Hankook Ventus Evo vs Yokohama Advan Sport V107
The headline theme is balance and efficiency versus dry-edge sharpness. The Ventus Evo is consistently the safer, more rounded performer-especially in the wet, where it wins wet braking in all five shared tests-while also showing clear advantages in rolling resistance, wear and overall running costs. The Advan Sport V107's main counterpunch is dry stopping power (it wins dry braking in 3/5 shared results), plus one standout result for straight-line aquaplaning resistance in the 2026 AutoBild test (93.0 km/h vs 90.4 km/h).
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 five tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Hankook Ventus Evo is better than the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 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 wet braking across all shared tests (5/5 wins), often by large margins (e.g., 42.1 m vs 47.9 m in 2026 AutoBild)
- Very strong overall dynamics with top-tier handling results (e.g., best dry handling speed 101.5 vs 100.8 km/h in 2026 AutoBild; strong wet handling wins in multiple tests)
- Lower running costs: consistently lower rolling resistance (e.g., 7.69 vs 10.1 kg/t in 2026 AutoBild) and better value metrics
- Better longevity and wear efficiency (e.g., 56,310 vs 45,630 km and lower abrasion 1470 g vs 1794 g in 2026 AutoBild)
- Strong dry braking performance with multiple wins (3/5 shared dry-braking results), including small but repeatable edges in 225/40 R18 tests
- Competitive dry handling capability when conditions suit (e.g., slight handling win in 2025 Auto Express: 82.8 s vs 83.1 s)
- Best straight-line aquaplaning result in the 2026 AutoBild test (93.0 vs 90.4 km/h)
- Sporty, grippy dry-road character noted in professional commentary, albeit more demanding near the limit

Real World Driver Reviews
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.

Yokohama Advan Sport V107 Driver Reviews
Drivers generally describe the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 as a very sporty max-performance summer tyre with strong dry grip, sharp steering, and confident handling/feedback that can hold up surprisingly well for occasional track use. Many also report good wet traction, though several note reduced confidence in colder conditions and some aquaplaning as the tyre wears. The most consistent drawbacks are short tread life for a “premium” tyre and higher road noise/roar on coarse pavement, especially at highway speeds.

Conclusion
The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is not a “bad” tyre-its dry braking is frequently excellent (e.g., it edges Hankook in both 2025 Auto Express and 2025 AutoBild dry braking, and it's strong in dry handling feel in some write-ups). But its recurring weak point is wet capability relative to the leaders, and its consistently high rolling resistance (described as the highest in multiple tests) undermines both economy and overall scoring. Practical takeaway: if you want the most complete fast-road summer tyre that doesn't punish you in the wet or at the pump/charger, the Ventus Evo is the smarter buy; if you're prioritizing dry stopping and occasional standout hydroplaning stability in a straight line-and can accept higher running costs-the V107 can still appeal.
Key Differences
- Wet braking is the decisive separator: Hankook wins 5/5 tests, with gaps that can be several metres (e.g., 27.0 vs 30.6 m; 42.7 vs 49.6 m), translating to a meaningful safety advantage.
- Overall rankings heavily favor Hankook (e.g., 1/20 vs 13/20 in 2026 AutoBild; 4/21 vs 19/21 in 2025 AutoBild), indicating the Hankook's broader competence beyond one standout metric.
- Dry braking often favors Yokohama (3/5 wins), but the margins are generally small (e.g., 34.0 vs 33.8 m in 2025 AutoBild), and don't offset its wet deficits.
- Efficiency/running costs strongly favor Hankook: Yokohama repeatedly posts very high rolling resistance (e.g., 10.1 vs 7.69 kg/t in 2026 AutoBild), which hurts fuel/energy use and overall scoring.
- Wear and durability favor Hankook (e.g., 56,310 vs 45,630 km in 2026 AutoBild; 41,440 vs 35,890 km in 2025 AutoBild), improving cost-per-km and long-term value.
- Aquaplaning is mixed: Yokohama can excel in straight-line aquaplaning (notably 2026 AutoBild), but Hankook is more consistently strong across wet handling/braking and often competitive in aquaplaning too.

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.
