Compared to the previous generation, the studs of the Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2 tire are 10% smaller and 21% lighter to provide excellent grip on ice without further damaging the road surface.
Specially designed anchoring bases securely hold the studs in the tread and extend the tire's lifespan.
Noise reduction is achieved through optimized distribution of the tread studs and special sound-absorbing pads.
Improved snow grip thanks to wide grooves in the center and shoulders and a high density of serrated sipes.
Interior noise level and rolling noise reduced by around 9%. Optimal tread block distribution and integrated pad effectively absorbing noise when the tread block comes into contact with the road.
Wider grooves and a higher sipe density to capture more snow and provide better grip in all snow conditions, as well as deep grooves on the shoulder blocks.
The studs, thinner and more pointed, penetrate the ice more easily, which improves grip on ice and reduces road surface wear.
