Experience exceptional control with the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance GEN-1, designed for passenger cars navigating winter's toughest conditions. This tire features the innovative SnowProtect Technology, which includes lamellae with a locking bridge in the upper area, high lamella density, and flexible tread blocks. This combination ensures outstanding braking performance on snow-covered roads, making it an ideal choice for winter driving.
Enhanced Grip and Longevity
The tire's large, square contact patch ensures reduced specific ground pressure and maximizes rubber contact with the road surface. This design provides excellent dry grip and extends the tire's lifespan, making it a reliable companion for long journeys.
Superior Water Evacuation
Thanks to its directional tread pattern, the UltraGrip Performance GEN-1 efficiently channels water away, offering high protection against aquaplaning, especially at higher speeds. This feature ensures a safer drive in wet conditions, giving you confidence on the road.
Winter Wear Indicator
Stay informed about your tire's winter capabilities with the top winter wear indicator—a stylized snowflake that gradually diminishes as the tire wears down. This visual cue allows for easy monitoring of the tire's performance in snowy conditions.
Quiet and Comfortable Ride
The tire's variable pitch technology, featuring shoulder blocks of varying lengths in the circumferential direction, evenly distributes block impact noise over a broader frequency spectrum. This results in lower peak frequencies and a quieter ride, enhancing overall driving comfort.
Advanced Silica Tread Compound
The UltraGrip Performance GEN-1 is crafted with a silica tread compound that improves filler adhesion to the rubber polymer. This results in excellent wet traction while maintaining high mileage and low rolling resistance, ensuring a balanced performance across various winter conditions.
Certified Snow Performance
The presence of the snowflake symbol certifies that this tire has passed standardized snow performance tests, guaranteeing particularly safe driving behavior on snow and ice. Choose the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance GEN-1 for a secure and comfortable winter driving experience.
Goodyear UltraGrip Performance GEN-1
Excellent grip and high handling performance in all winter conditions
Reduced risk of aquaplaning Hydrodynamic grooves help to channel the water away from the tire surface - to reduce the risk of aquaplanning and improve traction on melting snow.
Excellent braking distance on snow Benefit from shorter braking distance when it matters most - thanks to Goodyear's SnowProtect Technology for superior winter performance.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
