14 out of 20 competitors, final rating "Satisfactory". The tyre proved a true snow specialist, delivering the shortest braking distances and highest traction on that surface and ranking best in longitudinal aquaplaning, snow traction, snow braking and snow cornering; however, testers downgraded it for wet and dry performance, and it did not place last in any measured discipline.

Finishing 11th out of 20 competitors, the Kleber KRISALP HP3 achieved a final rating of 'Satisfactory'. Testers highlighted its exceptional performance on snow and ice, as well as its good aquaplaning safety margins and quiet rolling noise, which marked its strengths. It was notably best in disciplines including aquaplaning in a longitudinal direction, exterior noise, snow braking, and snow cornering. However, the tire displayed a tendency to understeer on wet and dry surfaces, which was noted as a drawback.
