1st

Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3

+The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 is the best tyre in the wet: the shortest stop on wet asphalt, joint second on wet concrete, second for straight-line aquaplaning and joint second in bends. It is also fourth for dry braking and one of the quietest tyres, with the second-highest predicted mileage and the joint-lowest abrasion.

−On snow and ice it is solid but not among the leaders, and in dry evasive manoeuvres the car could be a little less prone to oversteer.

The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

ADAC are one of the most respected sources of tyres tests for a good reason, they are fully independent, and do things most others cannot do such as wear tests, real world fuel usage tests instead of a machine measurement of rolling resistance, and even ice testing for their all season and winter tests.

For their 2025 winter tyre test, ADAC have tested a huge 32 patterns in 225/40 R18. Below is the summary data, be sure to check out the full details on their site.

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

The stand out results include

  • The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 winning the test overall, beating the excellent Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 and Bridgestone Blizzak 6
  • The Hankook Winter I*Cept Evo3 once again performing well
  • The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 having a predicted treadlife of over 75,000km, but still having grip!
  • Real world fuel consumption being relatively close between all the tyres
  • Snow braking not really lining up with ice braking

ADAC are also known for being brutally honest with their tyre notes, keep that in mind when reading the summary of their assessment for each tyre.

We respect it.

Michelin Pilot Alpin 5

225/40 R18
Michelin Pilot Alpin 5
The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 achieves good ratings in both driving safety and environmental impact, securing a good overall test score. For driving safety, the tyre provides excellent dry road performance with good steering feel, precise response to commands, and outstanding braking distances from 100 km/h that earned it the best score in testing. On wet roads, it excels in braking performance and delivers good handling with adequate safety reserves, though it only receives a satisfactory rating for lateral aquaplaning resistance. In winter conditions, the Michelin performs well across all criteria, offering good traction and braking on snow, effective handling that combines both elements with lateral forces, and good braking distances on ice with precise steering control throughout. Regarding environmental performance, this Spanish-manufactured tyre scores well with very high predicted mileage, very low tyre wear, and good fuel efficiency due to low consumption. However, a negative point is noted regarding production residues on new tyres that unnecessarily end up in the environment during the first kilometers of driving.

Bridgestone Blizzak 6

225/40 R18
Bridgestone Blizzak 6
The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 delivers good performance in both driving safety and environmental impact, earning a good overall rating. For driving safety, the tyre provides good steering feel and feedback on dry roads with spontaneous and precise response to steering commands, allowing for accurate vehicle control and achieving good braking distances from 100 km/h. On wet surfaces, it also receives good ratings, particularly for braking performance, and scores well in longitudinal aquaplaning resistance and handling with good safety reserves and precise control, though it only achieves a satisfactory rating for lateral aquaplaning resistance. In winter conditions, the Blizzak 6 earns good ratings with effective braking distances on both snow and ice and good traction performance, but narrowly misses a good rating for snow handling as it could better combine longitudinal and lateral forces, offering satisfactory reserves and adequate precision on the handling course. Regarding environmental performance, this Polish-manufactured tyre scores well with good predicted mileage, low tyre wear, and good efficiency thanks to its low weight and fuel consumption.

Hankook Winter i cept evo3

225/40 R18
Hankook Winter i cept evo3
The Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 W330 narrowly misses a good rating for driving safety but achieves a good overall score thanks to its strong environmental performance. For driving safety, the tyre demonstrates good precision and responsiveness to steering commands on dry roads, with safe and controllable behavior during sudden evasive maneuvers and good braking distances from 100 km/h. On wet surfaces, it earns good ratings overall, achieving good scores for longitudinal aquaplaning resistance, braking distances, and handling with good grip levels and reserves that allow largely precise control, though it only receives a satisfactory rating for lateral aquaplaning resistance. In winter conditions, the Hankook narrowly misses good results, showing slightly above-average performance for braking and acceleration on snow, but falls short in snow handling where it would need to better combine longitudinal and lateral forces and provide improved lateral guidance, and also narrowly misses a good rating for ice braking distances, resulting in an overall satisfactory rating that impacts the driving safety score. Regarding environmental performance, this Hungarian-manufactured tyre achieves good results with very high predicted mileage, low tyre wear, and good efficiency due to low weight and fuel consumption.

