In this article we will be looking at independent tyre test data, and real world driver reviews of the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 and the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 to find out which tyre is best for your own driving.
There are a few basic differences between the two tyres. The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 is an Premium-Touring Winter tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger-Cars, and the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 is an Ultra-High-Performance Winter tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger-Cars
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been eight tests which compare both tyres directly!
Out of these eight tests:
While it might look like the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 is better than the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.
Looking at data from seven tyre tests, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 was better during six dry braking tests. On average the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 stopped the vehicle in 2.96% less distance than the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005.

Looking for more tyre comparisons? Here are other direct comparisons involving these tyres:
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre 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 tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre 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 tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
