Goodyear Ultra Grip 8

Working for one of the UKs emergency services I have to get to work in all weathers, when these tyres cost no more than the same brand summer tyre I thought I would give them ago. My car does not have traction control ETC, it only has ABS so ideal for testing tyres with. Not done many miles in the snow except for boxing day 2014 up the A50 Markfield hill. I drove up the hill in lane 2 whilst everyone else slipped and slithered in lane 1, the car was stable and secure. In the wet the perform very well showing no sign of aquaplaning at all even when travelling at speed. In the frosty mornings there is no slipping at junctions or under braking. These tyres have a softer compound and so in the heat of summer they do feel a bit soft around the corners and braking is not so good as a summer tyre. I expected them to wear quicker than a summer tyre but I still have 6mm tread left after driving 12000 miles. perhaps nosier than the summer tyres but the radio still works. I have not assessed appearance as they are round and black, like all the other brands. If I have to make a choice I would rather drive these tyres in the summer than summer tyres in the winter. Bought a set for the wife and I wont now drive summer tyres in the winter again. Excellent tyres. Read more Collapse

I bought Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 in November 2011r. till the begining of March I made about 17.000 miles. I used Conti TS830 last season and I have to say that they are not so good. I have Kia Ceed Diesel 115BHp. Advantages: durable, low attriction, low noise level, very good driving comfort, good tracktion and braking. Disadvantages: no water-drain groove so there is problem with driving on snow-mud with speeds over 60MPH. Medium aquaplaning resist. Low side grip while cornering and poor braking on wet road surface. Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 is a efficient tyre but for this price I would like to have something better. Read more Collapse

Last year I had some 5year old winter tyres fro Pirelli. My car is a Bmw 5 series and like seven times I got stuck in snow or on ice. Braking- tragedy. This year I bought brand new Goodyear Ultra Grip 8. All the problems that I had before disappeared completely. Car pulls great even in the deepest of snow and the braking is superb in every condition. Cornering is great as well! They are rather quiet and that stays up to 80mph. I would recommend the Ultra Grip 8 to anyone whe seeks for versatile winter tyres, I think you might want to pay a few extra quid to get these Goodyears. Read more Collapse

For the last three years i've had Ultra Grip 7 with Goodyear and i must say I was very pleased. So when I changed my car I bought the new Ultra Grip 8 and that was a right call. Despite rather big roll-resistance they work briliantly in snow and slush. As well as on dry, really. I use this car to get to work every day. about 30 miles, few of which are on the motorway. Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 is 100% in evey way, so they are really worth the money you have to pay for them. I think there is no point in saving on something that potentially might save your life.

I previously had Barums and compared to Ultra Grip 8 - totally different world. Goodyear sits confidently on the road. I have them for a week now, but we had so much different weather conditions lately that I really had a chance to test them both in the wet and on dry, on fresh snow, slush and ice. I would need studs for the ice but in all the other conditions - worth recommending. Still, whatever tyre you have you still have to use common sense when driving in Winter. Read more Collapse

After using the previous model, Ultra Grip 7, I bought the new Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 without even reading any reviews (and still not many were available at that time). After having done a few thousand miles in Winter I can honestly recommend this latest model. No matter what the conditions are: snow, slush, wet - Ultra Grip copes extemely well. The handling inspires confidence and I am certain that I made a right choice. Recommend to all of you! Read more Collapse

Very good tyre for our climatic conditions. I bouth a set of these Ultra Grip 8 and fitted them on my Honda Jazz, relatively light car. They are great in corners and give you a sense of full control over the car. There is quite substantial margin for grip in winter conditions. Obiously, that is when we keep the common sense when driving and most importantly, adapting our driving to present weather conditions. Read more Collapse

In general, the Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 is quite good. Especially in snow and slush. Pulling off is safe and without any loss of grip. It keeps the direction without any wobbling or pulling to the sides. The only drawback of this Goodyear is the level of noise - if you may cosider it as one. It is just a matter of the profile of the tyre, you can't have everything. Read more Collapse

I would recommend this tyre without a shadow of doubt. The Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 works really well on both dry and wet. Much to my surprise it even handles reasonably well in slush, or when driving through a deep puddle. Once again, this is definitely to be recommended, it is really worth the price. For me, they are quiet too, even though they are Winter tyres. Read more Collapse

For the pirce I paid I was expecting something normal and ordinary. Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 was a pleasant surprise, I must say. The tyre is much better than others in this price range. I have them fitted on a small delivery van and they are just perfect!. I can totally recommend them and will certainly buy them again. Mark. Read more Collapse

Goodyar Ultra Grip 8 is a very good tyre. I have them on my Kia Cee'd 115bhp Estate - therefore it's not tested as a sport one. The tracktion provided is reasonably goods, saved my in a few bends already. My only issue is the level of noise - if you want a Winter tyre to be quiet it's better to look elsewhere.

