The Imperial Snowdragon UHP rounds out the test rankings, offering basic winter performance at an unmatched budget price. On wet surfaces, it struggles significantly, ranking lowest in the test and only marginally meeting acceptable safety standards. Its performance on dry asphalt is somewhat more stable, though still far from impressive. Snow is where the Snowdragon UHP manages to provide reasonably decent traction and control, making it a serviceable option for snowy conditions on a tight budget. For those prioritizing cost above all else, the Imperial Snowdragon UHP presents a low-cost winter tire solution, albeit with compromises in wet-road safety.

The Imperial Snowdragon UHP, noted for its average performance on snow and dry asphalt, encounters significant challenges in wet conditions. It presents some unpleasant surprises, including poor braking and inadequate hydroplaning performance, which could be concerning in wet weather driving. Despite being the cheapest option in the test, its overall competitiveness is hindered by these performance issues.

Positive: Good dry handling, low external noise, cheap purchase price.
Negative: Extremely long braking in all conditions, low grip in the wet with weak aquaplaning resistance, significantly reduced grip in the snow, high rolling resistance.

Low price (less than half the price of premium tires). Good handling response and braking performance on dry pavement. Almost unacceptable performance on snow and wet pavement.
