Giti GitiWinterW2 vs Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3

Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been ten tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 is better than the Giti GitiWinterW2 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Key Strengths

Giti GitiWinterW2

• Very strong straight-line and curved aquaplaning resistance in multiple tests
• Low external noise in several sizes/tests
• Competitive pricing and decent mileage for the money
• Occasionally solid dry feel and subjective wet handling

Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3

• Class-leading snow capability (traction, handling, braking)
• Consistently shorter braking on dry, wet, snow, and ice
• Excellent wear, low abrasion, and often lower rolling resistance
• Balanced, precise handling with high safety margins across conditions

Real World Driver Reviews

Tire Reviews also collects real world driver reviews for the Giti GitiWinterW2 and Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3.

In total the Giti GitiWinterW2 has been reviewed 1 times and drivers have given the tire 86% overall.

The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 has been reviewed 13 times and drivers have given the tire 87% overall.

This means in real world driving, people prefer the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3.

Conclusion

Across dry, wet, snow, wear, and efficiency metrics, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 is the clear benchmark, topping all 10 shared tests and delivering consistently shorter braking distances and higher control margins-especially on snow and in wet handling. Its markedly better longevity and lower abrasion strengthen its long-term value despite the higher purchase price. The Giti GitiWinterW2 offers credible aquaplaning resistance, low noise in some sizes, and sharp pricing, but its longer braking distances and less predictable behavior-particularly on snow-limit its safety envelope in mixed winter conditions.
If you prioritize maximum safety, confident snow performance, balanced wet grip, and durability, choose the Goodyear. If your winters are milder with frequent standing water and budget is the priority, the Giti can work-provided you accept longer braking and less precision on snow and dry roads.

Key Differences

• Overall results: Goodyear wins all 10 shared tests; Giti has no overall wins
• Braking performance: Goodyear shorter in most dry/wet/snow/ice events (e.g., ADAC 225/40 R18: −6% dry, −9% wet, −6% ice)
• Snow capability: Goodyear notably stronger in traction and handling; Giti can be unpredictable on snow
• Wet handling: Goodyear typically faster and more controlled; Giti's wet braking often longer but aquaplaning resistance is higher
• Efficiency and longevity: Goodyear shows much better wear and lower abrasion (e.g., ADAC: 76,500 km vs 43,700 km)
• Rolling resistance: Goodyear generally lower (not always), aiding fuel economy; Giti often higher
• Comfort/refinement: Goodyear scores higher subjectively; Giti can be quieter externally but less composed overall

Overall Winner: Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3

Based on the tire test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tire has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tire buying choice.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
