Goodyear UltraGrip 7 Plus

I fitted 4 of these tyres to my Audi A4 Avant last winter and will be fitting them again in late October this year(They are on a spare set of wheels). They are full winter tyres. I have never had a set of winter tyres on any car before and wasn't sure what to expect. They are quite simply phenominal. I drove the car on compacted snow and ice and it was difficult to get the car to lose control. By standing on the brakes it was possible to get the car to skid, but not for long or very far. Cornering and braking were excellent. You cannot compare these tyres with any summer tyres because summer tyres whatever the make are useless in the snow and ice in comparrison with these tyres. Don't forget that once the ambient temp drops below +7 degs C these tyres come into their own, it doesn't have to be snowing, frosty mornings and black ice can be equaly dangerous. Again, I did my research on this web site before buying these tyres. Read what the German Motoring Organisations say about them, they get a lot more snow than we do and they know what they are talking about. Finally, we have had three winters with snow now in UK in succession, who knows how long this will go on for. My advice is get a spare set of wheels and fit 4 of these winter tyres and swap them for your summer rubber about the end of October to March. You won't regret it and you won't believe the difference it makes to your grip levels in the winter. Very satisfied, in fact more than satisfied with these tyres, I wonder why it took me so long to fit winter tyres for the first time and yes I will buy these tyres again when I need replacement winter tyres.

Driving a BMW 320d with rear wheel drive i would have expected the tyres to loose grip in snow and slush but bthey were really ok. Considering that the price/value is great i would consider buying them again.

Veoma dobra zimska guma. Imam ih na Citroen Pikassu i na Fiat Puntu . Odlicna guma za sneg. Gde sam ja prosao sa njima na pogonskim tockovima, Lada Niva nije mogla-verovali ili ne !
Za sada nisam imao bolju gumu na tockovima - kazem samo za zimu !

As a first-time BMW owner in 2009, come January 2010 I discovered a major problem. The inclement snowy weather transformed my fun evoking rear wheel drive 1 Series into a insurance liability. In-fact, potentially worse, a total death trap.

Something had to be done. I first heard of winter tyres in Canada whilst on a skiing hioliday. I was much intrigued watching apparently maniacal Canadian drivers navigating 90 degree corners on snow packed roads at 30+ MPH.

So, out of sheer fear, over the summer, I researched winter tyres as a UK option (whilst also seriously considering flogging the BMW for an Audi A4 Quattro instead).

To test the waters, I purchased 4 part worn German Goodyear Ultra Grip 7's on EBAY, which received good reviews on this website. What a revelation! My 120d SE had been transformed from un-drivable death trap into a vehicle that feels as safe on snow and Ice as a Landrover Discovery.

Even better, with perhaps frankly outstanding road performance, comfort and thrill navigating Britian's potholed roads at speed (than my relegated hard, noisy, RFT Bridgestone potenzas, which are now in the shed) I'm frankly tempted to leave them on all summer.

The UltraGrip 7's are reassuring, responsive, phenomenally safe and quiet and in my view totally essential equipment for a rear wheel drive car,

BTW they also work in harmony with the BMW's previously useless DTC snow setting.

Outstanding grip in slush and snow, much more feeling on ice too. I've driven on these tyres through the recent snowy conditions in Central Scotland for the past few weeks and they have behaved remarkably. Good traction from a standing start and much improved braking performance means I'm a Winter Tyre convert. Even my wife was happy about driving in the snow after getting these installed, what more of an endorsement do you need...?

I've never used winter tyres before and thought they were just 4 snow but this is amazing dry wet and physics defying in snow!!!!!

A little bit noisy tyre in my opinion..Bud very good in winter conditions (snow and heavy rain). Good wet and dry grip (traction)

my 3rd set of GY UGs/6, 7, and now 7+).
Satisfied winter ater winter.

Came as standard on a brand new 2008 Fiorino van - didn't specify winter tyres, just the bigger 15" wheels. Glad though - Feb 2009 & Dec 2009/Jan 2009 driving in snow on my commute proved the benefit of these tyres, loads of grip! Back tyres barely worn & fronts coming up for replacement shortly: 21,000 miles, not bad eh?