For driving safety, while the tyre could provide slightly better steering feel, responsiveness, and precision on dry roads, it maintains good performance limits allowing stable and safe obstacle avoidance with good braking distances from 100 km/h. On wet surfaces, it earns good ratings for braking performance and handling with good safety reserves and precise control over test courses, though it only achieves satisfactory results in both longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance, albeit narrowly missing better scores. In winter conditions, the Winter Sport 5 receives good ratings with effective braking distances on snow and ice, good traction performance, and just barely achieves a good rating for snow handling by adequately combining longitudinal and lateral forces while providing sufficient reserves for largely precise handling course navigation. Regarding environmental impact, this German-manufactured tyre earns good ratings due to its high predicted mileage and low tyre wear, while also scoring well for efficiency thanks to its low weight and fuel consumption.

Continental WinterContact TS 870 P

225/40 R18
Continental WinterContact TS 870 P
The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P narrowly misses a good driving safety rating due to its winter road performance but still achieves a good overall score thanks to its strong environmental performance. For driving safety, the tyre provides good steering feel on dry roads with largely spontaneous response and good precision, maintaining good performance limits that allow stable and safe obstacle avoidance with clearly good braking performance from 100 km/h. On wet surfaces, it earns good ratings with strong braking distances and longitudinal aquaplaning resistance, plus good handling with effective grip, precision, and adequate reserves in limit situations, though it only achieves satisfactory results for lateral aquaplaning resistance. In winter conditions, the WinterContact TS 870 P fails to achieve good ratings overall, though it just barely manages good scores for braking and traction tests on snow as well as handling, allowing safe and largely precise control over test courses, but its satisfactory performance in ice braking tests ultimately prevents it from achieving a good winter road rating. Regarding environmental performance, this tyre manufactured in Romania and France receives good ratings with good predicted mileage, clearly good tyre wear ratings, and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

Kleber Krisalp HP3

225/40 R18
Kleber Krisalp HP3
The Kleber Krisalp HP3 misses a good driving safety rating due to its wet road performance and, despite achieving a good environmental rating, only manages a satisfactory overall score. For driving safety, the tyre provides good steering feel on dry roads with largely spontaneous response and good precision, maintaining good performance limits that allow stable and safe obstacle avoidance with good braking performance from 100 km/h. However, on wet surfaces, it clearly fails to achieve good ratings - while it narrowly misses good scores for braking distances, it clearly performs only at a satisfactory level in handling due to moderate grip levels that cause the test vehicle to understeer earlier than desired, and while it achieves good longitudinal aquaplaning resistance, its lateral aquaplaning performance is also only satisfactory. In winter conditions, the Krisalp HP3 regains good ratings with good performance in ice and snow braking distances and snow traction, and even achieves very good ratings for handling where the test vehicle can always be controlled safely and precisely with many reserves in limit situations. Regarding environmental performance, this Romanian-manufactured tyre receives good ratings with good predicted mileage, low tyre wear, and good efficiency primarily due to low fuel consumption, though production residues on new tyres that unnecessarily end up in the environment during the first kilometers are noted as a negative point.

Nokian Snowproof P

225/40 R18
Nokian Snowproof P
The Nokian Tyres Snowproof P fails to achieve good ratings on all three road surfaces and therefore misses a good overall driving safety score, and despite achieving a good environmental rating, only manages a satisfactory overall evaluation. For driving safety, the tyre provides only satisfactory steering feedback and precision on dry roads, requiring occasional corrections during steering input and cornering due to its elastic response feel, and the test vehicle tends to oversteer during dynamic evasive maneuvers or lane changes with only satisfactory limit behavior, though it achieves good braking distances that are slightly above average for the test field. On wet surfaces, the Nokian delivers satisfactory overall performance - while it still scores well for braking distances, it only achieves satisfactory ratings for both longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance and handling, where the tyre tends to understeer early and lacks precision with moderate limit performance. In winter conditions, the Snowproof P also only manages satisfactory ratings overall, achieving good scores only for ice braking while receiving satisfactory evaluations for snow braking distances, traction, and handling, where the test vehicle cannot be steered with particular precision and the limit range is again only at a moderate level with early tendencies toward under- or oversteering, though the tyre still offers some reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this Finnish-manufactured tyre receives good ratings with good predicted mileage and tyre wear, plus good overall efficiency primarily due to low fuel consumption, though its weight is rated only as satisfactory.

