Falken Azenis RS820 vs Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport

Across the three shared tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport is the clear performance choice. It wins dry handling in all three comparisons (e.g., 78.66s vs 79.17s in the 2026 performance test; 66.88s vs 67.47s in EVO) and is even more decisive in the wet, topping wet handling every time (notably 77.73s vs 81.73s in EVO) while also leading straight and curved aquaplaning. Professional notes repeatedly describe a connected, confidence-inspiring balance that lets you carry speed, rotate the car on demand, and get on the throttle earlier-exactly what buyers expect from a max-performance summer tyre.

The Falken Azenis RS820 makes a more compelling case if your priorities are day-to-day efficiency and respectable safety without chasing the last word in lap time. It takes 2 out of 3 dry-braking wins (including 33.1m vs 34.1m in the AutoBild test) and, most consistently, it's markedly lower in rolling resistance in every shared test (e.g., 8.5 vs 9.3 kg/t; 9.6 vs 10.4 kg/t). The trade-off is that it gives away meaningful time and confidence in wet handling and tends to be less reassuring at the limit in the rain-precisely where the Goodyear's advantage is most “felt,” not just measured.

Practical takeaway: if you drive hard, do fast-road runs, occasional track days, or simply want the most trustworthy wet-and-dry handling balance, the Goodyear remains the smarter buy-even if it's “showing its age” and may cost more at the pump. If you want a quieter/efficient performance tyre with strong braking moments and are willing to accept a step down in wet-circuit pace and ultimate precision, the Falken is the value-leaning alternative.

Footnote

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.
