Goodyear UltraGrip SUV review

The Goodyear UltraGrip SUV is regarded as a capable winter tire that offers dynamic handling characteristics similar to summer tires on dry and wet pavement. While it provides reliable traction in snow, users should anticipate a service life of approximately 15,000 miles before performance begins to degrade significantly.
