The soft makeup of rubber contributes to a good hold from a frozen asphalt, although not on frozle too. Silent, soft tires.
disadvantages
At the entrance to the rotation on the frozle, the asphalt, as well as with just dropped snow, can demolish it, so it is necessary to take turns very carefully. On the rolled snow and ice problems with the entrance in turn there are no, like on rails.
Comment
The tires are very soft in composition, subject to lateral deformation, so strictly stored in the off-season vertically, if horizontally, there may be problems with installation, the cord is deformed.

In the snow rowing perfectly, on ice and rolled snow confident.
disadvantages
Noise, 60-80 km / h, as a jet plane on takeoff, one of the most noisy (I do not critically, I knew about it).
Comment
Good handling on any coating. In the snow and kashe rings and do not break off. Spikes for 4 months everything is in place. On the highway it goes well, passed the movements at speed, the car in the direction of loose snow does not pull. I won't say about softness, because it was missed with the load index, for my car 95 a lot, the car is harder, here is really soft.

In the snowy winter is the most. By snowdrifts, rows as a tractor. On ice is also normal.
Reducing the brake path on ice
The innovative shape of the spike makes it even more sustainable, which maximizes the power of braking on the ice.
Excellent clutch and ice handling
Get the advantages of improved ice handling due to GOODYEAR Multicontrol Ice technology. This revolutionary spike manufacturing technology increases the spike area of \u200b\u200bspikes with a road surface, which provides high-performance clutch and car handling when driving on ice.
Improved snow handling
Experience the advantages of better control under any conditions with snow on the roads. Unique V-shaped slots and jar on grooves improve adhesion with a snow-covered road. When moving through deep snow, specially designed shoulder blocks cling to snow from the side of the tire.
Good indicators on a wet road
Tires UltraGrip Ice Arctic demonstrate high efficiency on wet and sliding snow or ice roads. The hydrodynamic grooves on the tread will quickly remove water from the surface of the tire, reducing the risk of aquaplaning. Special silicon polymer improves grip and braking on a wet road.
Denis about Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic
Rolled out on this rubber from 10.13 to 04.14 Khabarovsk region, the average temperature in winter -30 *, a lot of snow, the roads cleanonly from the house of the mayor and to the city administration. We want to say, rubber satisfied, was balanced well for 15gram on the wheel about the wheel, and one thing even did not have to ship. The first impressions are very noisy after the summer, but I think it's fine for spikes, although yesterday somewhat month the noise decreased significantly, it can accustomed, and maybe the spikes trembled x ... it knows, in short, not fatally But rushing like a tank, the tread drawing is arranged so, the evil Christmas tree. Times, ice, on the ice a little worse, but worse in what plan the car slows down perfectly, by the way in the rearview mirror, look more often, you get up and the back someone will not get up, personal experience. But Here to touch from the traffic light problematic, the rubber slippers, you need to get used to it, I'm used to get used to quietly, and then we will accelerate, accelerate well spikes crash into ice normally. Ski, ice descents. Lifts, all sorts of ski resorts Rubber satisfied, according to the ratio, the price is better to believe me will not find. Today pereobulsya in the summer, you can view the rubber on the lichni of spikes that we have the front wheels -9 spikes from the wheel, the rear -3ship, I think for the full winter season is normal, given that there are about hundreds of them on the wheel somewhere % 20 Locked, I think on 2 - the season should still be enough.

Wasya about Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic
205/60/16 96T unexpectedly, but perhaps the best that I tried only ~ 10 models of different riding. The first thing that I will pay attention to the reader's reader of my valuable revocation is the behavior of the tire on the ice. With a small number of spikes clings at the level of Konti Ice contact, who leaves for ice, heard about the remittance. Good hook and braking, rear axis demolition is uniform and predictable. Figure spikes decide! Oddly enough, but the first 3000 km I went to warmth and pure asphalt. At the expense of a small number of spikes and soft rubber, it is quite comfortable, Michelin and Bridge is strongly noisy. Very adequately behaves in warm weather, does not swim, does not walk at the speed of 180 throughout the highway. On the water on the asphalt, very confidently stormed the deep puddles, feel comfortable after the summer slut.Awesome rowing on snow kashe, snow drifts and rhesis storm easily on the front drive. If you are tightly compared in Bridgestone SPIKE01, the course stability in Houdier is an order of magnitude better, Bridge walked at speed and seemed in the steering wheel as it is unnecessary hard and sports. Excellent advice of comfort and scandinavian nature, I recommend especially for a four-wheel drive.

