Between them, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus and Tigar Winter 1 appear in 14 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 Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus performs. It takes the win in wet, dry, snow, ice, noise / comfort, mileage, efficiency. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 93/100, based on 12 tests.

    How the Tigar Winter 1 performs. It does not lead any single category outright in this matchup. It has limited comparative test data, so treat its results as indicative.

    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 Plus and Tigar Winter 1 are closely matched. Pick based on the category that matters most to your driving — wet, dry, comfort, mileage, or price.
