4th out of 11 competitors, final rating 'Good', the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 proved a snow specialist—topping the field for snow traction and snow handling and also scoring best for wet circle cornering and low exterior noise. Testers praised its particularly strong winter characteristics but pointed out comparatively weaker aquaplaning resistance and wet braking, which kept it from a higher finish.