Nikolay About Tire Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic
I took a set, at the end of this year. Very pleased with the price with a good discount. Even the question voiced, in response - official representatives of the manufacturer. The work of staff at a high level, call back, the answer is quickly. When I ordered the freshness of rubber. The girl clarified in a warehouse, called back - all rubber 4 quarter 2015, and upon receipt really November. Delivery of transport quickly, and the girls look at what company is cheaper. Up management satisfied. As for Goodyra. Mileage is small (he took February), so I won't say for wear. Very nice holder on ice, near the house turn under the hill, the neighbor in the side of the side carefully installed "enclosing" pipes ????, on the same tires always afraid to float in them. At Goodrax, the turn passes clearly, without the slightest system. Very pleased. European car, clearance low, but on this rubber on snow rows confidently, and since the spouse has the same VW there is an opportunity to compare the behavior of the same machines on the same sites almost simultaneously. And on the goodere rows confident. As for noise, so it's not that so much strains, of course, there is no troceit, but there is no buzz. In general, Rubber is pleased, the second set of the spouse will take the same way as well as good discounts and money coincide.Also took in this store a set of summer rubber. I took a bears, because both on the second car summer bears, and the remaining two wheels are still on the spares. Prices in stores are comparable, worthy of shares on summer tires for some reason not Bulo, therefore, it was purchased here. Bears there are bears, no bad fastening price is invalid, just a month later I stupidly made the sidewall (well, it's soft) and again proven by, now with one teddy bear. All three times the work of Megogers on top, I hope good reviews will not spoil them. Thank you.

Mikhail About Tire Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic
Size 205/55 R16, Auto Ford Focus2, 2.0 (145 hp). This is the second mine, which I put these tires. And if you have changed, then only for the better (there were also in the dimension of 175/65 R14 at 2110). Dry asphalt, wet, snow, ice - everything is predictable and confident, within the framework of the permissible naturally. At the beginning, noisy, after 1000 become quieter, now the second season is practically not heard, very satisfied.Their elements are snow, here are all the best qualities of these tires. In a blizzard or snowfall on a country track, a confident movement with overtakers and rebuildings. Slaux in the snow in the courtyard they are unrealistic - pull out! Aquaplaning does not feel that puddles that snow-water porridge is very confident. After the first season (~ 8 t.km), 1-2 spikes were lost on leading wheels. Total! Driving style moderate-aggressive, there are also active acceleration and braking. Sacks try not to allow, but sometimes happen on the hills - the spikes hold! Forgive me to the pit, here, I think, the developers worked separately, and it makes it happy - in the first year of these tires, read reviews about what exploded on innocuous pits. The witness itself, on the 10th in the first week after the purchase, threw one wheel. Now everything is much more reliable. Well, if the trouble happens, and it is not even excluded with our roads, then good year gives a premium guarantee 1 year (http: // Site / News / Premium-Garantiya-Goodyear /), I have already taken advantage, damaged the wheel hitting Steel uncomplicated drain tray, which like to put some owners of garages. Team Mosavtoshina Huge thanks !!! We highly recommend these tires, all familiar who are used as very pleased. The main thing is to remember that no one has canceled physicists, and whatever tires are none, winter is winter.

Danila about the tire Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic Honest Feedback
Reliable tires2 Tires - the first season on the drive axis, the second on the slave. Lost ~ 40-50% of spikes. Replacement.
2 Tires - the first season on the slave, the second and third season on the lead, while lost 15-20%, no more. I bought 2 new, put on the ledged axis, next year I change places and still ride and ride ..
Conclusion - we need running in definitely. Style - moderate, urban. Without slipping, it is generally difficult to ride in the winter, the car is such, a little gas gave more - breaks the wheels, the rear is loaded only by the handbrake sometimes.
The price is more than comfortable. Everyone is written about balancing - I did not meet with such a problem and did not find it.
The grip in a straight line is, turns well, without complaints, the moment of breaking the rear axle is intuitive, demolition of the front (as the front-wheel drive) is controlled - a little let go of the gas pedal - drove both by rails.
There is a braking, and good that surprised, because studded tires.
Without complaints, rebuilding without any problems, everything grinds.
The braking is good if under Cashitz ice - too, without any problems, since the tread drawing spreads everything in different directions, which allows the rubber to cling.
Turns are super, the main thing is not to play and do not fly at too much speed. It raises the rubber too much.
Eats like Mole, no problems, pushing the bumper snowdrift and prey as a tank. Allows you to park on the snowdrifts. Stuck once when I caught a diagonal - I pulled out me L200, filmed first to the shovel. In the evening parked into a snowdrift, and in the morning it was estimated, did not go to the end).
Braking good, I did not notice any problems.
Rebuilding in the blizzard, without complaints, on the even gas, absolutely intuitive control.
Turns - see above.
Thaw:
All is well, the puddles are not noticeable, the aquaplaning was not observed.
Rubber is very soft, up to +2 degrees all the rules, and to + 4-5 sensations are completely different.
The only time for the 3 seasons when he felt discomfort - December 2017, when everything was eliminated and was up to +5 degrees. I thought I had some kind of nonsense only, but no - Hakka 9 on the sedan (225/45p17), the friend also became cotton. So in comparison - all the rules.
The main drawback is noise. As on UAZ (joke). For a long time in the car additionally installed complete noise insulation - there are no problems especially notice. All wines - a tread pattern, which in general without longitudinal grooves. But here you choose you - silence or hook.
Before that was on Hakkapelita (different, many seasons and on different cars), Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 5000 (1.5 seasons - all spikes flew) and the last 3 seasons on this rubber.

