When I ordered my winter kit from the dealer I wanted the N-spec PA5 due to all the excellent reviews it gathered, but sadly they were out of stock everywhere at the time, so I had to settle for the N-spec Goodyear Ultra Performance Gen 1. I am now starting my third winter with them and I honestly have nothing to complain about. I cannot do a direct comparison with the PA5, but I can say the Ultra grip are very good winter tires for my use case, which goes from cold dry roads, sleet and slush to ample snow.
Following. Would like to see some more feedback on the ultragrips.
I have about 300 miles on the GY's and overall, pretty happy with dry performance for a winter tire although it's been unseasonably warm in Chicagoland the past couple of weeks.
Will know more next week on performance with colder temps.
It's a winter tire so there is some "mushiness" to the feel, but nothing any worse than I have experienced with Conti Wintercontact 810S or the Michelin Alpins I have had in the past.
Well...winter definitely hit Chicagoland this weekend. -9 this am for a drive in the 911! The GY Ultragrip winters performed well on a combination of well salted roads, poorly salted ice/snowy side roads for about 70 miles over this past weekend. Even in -9 degree weather the tires gripped well and no squishy feeling while turning and overall comfortable ride. I didn't do any aggressive driving as the conditions are ridiculous, but overall very happy with the GY winters.
