FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Winter weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Increased ice grip
- Winter wear indicators
OVERVIEW
The Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 is a performance, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire promotes first-rate winter weather traction. The directional tread design and the detailed directional tread pattern work together to increase the tire’s winter weather road gripping ability. Even when driving on ice and snow-covered road surfaces, the high-density siping detail’s additional biting edges maintain a firm grip throughout the tire’s performance, without the use of metal studs. The tread design features two circumferential and numerous angled lateral grooves that work together to increase the hydroplaning prevention. These enhancements work together to upgrade the cold temperature winter weather performance. As a result, the tire received the three mountain peak and snow flake symbol for its excellent grip in winter weather.
The tire is easily controlled even when driving on ice and snow. The model’s rounded shoulder design and the directional pattern’s center interconnecting blocks improve the overall road surface contact. In this manner, the tire upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering responsiveness becomes faster and more precise, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model while the tires are in motion. The high-density siping detail also manages to shorten the braking distance. It creates friction at the moment of braking, significantly boosting the tire’s braking capability and offering a safer performance.
The tread design features special winter wear indicators. These indicators visually portray when the tire is close to losing its excellent winter traction, when the winter weather compound is about to wear out. In this manner, the tire guarantees a safer performance, as the driver knows when the tire will no longer perform in the desired manner.
The Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 was manufactured with a special sidewall that protects the rims from accidental curb and other kinds of damage.
