Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs Hankook Ventus Evo

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!

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

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

• Outstanding tread life (~54,020 km) and best cost per 1,000 km in testing
• Low noise in Auto Bild and strong comfort for a max-performance tyre
• Competitive dry grip/handling with precise steering
• Efficient rolling resistance and strong value proposition

Hankook Ventus Evo

• Class-leading wet braking across all shared tests
• Excellent wet handling and aquaplaning resistance
• Refined ride with low cabin noise in Auto Express
• Strong overall pace; podiums in two of three tests

Real World Driver Reviews

Tyre Reviews also collects real world driver reviews for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and Hankook Ventus Evo.

In total the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 has been reviewed 152 times and drivers have given the tyre 86% overall.

The Hankook Ventus Evo has been reviewed 7 times and drivers have given the tyre 85% overall.

This means in real world driving, people prefer the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6.

Conclusion

Across the trio of tests, Hankook takes two overall podiums (3rd/52 and 3rd/9 equivalent placements) by dominating wet braking and wet handling, plus strong aquaplaning and cabin refinement. If you regularly face rain or prioritize maximum wet-road safety margins, the Ventus Evo is the sharper, more confidence-inspiring choice.

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.

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.
