Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
82/100From 15 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 is widely praised by users for its exceptional winter capabilities, impressive ride comfort, and low noise levels. It delivers reliable traction across snowy, wet, and dry conditions, striking a strong balance between performance and daily refinement compared to competitors.
Pros
- Exceptional grip and predictable handling in snow and slush
- High level of ride comfort with a quiet, smooth rolling experience
- Strong wet and dry braking performance with good aquaplaning resistance
- Progressive and sporty composure at the limit
Cons
- Higher price point compared to some budget or mid-range alternatives
- Softer sidewalls can result in reduced steering feedback and minor twist during aggressive cornering
- Lateral grip may feel less suited for extremely fast driving in milder temperatures
Worth knowing
- Users driving high-horsepower front-wheel-drive vehicles noted good launch traction from a stopped start.
- Rear-wheel-drive vehicle owners navigating hilly, uncleaned snowy roads reported confidence and strong traction.
- Performance tested successfully on staggered 19-inch setups (255/40R19 front and 285/40R19 rear) with strong aquaplaning resistance.
