Goodyear 781016579 WinterCommand Ultra 215/50R17 95H XL Studless Winter Tire

The Goodyear WinterCommand Ultra 215/50R17 95H is a studless winter tire engineered for passenger cars, SUVs, and CUVs that demand serious cold-weather capability. Built around a suite of Goodyear-exclusive technologies, this tire delivers confident traction on snow, ice, and wet winter roads while maintaining a comfortable, controlled ride.

Proprietary Winter Technologies:

• Cryo-Adaptive Compound – Specially formulated tread compound engineered to remain pliable in extreme cold temperatures, maintaining grip where conventional compounds stiffen and lose traction.
• V-Tred Technology with Hydrodynamic Grooves – Directional tread pattern channels water, slush, and snow away from the contact patch to maximize evacuation and minimize hydroplaning risk, while also reducing road noise.
• ActiveGrip Technology – Optimizes the tire's footprint to maintain consistent surface contact for improved steering responsiveness and driving stability throughout winter conditions.
• Active Block Cuts & Adaptive SipeGrip Technology – Multidimensional sipes and precision block cuts bite into snow and ice, adding critical braking edges that help shorten stopping distances on slippery surfaces.
