Which winter tyres with rim protection should I consider for a CUPRA Leon using 225/40 R18 92V tyres?

Automatically reviewed answer

Hello, I would shortlist the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 in 225/40 R18 92V XL FP, provided this specification is approved for your CUPRA Leon. Goodyear’s Netherlands catalogue lists this exact variant, and FP is its rim-protection designation. In ADAC’s 2025 winter test, the 225/40 R18 92V version scored 2.0 overall, rated “good”. It achieved the best wet-road rating, although ADAC noted slight dry-handling weaknesses at the limit. Rim protection can help reduce kerb damage; I would treat it as an extra precaution and still avoid kerb contact. Before ordering, ask the supplier to confirm the exact XL FP variant and check the size and required ratings against your vehicle documentation or with CUPRA. The catalogue listing and tyre test do not establish approval for your particular car.
