Which winter tires with rim protection should I consider for a CUPRA Leon using 225/40 R18 92V tires?

Automatically reviewed answer

Hello, I would shortlist the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 in 225/40 R18 92V XL FP, provided this specification is approved for your CUPRA Leon. Goodyear’s Netherlands catalog lists this exact variant, and FP is its rim-protection designation. In ADAC’s 2025 winter test, the 225/40 R18 92V version scored 2.0 overall, rated “good”. It achieved the best wet-road rating, although ADAC noted slight dry-handling weaknesses at the limit. Rim protection can help reduce curb damage; I would treat it as an extra precaution and still avoid curb contact. Before ordering, ask the supplier to confirm the exact XL FP variant and check the size and required ratings against your vehicle documentation or with CUPRA. The catalog listing and tire test do not establish approval for your particular car.
