Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs Hankook Ventus Evo
If your priority is outright lap-time style grip and especially wet stopping and wet cornering security, the Hankook repeatedly sets the pace (5 wins to Goodyear's 1 across the shared tests). If your priority is ownership-friendly performance-lower noise, longer wear, and often better efficiency-the Goodyear keeps answering back with strong “total package” credentials, including standout mileage projections and awards focused on cost and sustainability.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been six tests which compare both tyres directly!
| Tyre | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 | one | |
| Hankook Ventus Evo | five |
While it might look like the Hankook Ventus Evo is better than the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 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.
Key Strengths
- Class-leading wear/longevity in shared tests (e.g., 63,830 km vs 56,310; 54,020 km vs 41,440), supporting lower cost per km over time
- Lower noise levels in multiple comparisons (e.g., 67 dB vs 70.6 dB; generally among the quietest)
- Often strong efficiency/rolling resistance in real-world relevant tests (e.g., 7.24 vs 8.15 kg/t in the 2026 SUV test)
- Competitive, safe and predictable all-round dynamics; capable of winning overall when total ownership metrics are weighted (1st/21 in 2025 Auto Bild Performance)
- Best-in-class wet braking across all shared tests (6/6), with margins up to ~3.2 m shorter in key results (50.2 m vs 53.4 m)
- Very strong wet handling and wet cornering consistency; frequently fastest wet lap/circle in shared testing
- Top-tier dry performance in major tests (e.g., shortest dry braking 32.8 m vs 34.5 m and best dry handling in 2026 Autobild)
- Strong price-to-performance proposition noted by testers; repeatedly converts performance into overall wins (5 shared test wins)

Real World Driver Reviews
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Driver Reviews
Across reviews, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is most often described as an exceptionally confident UHP tyre with very strong dry and especially wet grip, high braking performance, and predictable/progressive handling near the limit. Many drivers also report a noticeably more comfortable ride and lower noise than the tyres they replaced, making it feel unusually "daily-friendly" for this category. The most repeated downsides are quicker-than-expected wear for some users and pronounced rumble/roar on rough asphalt, with a smaller but recurring theme of softer sidewalls or slightly duller turn-in compared with sharper rivals.
Based on 183 reviews with an average rating of 86%
Hankook Ventus Evo Driver Reviews
Overall sentiment toward the Hankook Ventus Evo is strongly positive. Most drivers praise its high mechanical grip in dry and especially wet conditions, confident braking, stability, low noise, and good comfort-often comparing it favorably to Michelin PS4, Goodyear Asymmetric, and Bridgestone. A minority mention softer steering feel/feedback and one mid-scoring review reports faster wear on a high-performance Tesla. For most users, it delivers excellent everyday sporty performance at a good price.
Based on 9 reviews with an average rating of 83%
I have now had the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports, Michelin PS4 and even some Avon's (for a brief period) on my current car - a Golf GTI Clubsport 40.
I mix up my driving a lot - lots of motorway driving but also lots of hard street driving and B road blasts, I find it massively important to have the best tyres possible to allow me to push my car as hard as I can in a safe manner.
I was massively impressed with the Asymmetric 5's, the sheer grip... Continue reading this review using the link below

Conclusion
Goodyear's Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, however, makes a strong case as the smarter long-term daily performance tyre. It repeatedly delivers lower exterior noise (e.g., 67 dB vs 70.6 dB in the 2026 SUV test, and it leads noise in multiple tests), and it's the clear wear/mileage leader where measured or projected (63,830 km vs 56,310 km in 2026 Autobild; 54,020 km vs 41,440 km in 2025 Auto Bild Performance). That translates into real cost-per-km strength-even when the purchase price is higher-and it's why it wins “Green Tyre/Eco-Master” style accolades. The practical takeaway: Hankook is the pick for maximum wet-and-dry pace and test-winning grip; Goodyear is the pick for a quieter, longer-lasting performance tyre that remains very competitive dynamically.
Key Differences
- Wet braking is the headline separator: Hankook wins 6/6, including a large gap in the 2026 SUV test (50.2 m vs 53.4 m) and consistent smaller wins elsewhere (e.g., 42.1 vs 42.9 m; 27.0 vs 27.5 m).
- Overall test outcomes favor Hankook (5 wins vs 1), indicating it more often tops aggregate scoring systems, not just single metrics.
- Goodyear is the wear/mileage champion in the shared datasets (e.g., +13% in 2026 Autobild; +30% in 2025 Auto Bild Performance), which can outweigh small grip deficits for high-mileage drivers.
- Noise/refinement tends to favor Goodyear on objective dB readings (multiple wins), while Hankook is more mixed depending on the test's subjective scoring.
- Aquaplaning results are split: Goodyear can be excellent in some measures (notably straight/curved aquaplaning wins in 2026 Autobild), but it also showed a notable straight-line weakness in the 2026 SUV test (lowest float speed of the field).
- Off-road/traction (from the SUV-focused test) diverges: Hankook is stronger on grass and gravel traction, while Goodyear stands out on sand traction and was described as a 'gravel specialist' with high safety margins.
Overall Winner: Hankook Ventus Evo
Based on the tyre test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Hankook Ventus Evo has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tyre has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tyre buying choice.Similar Comparisons

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.