Momo North Pole W 20 EUROPA

225/40 R18
Momo North Pole W 20 EUROPA
The Momo W-20 North Pole fails to achieve good ratings on dry and winter roads and therefore misses a good driving safety score, and also only manages a satisfactory environmental rating, resulting in a satisfactory overall grade. For driving safety, the Momo shows slight weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, with limit behavior rated as only satisfactory compared to the test field - the test vehicle should respond more decisively to steering commands and stabilize more quickly when counter-steering, though the tyre's braking distances are rated as good. On wet surfaces, the W-20 North Pole achieves a good rating, particularly excelling in braking tests and convincing with good handling where the test vehicle can be steered largely precisely over the course with good grip providing decent safety reserves, though it narrowly misses good ratings for longitudinal aquaplaning and is rated just satisfactory for lateral aquaplaning. In winter conditions, the W-20 North Pole again only manages satisfactory ratings overall - while it achieves good scores for braking tests on snow and ice as well as pure snow traction, it cannot maintain this level in handling where the tyre can only satisfactorily combine longitudinal and lateral forces, causing the test vehicle to tend toward under- or oversteering somewhat early depending on the curve, negatively affecting precision and limit reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this Serbian-manufactured tyre only achieves satisfactory ratings despite scoring well for predicted mileage and low tyre wear, but falls short in efficiency due to higher weight and fuel consumption.

Ceat WinterDrive

225/40 R18
Ceat WinterDrive
The Ceat WinterDrive fails to achieve good ratings on dry and wet roads and therefore misses a good driving safety score, and despite achieving a good environmental rating, only manages a satisfactory overall evaluation. For driving safety, the tyre shows weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected for good ratings during steering input and cornering - steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the WinterDrive doesn't fully convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in limit behavior that isn't critical but only achieves satisfactory ratings, though dry braking distances are clearly rated as good. On wet surfaces, the Ceat also only manages satisfactory ratings overall - while it achieves good braking distance scores, it only receives satisfactory ratings for both longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance, and its handling performance is rated as just adequate due to insufficient combination of longitudinal and lateral forces, causing the test vehicle to understeer early and lack precision over the course with moderate limit performance and adequate safety reserves. In winter conditions, however, the WinterDrive achieves clearly good ratings with above-average performance in both snow and ice braking distances as well as snow traction, plus good handling results where the test vehicle can be steered precisely with consistently good reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this Indian-manufactured tyre receives good ratings with above-average predicted mileage, low tyre wear, and good efficiency thanks to low fuel consumption, though its weight is slightly elevated.

Matador MP93 Nordicca
The Matador MP93 Nordicca fails to achieve good results on dry, wet, and winter roads, resulting in only a satisfactory driving safety rating, and also narrowly misses a good environmental score, leading to a satisfactory overall evaluation. For driving safety, the tyre shows weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected for good ratings during steering input and cornering - steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the Matador doesn't fully convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in limit behavior that isn't critical but only achieves satisfactory ratings, and dry braking distances are also rated as only satisfactory compared to the test field. On wet surfaces, the MP93 Nordicca also only manages satisfactory ratings, failing to achieve good scores for braking distances or longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance, while its handling performance is rated as merely adequate due to poor combination of longitudinal and lateral forces, causing the test vehicle to tend toward under- or oversteering early and for extended periods depending on the curve, preventing precise control over the course with low limit performance and only adequate safety reserves. In winter conditions, the MP93 Nordicca also narrowly misses good results, though it achieves good ratings for snow and ice braking as well as snow traction, its handling performance is only rated as satisfactory since the tyre should better combine longitudinal and lateral forces for more precise course control, with moderate limit reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this French-manufactured tyre narrowly falls short of satisfactory ratings, just missing good scores for predicted mileage but showing low tyre wear and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

