Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip Gw3

The Bottom Line

The Eagle Ultra Grip Gw3 is best for drivers who need a winter tire with exceptional treadlife, making it cost-effective over time. However, its lack of 3PMSF certification and lower wet grip score may not suffice for severe winter conditions.

Important Note

Its lack of 3PMSF certification and lower wet grip score make it less suitable for areas with heavy snowfall and frequent slush.

Pros

  • With a treadwear warranty of 65,000 miles, it offers significantly longer treadlife than typical winter tires.
