Technical specifications
Description
UltraGrip 8 Performance – the high performance tyre for tough snow conditions.
Confident handling on snow
Excellent performance on ice
High aquaplaning resistance
Fuel-efficient design
Handling
The UltraGrip 8 Performance provides superior grip and braking on hard-packed snow, thanks to the integration of three different types of sipes. The saw-shaped central rib works like a snowplow, grabbing onto surface snow for extra traction.
Performance on ice
The tyre features a large contact patch that improves handling on ice. The silica tread compound maintains good grip at low temperatures.
Aquaplaning resistance
Special hydrodynamic tread grooves quickly channel water away from the tire surface, helping you keep control on wet or slushy roads.
Fuel efficiency
UltraGrip 8 Performance’s low-weight construction reduces rolling resistance, lowering your vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more
