not recommended
Ranked #10 of 10
The Star Performer UHP-3 finished at the bottom, ranking 10th out of 10 competitors in its evaluation. Despite its advantages such as respectable aquaplaning resistance, low cost, and reduced rolling resistance, the tyre was ultimately given a final rating of 'Not recommended'. Critical feedback noted the tyre's dangerously long braking distances and inadequate grip on wet surfaces, delayed steering response, and vague handling characteristics. These significant drawbacks overshadowed its positive aspects, casting doubts on its overall performance and safety capabilities.
