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 S1 evo 3 Driver Reviews
Most drivers rate the Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 highly, praising its excellent wet braking and very solid dry grip alongside a quiet, comfortable ride and strong value for money. Many note predictable, confidence-inspiring behavior and, for a good number of users, respectable tread life. The main drawback is a soft sidewall feel that limits steering precision and sporty feedback, so it suits grand-touring comfort more than hardcore performance. A minority report faster wear on certain fitments (notably some EV/OEM/runflat applications).

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
First thing you notice with these tyres is just how much they improve the ride. The car had stock Dunlop Sport Maxx TT tyres and whilst these gave a sharper steering feel you felt every little ripple in the road. The Hankooks certainly smoothed things out, with only a small trade off in steering feel. Next is the grip. In both wet and dry I've been known to do some pretty stupid things, but I've yet to trigger the ABS or lose grip... Continue reading this review using the link below
Conclusion
Key Differences
- Overall results: Goodyear wins 8 tests vs Hankook's 1
- Dry performance: Goodyear repeatedly first in braking/handling; Hankook mid-pack
- Wet braking: Hankook frequently shorter stops; Goodyear better when worn and in overall wet handling
- Aquaplaning: Goodyear generally stronger, especially in curved aquaplaning
- Wear/mileage: Goodyear vastly better (e.g., 63,200 km vs 35,200 km in AutoBild)
- Value equation: Hankook cheaper upfront; Goodyear better lifecycle value via wear and efficiency

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.