Uniroyal WinterExpert
The Uniroyal WinterExpert fails to achieve good ratings on dry and winter roads and therefore misses a good driving safety score, and despite earning a good environmental rating, this isn't sufficient to improve the overall judgment to "good." For driving safety, the tyre shows significant weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected during steering input and cornering - constant steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the WinterExpert doesn't convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in overall limit behavior that isn't at a high level and is just rated as satisfactory, though dry braking distances are still rated as good compared to the test field. On wet surfaces, the Uniroyal achieves good ratings with both braking distances and handling performance rated as good - the test vehicle can be driven safely and controllably over the course with the tyre consistently providing good limit reserves, though its longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning behavior is only satisfactory compared to the test field. In winter conditions, the WinterExpert narrowly misses good ratings, achieving good scores for both snow braking distances and snow traction compared to the test field, but failing to earn good handling ratings as it would need to better combine longitudinal and lateral forces, overall providing moderate grip levels in handling with satisfactory limit reserves, and also only achieving satisfactory ratings for ice braking. Regarding environmental performance, this French-manufactured tyre receives good ratings with good predicted mileage, low tyre wear, and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

For driving safety, the tyre shows weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected during steering input and cornering - frequent steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the Kristall Control HP2 doesn't convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in overall limit behavior that isn't at a high level and is rated as adequate, while dry braking distances are also rated as only satisfactory compared to the test field. On wet surfaces, the Fulda also only manages satisfactory ratings - while it narrowly misses good scores for braking distances, its handling behavior is clearly rated as satisfactory due to moderate grip levels and the need to better combine longitudinal and lateral forces, which would positively impact limit behavior and precision, and while its longitudinal aquaplaning behavior is still rated as good, it doesn't achieve good ratings for lateral aquaplaning. In winter conditions, the Kristall Control HP2 just manages to secure good ratings overall, achieving good scores for both snow braking distances and snow traction compared to the test field, but narrowly missing good ratings for ice braking distances and snow handling, where it would need to better combine longitudinal and lateral forces for good scores, offering moderate grip levels and satisfactory limit reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this German-manufactured tyre receives good ratings with good mileage, low tyre wear, and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

On wet surfaces, the GT Radial also only manages satisfactory ratings, failing to achieve good scores for braking distances or longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance, while its handling performance is rated as merely adequate due to poor combination of longitudinal and lateral forces, causing the test vehicle to tend toward under- or oversteering early and for extended periods depending on the curve, preventing precise control over the course with low limit performance and only adequate safety reserves. In winter conditions, the WinterPro 2 Sport also fails to achieve good results overall, though it manages good scores for snow braking and snow traction, its handling performance is rated as only satisfactory since it would need to clearly better combine longitudinal and lateral forces for more precise course control, with moderate limit reserves, and it also narrowly misses good ratings for ice braking. Regarding environmental performance, this Chinese-manufactured tyre also only achieves satisfactory ratings due to satisfactory predicted mileage that impacts the environmental score, though it earns good ratings for tyre wear and fuel consumption while having above-average weight.

For driving safety, the tyre shows weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected for good ratings during steering input and cornering - steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the Semperit doesn't convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in overall limit behavior that isn't at a high level and is rated as only adequate, though dry braking distances are still rated as good compared to the test field. On wet surfaces, the Speed-Grip 5 achieves good ratings with good scores for braking distances, longitudinal aquaplaning behavior, and handling, though it only manages satisfactory ratings for lateral aquaplaning - overall the test vehicle can be driven safely and controllably over the course with the tyre providing sufficient limit reserves. In winter conditions, the Speed-Grip 5 narrowly misses good ratings, achieving good scores for both snow braking distances and snow traction compared to the test field, but scoring just satisfactory for ice braking and missing good handling ratings as it would need to better combine longitudinal and lateral forces, offering moderate grip levels and satisfactory limit reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this French-manufactured tyre misses good ratings due to its predicted mileage, though its tyre wear is still rated as good and efficiency is good thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

Giti GitiWinterW2
The Giti GitiWinter W2 fails to achieve good ratings on dry, wet, and winter roads, resulting in only satisfactory driving safety and environmental performance with a satisfactory overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows poor precision and steering feedback requiring constant corrections, with oversteering tendencies and adequate limit behavior, plus satisfactory braking distances. On wet surfaces, it narrowly misses good ratings despite achieving good scores for braking and aquaplaning resistance, but handling is only satisfactory due to moderate grip and early understeer. In winter conditions, it manages only satisfactory ratings for snow braking and traction with adequate handling performance that lacks precise control and sufficient reserves, though ice braking is satisfactory. This Chinese-manufactured tyre receives satisfactory environmental ratings due to moderate predicted mileage, despite good scores for tyre wear and efficiency.

