Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs Hankook Ventus Evo
Early pattern: Hankook repeatedly owns the wet-shorter stops, higher aquaplaning margins, and confident wet handling-while Goodyear counters with class-leading mileage, stronger value per kilometre, and consistently low noise in key tests. Dry performance is closely matched, often separated by tenths or less.
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 three tests which compare both tyres directly!
| Tyre | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 | one | |
| Hankook Ventus Evo | two |
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.

Real World Driver Reviews
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Driver Reviews
Across 160 driver reviews, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is widely praised for outstanding dry and wet grip, progressive and predictable handling, strong braking, and a surprisingly comfortable, quiet ride for a UHP tyre. Many users report improved confidence and everyday refinement versus previous tyres (including PS4/PS5, PZ4, and various runflats), with good value for money also noted. Minority complaints focus on faster wear and relatively low new tread depth, increased noise on rough asphalt, and a softer sidewall feel that can dull initial turn-in or feel floaty at higher speeds. Overall sentiment is strongly positive for performance-focused daily use.
Based on 173 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.

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 lone overall win at Auto Bild is backed by standout wear (≈54,000 km), better cost per 1,000 km (≈€6.66 vs ≈€9.17), and very good noise control there-delivering the strongest ownership value. Dry performance is neck-and-neck, and while Goodyear isn't the wet-grip star in this size, it remains a balanced, efficient all-rounder that minimizes running costs without sacrificing safety.
Bottom line: Hankook for wet-weather pace and composure; Goodyear for the long game-lower total cost, quieter cruising (in the big test), and reliable, rounded dynamics.
Key Differences
- Wet braking: Hankook consistently stops shorter (e.g., 42.7 m vs 44.2 m; 27.4 m vs 28.3 m).
- Wet handling/composure: Hankook quicker and more secure in rain; Goodyear more mid-pack here.
- Aquaplaning: Hankook generally ahead in straight and curved tests, boosting rain safety margins.
- Wear and cost: Goodyear lasts ~30% longer with ~27% better €/1,000 km, lowering TCO.
- Noise/refinement: Hankook quieter in Auto Express; Goodyear quieter in Auto Bild-refinement edge varies by surface/test.
- Dry performance: Essentially a draw-tiny gaps in braking/handling that rarely change real-world outcomes.
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.