Purchased tires Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 (made in Germany) is a very good tire on the road and the city (such searched and chose this model after konsuktacji advisor Oponeo - and this very important note, I pressed the man on the strength of what he wanted to sell, but listened to what criteria I presented him with respect to the tire I needed. Actually adviser suggested purchase this tire model from German, not Polish - the difference in the composition of the mixture from which the tire was produced). A little less succeed in kopnym snow (if anyone wants a tire on kopny snow let it buy Dębica Frigo - good traction on snow in other poor conditions). Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 is a tire that works very well on dry and wet roads (including slush). Very good drainage, good handling in the turns (pretty much put aside but sticks perfectly to the surface). Occasionally loss of adhesion occurred when starting OR ANY braking (even violent). Traction on ice do not judge - only here spines give advice: D Noise - as winter tires, a little louder than the summer. Wear the approximately 20 000 km. negligible. In conclusion, if someone is looking for secure, safe tires on the road and to the city in a wide speed range - definitely recommendable. Due to the professional service from the consultant summer tires probably also buy the in Oponeo. Read more Collapse

On tires Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 185/65/R 14 T drove three full winter seasons. In this czsasie beat 90,000 km - I can safely assume that 45,000 did ww.tyres winter. After driving that distance tires are still suitable for use and it seems that the next winter will not be the last - also a big plus for durability. Both dry and wet conditions gums are very certain. I have not experienced the phenomenon of water cushions, braking more than good. For wirażach also exercised a decent, maybe not sensational in the context of sport, but in accordance with its intended purpose - ensure safety in everyday use. Their purpose is winter and there a huge plus - snow and slush are not the conditions that allow the user to surprise those tires. I drove on them in the winter m.in route Gdańsk - Krakow. From Lodz conditions were terrible, the roads white. Tires give confidence which so far have not known. At the ice rink never feel certainty so do not utter - but the icy roads of any bumps if I failed, so I guess some tires are quiet - I know a lot louder rubber tires. Read more Collapse

This is my next (after winter) tire company Goodyear purchased Oponeo course and full service (assembly). Performance of the contract - all with flying colors. Fast delivery, directly to a workshop without interference. No need to expect in readiness for a courier and move these tires of the car in the car (which, especially for women, is very important and convenient). You buy, you choose the workshop, you set the date convenient for you, replacing donuts and enjoy a safe, comfortable and economical ride. The tires are of the highest quality; quiet, safe and economical. They do not require advertising, just check the rankings for the year 2014 (the first three). Price in Oponeo.co.uk always competitive. I have no comments or objections both the selected tire, and the performance of the contract by the shop Oponeo.co.uk. I highly recommend it.

The tire has excellent handling characteristics. As for the noise - the label may mislead the purchaser. Depending on the surface (I speak only of asphalt surfaces) my tires normally make noise like a typical winter tires or very strongly - in my case, the sound is similar to the sound of ending up in the wheel bearings. The noise is increasing at a fairly sharp corners as the tires are at the limit of grip. Normally, I would argue that the bearing is either ends, if not for the fact that the summer tires these symptoms they observed. I do not know why I make noise, it can tread the wine ... For the record - before the foundation of the tire rims were checked by oponiarzy wheels with tires were balanced by oponiarzy even fireplaces with valves mentioned. Read more Collapse

After reading the reviews on this tire gave up the purchase, despite the fact that many seasons przejeździłem its previous model and I was happy. After many hours of research I decided to take a chance and today I do not regret that decision. Immediately after assuming first impression was negative. Car terribly "float" on curves and corners. But when the temperature went zero problems in the area subsided. When starting and braking on wet and slush tires sensational. Much better than previous Goodyear-y and Nokia, ABS very rarely załączał. On the snow until the sharp clash spoke ASR and so when heavy braking worked ABS but it's probably normal. Overall, I rate them very positive and I would recommend all users Voyager. Read more Collapse

I have the opportunity to ride on these tires in two sizes. The official car I have 205/55/16 and 165/65/15 wife's car. The tire size 205 behaves correctly on dry and wet roads. In the snow too well the trick. Only reservation I have what appears to noise. At speeds above 140 tire likes to seem strange noises, depending on the surface even after the riding. Appearance did not knocks. As for the size of 165 is very similar, only that it is more robust noise better. The tire is narrower and does not appear with him those strange sounds at higher speeds.

