The Performance 3 leads on wet grip and comfort; the Performance+ fights back on ice and snow handling.
Goodyear has built a strong winter reputation across several generations of UltraGrip tyres, and today two models sit at the top of the premium passenger range: the GoodYear UltraGrip Performance+ and the newer GoodYear UltraGrip Performance 3. These are not simply old and new versions of the same thing — they have genuinely distinct characters. The Performance+ is the sportier, snow-biased option that rewards drivers who prioritise control in winter conditions; the Performance 3 is the more well-rounded, comfort-focused evolution that has impressed testers with its wet grip, refinement, and sheer breadth of capability. If you're trying to choose between them, the answer depends on where and how you drive in winter.

Its recent test record is excellent, its wet grip is among the best available, and real owners are genuinely enthusiastic. The wider size range also makes it more accessible. The caveat is ice: if you regularly drive on icy roads rather than just wet or snowy ones, or if ice performance matters more than wet refinement in your climate, the Performance+ edges ahead in that specific area and is also the better option for sporty or higher-powered vehicles where dynamic snow handling matters most. Both are premium Goodyear products and both will serve you well — the choice is really about whether your winter roads are more likely to be wet and slushy, or snow-covered and icy.
