Goodyear dominates wet and overall rankings; Dunlop fights back with efficiency and mileage.
Both the Dunlop Winter Sport 5 and the GoodYear UltraGrip Performance+ come from the same corporate stable — Goodyear owns Dunlop — yet these two premium winter tyres have developed notably distinct personalities over time. The Winter Sport 5 is a long-serving, efficiency-minded tyre that rewards patient drivers with exceptional mileage and strong snow grip, while the UltraGrip Performance+ is a more dynamically rounded proposition that consistently outperforms across mixed winter surfaces. Across 14 shared test appearances, the Goodyear came out ahead in 10, giving a clear overall edge — but the Dunlop still has genuine strengths that make it worth serious consideration.
Winter Sport 5
UltraGrip Performance+
The GoodYear UltraGrip Performance+ is the more accomplished all-round winter tyre: better wet braking, stronger aquaplaning resistance, superior dry dynamics, and an overall test record that places it ahead in 10 of 14 shared appearances. It has since been succeeded by the UltraGrip Performance 3, so if availability in your size is limited, check that first — but where it fits, it remains an excellent choice for drivers who want confident, balanced winter performance. The Dunlop Winter Sport 5 is the value-conscious alternative: introduced in 2015 with updates along the way, it delivers impressive snow grip, strong fuel efficiency, and outstanding mileage at a price that often undercuts newer rivals. It finished first overall against the Goodyear in both the 2023 ADAC SUV test and the 2021 ADAC test. If your priorities lean toward economy, longevity, and solid snow capability — and you're not pushing the limits of wet-weather performance — the Dunlop still earns its place.