Buying emergency in the middle of winter when irreversible damage to one of the already bald tires, which have to withstand the spring .Wybór some of the case but I'm not disappointed though never ridden on goodyearach. I recommend these tires do not admit, however, that prompted me to buy promotional price level of budget tires "no name no quality" rolling resistance can not properly assess but I think the car less fuel. Noise but not a parameter for me because I listen to loud HEAVY METAL :) Read more Collapse

Tires are great. So far I did not disappoint. With low snow do very well, has not yet been tested in high snow. As for black ice, I'm pleasantly surprised with their keeping. Earlier, another car drove on Barum Bravuris and say that I did not complain to them but they were nervous moments. Maybe I made a few more miles on these tires, but I feel it will be fine. We'll see how I go skiing in the mountains, there go all the weaknesses. Read more Collapse

Tires very welcome surprise when driving on dry pavement. You really are quiet 150 km / h on the highway, you can comfortably talk, no additional vibration transmitted to the car body and the wheel. A little less this year (briefly) was snow and I had the opportunity to test their extreme, but still I am able to trust them. The construction and tread design guarantees a good job for which they were created. Once again I recommend. Read more Collapse

Very quiet (noise level much lower than my tires Michelin - ki) and soft tires, while well stick to the road and not "float". Runner - Regular herringbone-great drains water and slush. The observed increased fuel consumption by about max 0.3 - 0.4 liter seems to be low at such good traction properties. Appearance tires very good - especially the sound of the tread. Rant security guard alloy wheels is also very useful. Read more Collapse

I ride usually fairly quiet, noting the combustion and adhering to the principles of eco drivingu parts. Tires give some conduct, both on wet and snow-covered roads, as well as on dry asphalt. Moving the snow is also not a problem. Some grip when cornering - of course within reason for a small passenger car. It is difficult to assess the strength - one season left on them, not even a trace of wear. Read more Collapse

Best of tires which I used, and I've used many manufacturers of tires in 15 years - UG7 - was the first of "the family" - and then I bought all subsequent generations - and never on them was not disappointed - I can identify a brand and tire manufacturers, which did not comply with the description or warranty - I (ii over 50 of my friends) have other winter tires do not buy!

Tires had founded the winter season 2013/2014. Were doing great. Moving in the wet or snow is not a problem. It was worse when braking during downhill gradients in the packed snow and the road of windblown snow. There were only 2 cases for the whole season. Moreover, in urban traffic and out of town, or the sun or the rain the car ran comfortably. Their volume is not bothered. Read more Collapse

I was a happy user of the Goodyear Ultragrip 7 + ... were perfect and give you advice where the other is slipping, their durability was also sensational ... Then something tempted me and I bought Barum Polaris 2 .. in comparison with Goodyear is a trauma I went back to Goodyear ... model 8 and again I am zdawolony ... no problems, in good conscience recommend to others ...

Yet it never occurred to me to be a problem during winter driving on these tires, no matter what happened was the pavement. Corsair sticks to the road like glued. 2 years ago I drove to the parking lot where I was on the threshold of snow and no problem went without a shovel. The only drawback is the price - in total, these tires are more expensive than the car itself;-) Read more Collapse

VERY RECOMMEND TIRES ULTRA GRIP 8! I bought them COUNCIL FOR OTHER USERS OF THESE TIRES AND TRULY TELL THAT WHAT IS THE BEST CHOICE able to make! I did not realize THAT TYPE OF WINTER TIRES CAN I IMPROVE YES while away COMFORT AND SAFETY DRIVING. VERY RECOMMEND THESE TIRES AS WELL AS THE SAME OPONEO SELLER! THIS WAS THE BEST PURCHASE LAST YEAR!! :) Read more Collapse

