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.
- Dry grip score of 7.5 indicates reliable performance on clear, cold roads.
- Handling score of 7.5 suggests good responsiveness for a winter tire, useful for navigating snowy conditions.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is below what you'd want for rainy winter days, potentially leading to less confidence in slushy conditions.
- Lacks the 3PMSF certification, which may be a concern for those needing verified severe snow performance.
- The Continental VikingContact 7 offers better wet performance, which could be crucial for mixed winter conditions.
