The tire quite good for our Polish roads. The snow this year was not too much, so little can be said. Unfortunately, a little loud, I expected it to be much quieter. I would recommend it, however.

I was to buy Dunlop Winter Response - I have summer season Dunlops and they are unbeatable. And as for Goodyear... in temperatures around 2 degrees C and in wet the ABS goes crazy and I can't pull away without skidding, which wouldn't happen even with summer tyres! In 2 degrees the summer tyre should be visibly worse than a winter one! I totally regret buying the Ultra Grip 8, especially when I could have bought Dunlops. Sometimes I feel that it behaves as Debica Navigator 2, which is total ***.

My previous tyre - the Ultra Grip 7 - brilliant! When it comes to Ultra Grip 8 - for now - great disappointment! It is mainly due to constant loss of grip when trying to set off in snow or on ice and, what is really outrageous, in the wet (even after a drizzle). Another issue is braking in the snow. ABS kicks in with the slightlest touch of the brake pedal. I really don't trust them any more. Once more, the goodyear Ultra Grip 8 is a big, big disappointment and I honestly wouldn't recommed it to anyone. In this price range I think I would go for Continentals.

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.

On wet asphalt tends to fall into a skid. What a moment squeaks traction control. Although I did not believe it actually burns more fuel on the reviews. In my car is about 0.5 -0.8 Litre.

On the ice goes like any known as skate, no braking, no abs no chance of stopping on the water catastrophe is moving to "piskaczach" only good for snow (really checked) and dry surface, but without the sand or mud otherwise the spins in place.

Poor driving performance on ice and packed snow. It can be very deceived and disappointed.