Tires well stick to the surface (I mean icy). A few days ago, another driver "left" on the cusp in the shoulder, I was at the same speed without any problem beat bend. To this are fairly quiet and basically do not have increased power consumption compared to the summer (another company). Summer tires also intend to buy Good Year. Regards Read more Collapse

The best winter tires I had any. The snow stick to the road like on dry asphalt. Even on the ice to listen to the car. Not scary it can rain in summer conditions. Just perfect tire. You forget what it oversteer and understeer. We strongly recommend to all those who intend to invest in safety and does not disappoint. Tires worth the money. Read more Collapse

Last year I bought a pair for the front axle, this year I bought another pair for the second axis. When it comes to snow conditions fulfill its role in 100%. Car drives through drifts without any problem. Light minus for durability. With a very quiet ride, between last year and this year's set, noticeable tread wear. Read more Collapse

Everyone discouraged me to buy these tires because they are expensive and do not meet certain advantages. Maybe this year the winter was not as harsh but from my point of view and from the drive tires are really recommendable. I drove in the winter and I did not have any problems with them. I heartily recommend ... Read more Collapse

I bought these tires because they had a good reputation among drivers and was not disappointed. The fact that I had in the past winter, little opportunity to test them strictly in terms of winter. Despite the conditions, for which I came across okonywałem no problem. When driving fast on a little make noise. Read more Collapse

Not ridden yet better overall-the winter tires. It is known that ankle snow treads better bite, but universally for the winter, these tires are the best. If you do not need snow tires only, but still wet, flowing or route, these are the most recommendable, especially since they are at competitive prices. Read more Collapse

Very well stick to the surface, even in very adverse conditions. Practically the peaceful style of driving is not met with the wheels turned to when starting or any slippage while driving. This winter was very mild, but I had the chance to ride in the mountains on the icy surface. Tires fared very well. Read more Collapse

As I wrote above. On the other hand I know that the car with a mass of 1.5 tonnes and weighs as much my samachód no longer buy tires 195 mm. The behavior of the car in the corners is on average satisfactory. I think lacie 205 mm would have given him greater stability at higher speeds in sharper curves. Read more Collapse

Very good handling performance on snow and slush. Keeping the car stable at higher speeds. A very short braking distance in emergency on / under. Rolling resistance does not result in an increase in fuel consumption. Attractive appearance and profile of the tread. Very handy protecting the rim edge. Read more Collapse

Tyres of the highest quality, proven in all conditions. On an icy road in a quiet driving do not lose their grip. The snow and slush is a pleasure to ride them. Throughout the season, maybe 10 times the ABS and ESP went off did not have a lot of work. Next winter tyres will also be Goodyeary. Read more Collapse

In winter, the snow is very good, on a wet mush also did not disappoint me when it comes to the wet asphalt was ok and on a dry are miękie, just because when dry it's tempting to ride faster. I highly recommend for those who want to feel safe. Leading your car ... best regards Read more Collapse

Tires flawlessly suited for snow and slush, slightly worse deal on heavily icy sections. They were this year in January tested during the holidays in Gorce on slippery, zalodzonych and steep roads and passed the exam - do not have to wear chains, probably stick to the track. Read more Collapse

After about 1500 km over 50/50 city / on the town with a clear conscience I can write that these are good tires for the conditions prevailing in Poland. I made the purchase based on user feedback. For the moment, I have no reason to conclude that it was a horrible purchase. Read more Collapse

Unfortunately, my opinion is not very objective. That's what bothered me much noise is generated (like every winter tire). Why? Indeed - well "holds" the surface. He rides on it safely, and perhaps the only time when the wet asphalt fell into a skid. Recommend Read more Collapse

The tire really recommendable. I drove it this winter for about 5 thousand. miles, and I'm very pleased. Is it dry or wet surface retains a super car, the tire is glued to the road surface. Big snow or slush is no longer a problem. Toy eager to ride. I would recommend. Read more Collapse

Previously, I bought a low-end tyres and after the change to the new Goodyear-y, I think that it is worthwhile to pay extra for higher-end tyres. Better in every way, at least according to me (the same car). If someone puts on safety, as I - I would definitely recommend. Read more Collapse

I use the Opel Combo UG 8 - Tires are quiet, very well stick to the road, driving normally hard to "break" grip. In the winter I tried faster cornering and was really pleasantly surprised at how adhere to the surface. I highly recommend these tires to anyone. Read more Collapse
