Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 - User reviews

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.

Tires bought a brand new high evaluations after they have obtained in the tests ADAC and I feel disappointed by their behavior especially in the snow. The car can not cope with the snow-covered driveway of the hill, which is in Bielsko little. In addition, cornering complains back. On tires Fulda and Debica was definitely better. After consultation with the vulcanizer received opinions confirming my observations, that these tires are not suitable for winter Polish conditions so I have to agree. The next time a pile of tires in accordance with the recommendation of the vulcanizer, not the opinions of ADAC, because apparently they do not reflect the reality of our road conditions.

The Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 is a hopeless tyre. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, really! I bet they were made somewhere where they don't even have electiricity! And it's loud! I would recommend Dunlops, which i had before. They are much better and Goodyear is just good advertising and nothing more. The ADAC reviews are absolutely inacurate!

I have just fitted the Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 and it'a a total nightmare! The car pulls to the sides when above 50mph and up to 25 you can easily hear stange knocking sounds. I had them inspected at a local garage and they say it's definitely the tyre at fault. The car and rims are fine. I will file a complaint. Avoid this model if you can. I will never buy tyres from Goodyear again!