Andrey About Tire Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic Honest Feedback
Move on this rubber with also UltraGrip, but not studded.By comfort, of course, the difference is huge. After 80 km / h, noise is very strong, and 120 km / h flies all other sounds in the car.
When only pervassed the first time, some vitality was felt and in management - I understand that the rubber is very mild even compared to the velcro. But then it seems to get used to.
However, this is the price for the possibility of braking on ice! Literally in the first week of use, snow fell, then everything was dropped / frozen and there was a rink on the merganas. I ran through the habit with fear, the tropary brake pedal gently and affectionately - and the ABS, which by this moment on the velcro is red and swollen, silent, wheels are not blocked. And so for this, I forgive all the inevitable minuses for spikes - when it slows like it still slows down.
True, for some reason, when overclocking on a slippery, the difference with velcro is not so noticeable as when braking. Apparently, the front-wheel drive car also plays the role.
Of course, most of the winter on the streets of the city of Snow is still not. Therefore, I will separately say about the ride on the asphalt - noisy. But otherwise everything is OK. The braking path is if more than that of the velcro, it is only in emergency braking to the floor, and with a calm ride, I did not notice any damage to braking on the asphalt.
For an almost ending winter, I have not yet seen the hips, but these are the cypsings that will need to be considered in the spring when rebuilding.
In general, the rubber is not particularly comfortable. But but I know that if you have to slow down - I will have a good chance and it will inspire calmness. The main thing is not to start riding more aggressive))

Yegor About Tire Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic
It was my first tires of this company, after which I became a faithful fan of Goodyear. Goodyear stands its money, the price-quality ratio is just perfect, this is a really high-quality product. After Ice Arctic already took two sets of ICE 2, now I will order a summer effectGrip compact. Since the winter in the south is not a harsh, studded rubber, I took the first and last time, sorry for spikes on bare asphalt. But nevertheless, a couple of periods of winter all the same, nature presented to us, I told the moment tested this rubber and along and across and was pleasantly surprised. Despite the fact that the VAZ 2107 rear-wheel drive and does not have any helpers like ABS and anti-snobs, the car behaved on the road very confident. He overtook from a rut in a rut, and boldly, even the hint was not for some slip, loss of control, as if a complete drive of some kind of sensation. Tried to spin on her on the site, lack the engine power so that the tires lost the tap, tried to do, also did not work, as he did not try, the rear axle does not overtake the front. I tried something like that, I accelerate on a straight food and then I sharply give gas to the floor, I feel like a rubber slipping literally half a second, the rear axle is going to slip a little, just as if to go to the side and immediately for a moment Baz and again the hook and the car catches the back axis back. In general, in general, I mocked this rubber, in the lifting quietly, at which other cars were bouted and could not call, the rubber is just a buzz. In the deep snow, it was driving, because of the tractor tread, she and rowing like a tractor, FIG is stuck, even on the Internet video there is both a VAZ 21099 rows in deep snow on such rubber. On the dry asphalt, this rubber had to travel 2/3 of the winter, the loss of spikes left 1-2 spikes from each wheel, I consider it a great result for operation, which is mostly an asphalt. Then I sold the car along with the rubber, so unfortunately I can not say how many seasons she served. The only minus that she is very noisy, the hum at the speed was as if he was flying on Boeing, although it was on a VAZ seven, and on a foreign car with a good shine may not be so noticeable. If you live somewhere in the north with real winter and not cleaned roads, take a look at this rubber, she will not let you down.Now there is no wonder, the spikes produces when braking, hear immediately.On the snowy kash, excellent permeability, leave the rut - without problems.
Fresh deep snow, ice, very comfortable. Recommend.
(Enjoyed such on Logan, the same sensations from the ride.)
Disadvantages:
Some stores began to "break" the price, at the Hakki 8 level.
