very good
Ranked #2 of 7

The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 secured an impressive second place among seven competitors, earning a final rating of "Very Good." This tire stood out for its short braking distances and very secure driving behavior on snow. It also exhibited good cornering grip with ample reserves and was found to be very reliable and stable on wet surfaces. The tire provided high levels of lateral support, particularly on dry roads. Despite these strengths, it showed slight deficits in corner aquaplaning and steering precision, displaying some sensitivity to load changes in fast-driven, dry corners. Additionally, a faint tire noise was noted during cornering. This tire was lauded for its broad performance spectrum, performing well across all weather conditions. It demonstrated exceptional performance in disciplines such as dry lane changing, dry steering response, snow cornering, and wet handling, marking it as a versatile choice for diverse winter driving conditions.
