Ranked #2 of 8
2 out of 8 — final rating: -. The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 delivered an excellent overall performance, claiming five outright wins and standing out especially in snow braking and traction, wet braking and both longitudinal and cross aquaplaning; it set the benchmark for snow traction/braking and was third-fastest on the snow lap, while in wet braking it stopped nearly 0.5 m sooner than the next tyre. Testers highlighted its progressive, confidence-inspiring handling, precise turn-in and quick recovery from slides, with composed, biddable dry behaviour and reasonable economy and refinement. It didn’t finish last in any measured property.

recommended
Ranked #3 of 7
In its evaluation among seven competitors, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 impressively secured the third position, earning a rating of "Recommended." Making a noteworthy debut after its launch, this tire excelled particularly in wet conditions - a domain where Goodyear tires traditionally shine. It outperformed all others in tests for deep-water aquaplaning, holding the top spot firmly. Even in scenarios involving shallower water, its performance was commendable, ranking joint fourth in braking tests. On the handling circuit, it fostered confidence, allowing for easy control up to its limit without the risk of abrupt rear slides. Despite requiring slightly more steering effort compared to some competitors, it stood out for its responsiveness and efficacy in wet conditions, following closely behind the Hankook in performance. In dry conditions, the Goodyear also showcased strong capabilities, achieving second place, trailing only behind the WinterContact. Although it slipped to the fourth position in snow performance tests, it remained competitively close to the frontrunners. Additionally, this tire was unmatched in several key areas, leading the pack in aquaplaning performance both in cross and longitudinal tests, and also excelled by registering the lowest interior noise, rounding off its superior features and confirming its versatility across a range of demanding winter driving conditions.
