About the Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus

Luxury Winter Control, Mile After Cold Mile.

Best forLuxury passenger car and crossover owners who need certified severe-snow capability paired with a refined, low-noise winter driving experience.

The Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus is a dedicated winter tire built for luxury passenger vehicles that demand confident control when temperatures drop. Carrying the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, it delivers dependable grip on ice, packed snow, and wet winter roads. It pairs serious cold-weather capability with a quieter, more comfortable ride than typical winter tires.

A directional tread pattern channels water, slush, and snowmelt away from the contact patch, lowering hydroplaning risk and maintaining consistent wet traction. Dense sipes and angled tread blocks grip icy and snowy surfaces effectively. The low rolling resistance construction helps curb fuel consumption while dampening road noise and vibration. This tire is intended for use when temperatures stay consistently below 45°F.

Questions about this tire

What does 235/55R17 103V mean?

235 is the tread width in millimeters, 55 means the sidewall is 55% of that width, and R17 is the 17-inch rim it mounts on. 103 is the load index (1,929 lbs per tire), and V is the speed rating (up to 149 mph).

Is the Ultra Grip Performance Plus truly rated for severe snow, or just light winter use?

Yes — it carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification, which means it has passed standardized testing for moderate-to-severe snow traction. That said, in extreme ice or deep-snow conditions, a dedicated studded winter tire may provide an additional margin of grip.

Can I leave these tires on my car year-round?

No. The Ultra Grip Performance Plus is formulated for cold weather and should only be used when temperatures are consistently below 45°F. Running winter tires in warmer conditions accelerates tread wear and reduces handling performance compared to an all-season or summer tire.

Does this tire work well on luxury sedans and SUVs that prioritize a quiet ride?

Yes — Goodyear designed this tire with luxury vehicles in mind. The low rolling resistance construction actively works to minimize road noise and vibration, so you get winter capability without the harsh, loud character common to many winter tires.

What is the mileage warranty on the Ultra Grip Performance Plus?

Goodyear covers this tire under their standard manufacturer's warranty rather than offering a separate treadwear mileage guarantee. We recommend contacting Goodyear directly or reviewing the warranty documentation included with your purchase for full coverage details.

How does the directional tread pattern help in wet and slushy conditions?

The directional design routes water and slush through wide grooves and out from under the tire in a single, efficient path. This consistent evacuation keeps the tread in better contact with the road surface, reducing the risk of hydroplaning on wet or slushy winter roads.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
