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 six tests which compare both tyres directly!

Real World Driver Reviews
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Driver Reviews
Drivers rate the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 very highly overall, most often praising its strong dry and especially wet grip, short braking distances, and predictable/progressive behavior near the limit. Many also report a comfortable, refined ride for a UHP tyre with good value versus Michelin/Continental rivals. The main recurring downsides are faster-than-expected tread wear for some users and noticeable roar/rumble on rough asphalt, with a smaller but repeated theme of softer sidewalls or slightly numb turn-in/understeer compared with sharper alternatives.

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.
