The Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2 SUV is a studded winter tyre engineered specifically for sport utility vehicles and light trucks in severe winter conditions. This premium winter tyre features advanced technologies including Arctic Eagle Claw Stud technology with up to 220 studs per tyre, enhanced Snow Grip Technology with wider grooves and increased edge density, and a new noise control system with stud cushioning that reduces interior noise compared to the previous generation. The tyre delivers excellent ice braking and snow traction, strong wet handling with effective aquaplaning resistance, and balanced dry performance. Noise levels are notably reduced through optimized stud distribution and cushioning systems. However, fuel efficiency is moderately affected by higher rolling resistance, which is typical for studded winter tyres. The UltraGrip Arctic 2 SUV is recommended for SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks requiring maximum traction in harsh winter climates, with specific load and speed ratings available across various sizes from 17 to 21-inch wheels.
