The Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2 is a studded winter tyre designed for passenger cars and SUVs, suitable for severe winter conditions with ice and snow. The tyre features the Arctic Eagle Claw Stud technology with up to 220 studs per tyre that are 10 percent smaller and 21 percent lighter than the previous generation, alongside Snow Grip Technology with wider grooves and higher edge density for optimal performance. Key characteristics include strong braking performance on snow and asphalt, excellent ice traction, and moderate noise levels thanks to integrated noise cushion systems. Wet and dry performance are balanced and competent, with good grip in both wet and dry conditions. The tyre exhibits moderate fuel efficiency with higher rolling resistance typical of studded winter tyres. The UltraGrip Arctic 2 is recommended for drivers requiring top-notch snow performance and reliable handling in winter conditions, particularly in Nordic and Eastern European markets.
