Between them, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 and Pirelli Ice Zero Asimmetrico appear in 24 tests, though they have not yet met head-to-head in the same test. Head-to-head results carry the most weight here, because surface, weather and test car all change between events and make raw numbers from different tests hard to compare directly.

    How the Pirelli Ice Zero Asimmetrico performs. It takes the win in ice, noise / comfort, efficiency. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 89/100, based on 1 test.

    What this means for you. Category wins matter more than the overall score when your driving is weighted toward one condition — a wet-climate commuter should follow the wet braking column, while a high-mileage driver should follow wear and rolling resistance. Also check that both tires are actually offered in your size and load rating: performance can shift between sizes, and availability differs between the European and North American markets.

    Verdict

    The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 is the stronger all-round choice, leading in wet and Tire Lab Score. The Pirelli Ice Zero Asimmetrico still wins on ice, making it the right pick if that matters most to you.
