Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+ Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 13 reviews

Drivers rate the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus very highly for snow traction (especially lateral grip), strong wet performance, solid dry grip for a winter tire, and good comfort with some noting low noise. A minority mention higher noise and average dry braking/ice performance, but overall sentiment is strongly positive with excellent winter confidence and wear durability.

The tires perform well at the first sight. I just drove 2.000 miles on them. The overall handling performance is great, on both dry and wet conditions. I was surprised about the cornering speed in the wet which is really good (of course, you have to increase the pressures depending on the air temerature to get the most out of it). I have a lot of rain in my country, with standing water on my regular roads, and I can say that the risk of aquaplaning is very low with these tires. Also, they are very comfortables with soft sidewalls.
On the other hand, they are quite noisy compared to my summer tires (Dunlop Sportmaxx RT2) at 70-80 km/h. I thought I had a failed bearing. And the dry braking is not so good, but it is common on winter tires, as well as the road feedback which is average.
I am looking forward to test them on snow and update my review.
