Winning the latest comprehensive ADAC winter tyre test recognises the top balanced performance of the Goodyear winter tyre, a state-of-the-art product for the latest vehicle park.
Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 has been crowned the winner of ADAC’s latest winter tyre test, earning the highest “good” rating among 16 competing winter tyres tested in the compact SUV segment.
Conducted by ADAC, Europe’s largest automobile association, in collaboration with its Austrian and Swiss counterparts ÖAMTC and TCS, the evaluation assessed the tyres’ safety and performance in snow, wet, and dry conditions, as well as their environmental impact. The test was carried out with a Volkswagen T-Roc equipped with the popular 215/55R17 UltraGrip Performance 3.
In the test report, Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 stood out for its “safe and precise driving characteristics” on dry, wet, and winter roads, delivering “very high predicted mileage, low abrasion, and excellent efficiency, with no notable weaknesses.” Its exceptional performance across all testing criteria earned it the highest overall score.
Designed for optimal winter driving, Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 benefits from class-leading technologies and innovations, such as Snow Protect Technology and Wet Grip+ Technology, which optimise grip and control during the winter driving season.
Strong performance across multiple sizes
Goodyear’s success extended towards the compact car category, with UltraGrip Performance 3 also being awarded second place in the 205/55R16 size tested on a Volkswagen Golf, once again earning a “good” rating.
Testers praised the tyre’s performance, noting its “balanced” design, which offers “good precision on dry roads” while ensuring “safe and precise handling on wet and winter surfaces.” The tyre also demonstrated “high predicted mileage, low abrasion, low fuel consumption, and lightweight characteristics.”
Ben Glesener, Senior Director Technology Consumer, Goodyear EMEA, commented on the test success: “We are incredibly proud that Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 has won this test and been rated as ‘good’ by ADAC. This recognition from Europe’s largest automobile association highlights the tyre’s winter performance, safety, and durability, and is a testament to the hard work and expertise of our entire team in developing a class-leading product.”