Syron Everest 2

225/40 R18
Syron Everest 2
The Syron Everest 2 receives poor ratings on dry and wet roads resulting in poor overall driving safety despite very good winter performance, plus satisfactory environmental performance for a poor overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows poor responsiveness and steering feedback with very imprecise handling requiring constant corrections, oversteering tendencies during dynamic maneuvers with adequate limit behavior, and only satisfactory braking distances. On wet surfaces, it receives poor ratings overall with very early under/oversteering tendencies and poor force combination compared to other test products, plus very low grip and limits, with poor braking and lateral aquaplaning but adequate longitudinal aquaplaning. In winter conditions, it achieves the best results in the test with very good ratings across all criteria including snow and ice braking, snow traction, and handling with excellent force combination allowing absolutely safe and precise control with very high limits. This Chinese-manufactured tyre receives satisfactory environmental ratings with satisfactory predicted mileage, tyre wear, and weight, good fuel consumption, though production residues on new tyres that end up in the environment are noted negatively.

CST Medallion Winter WCP1

225/40 R18
CST Medallion Winter WCP1
The CST Medallion Winter WCP1 receives satisfactory ratings on dry and wet roads but poor winter performance, resulting in poor overall driving safety despite satisfactory environmental performance for a poor overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows only adequate precision and steering feedback requiring frequent corrections, with significant oversteering tendencies and adequate limit behavior, but achieves satisfactory ratings overall thanks to above-average braking distances. On wet surfaces, it achieves satisfactory ratings with good braking and longitudinal aquaplaning but only satisfactory lateral aquaplaning and adequate handling due to weak grip, low limits, and inadequate force combination. In winter conditions, it receives poor ratings despite satisfactory snow braking and traction, with poor handling performance due to inadequate force combination resulting in very imprecise control and very low limits with early under/oversteering tendencies, plus only adequate ice braking. This Turkish-manufactured tyre receives satisfactory environmental ratings with good predicted mileage and tyre wear, but satisfactory efficiency due to high weight despite good fuel consumption impact.

Tomket Snowroad Pro 3

225/40 R18
Tomket Snowroad Pro 3
The Tomket Snowroad Pro 3 receives adequate ratings on dry roads, satisfactory on winter surfaces, but poor on wet roads, resulting in poor overall driving safety despite good environmental performance for a poor overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows barely adequate responsiveness and steering feedback with very imprecise handling requiring constant corrections, oversteering tendencies during dynamic maneuvers with adequate limit behavior, and narrowly missing good braking distances. On wet surfaces, it receives poor ratings overall with very early under/oversteering tendencies and poor force combination compared to other test products, plus very low grip and limit performance, with only satisfactory ratings for braking and aquaplaning resistance. In winter conditions, it achieves satisfactory ratings across all criteria including snow and ice braking, snow traction, and handling, though control isn't particularly precise with moderate limits and early under/oversteering tendencies requiring better force combination. This Chinese-manufactured tyre receives clearly good environmental ratings with very high predicted mileage rated as very good, low tyre wear, and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

Evergreen Winter EW66

225/40 R18
Evergreen Winter EW66
The Evergreen EW66 receives poor ratings on all three surfaces, with wet road performance being the main factor in the overall downgrade, plus satisfactory environmental performance due to low predicted mileage for a poor overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows poor responsiveness and steering feedback with very imprecise handling requiring constant corrections, oversteering tendencies during dynamic maneuvers with adequate limit behavior, and only satisfactory braking distances. On wet surfaces, it receives poor ratings overall with very early under/oversteering tendencies and poor force combination compared to other test products, plus very low grip and limit performance, with only adequate braking and lateral aquaplaning but satisfactory longitudinal aquaplaning. In winter conditions, it also receives poor ratings due to poor ice braking performance, despite good snow performance with good braking, traction, and handling that combines forces well with safe, precise control and good limits. This Chinese-manufactured tyre receives satisfactory environmental ratings with satisfactory predicted mileage and weight, but good tyre wear and fuel consumption.

        In ADAC test result placement, yesterday it was shown 8th- Nokian , 9th-Momo and 10- Ceat.. and now yes you’re right! it’s 8th- Nokian & Momo, 10 - Ceat.. so, who’s 9th now? a ghost! :)

          There's two tires in 8th place that tied on points according to the adac grading :)

          Maybe if you went to the results tab it doesn't show placement so momo would look to be in 9th.
