Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 5 tests, 2024 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport

Most owners agree the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport delivers outstanding dry grip and confidence, backed up by sharp steering response and strong dry handling, with many also praising its stability when driven hard. Wet grip is generally rated good for a UUHP tyre, though around one in ten owners specifically criticise wet handling, and a similar share note it can struggle in colder conditions. Comfort is the main compromise: close to three in ten owners find it too firm or unsettled over bumps. Tread life is more mixed, with a meaningful minority reporting rapid wear (especially on higher-torque use) while others see impressive longevity for the category.
- Exceptional dry grip, even when driven hard
- Precise steering response and strong feedback
- Very capable dry handling and cornering confidence
- Good wet grip for a UUHP summer tyre
- Firm, busy ride that can feel harsh over bumps
- Tread life is inconsistent, with some reporting fast wear
- Poor cold-weather grip; not a winter-friendly choice
Summarised by AI from 61 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.
All 66 Eagle F1 SuperSport reviewsThe Goodyear SuperSport tires deliver immediate feedback and precise handling. The best part is how they completely changed the behavior of my S3 3‑door: it used to push from the nose, but with these tires the front end finally bites and the rear becomes playful.
The car is so much more fun to drive now.
They’re also almost indestructible, especially compared to Pirelli and Michelin (which have their own strengths, but durability isn’t one of them).
I really enjoyed these tires and would absolutely buy them again — unless Goodyear releases a new SuperSport.
Thanks, Goodyear. Great work.
Vredestein Ultrac Pro

Drivers largely praise the Vredestein Ultrac Pro for strong dry and wet grip, confident handling, and notably good ride comfort, with several noting premium feel and value. High-scoring reviews highlight short braking distances, stability, and decent wear for aggressive or heavy vehicles. A minority report concerns include poor performance in very cold (sub-5°C) conditions and one case of premature wear/delamination. Overall, the Ultrac Pro delivers balanced performance with comfort-focused tuning and attractive design.

All 7 Ultrac Pro reviewsI've had them for two summers and about 10k kms on a Ford Focus ST250. When I was buying them I was looking for good tires at a fair price and these were the newest model available at the time.
Dry: In the dry they have good traction, predictable handlings and good comfort for a UHP tire. Breakaway is communicated well and they don't surprise you out of nowhere. Lift of oversteer is easily achieved and controlled. They do wheelspin a bit in first gear if you are a bit more enthusiastic with the throttle but that's expected on a more powerful fwd car.
Wet: They have good and predictable grip in the wet, good aquaplaning resistance and stop quite well.
Others: Rim guard is somewhere in the middle, not as big as Bridgestone but better than Hankook. Sidewall design is good, comfort and noise are good for a uhp tire. Wear has also been good for me, I expect to change them due to age and not wear but then again I don't do that many miles a year.
It's a tire I like and would recommend. Price to performance is good. Would consider buying. I got their Wintrac Pro Plus to try this winter so I've been satisfied with Vredesteins as a whole.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
Five shared tests split three to two for the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport, and this pair swing violently from test to test. The Vredestein Ultrac Pro was 3rd of 8 in Auto Bild Sports Cars' 2026 test with the Goodyear last of eight; the Goodyear was 4th of 8 at Die Reifentester in 2025 with the Vredestein last of eight.
Where the Goodyear wins, it wins on dry pace and wet braking. It braked shorter in the dry in three of five tests, 33.5m against 35.1m at EVO, won three of four dry handling comparisons and both subjective wet handling scores, 60 points against 57 at EVO.
The Vredestein's constant is efficiency. It rolled with less resistance in all five measurements, by 15.7 percent in the 2026 Sports Cars test, 8.69 against 10.31 kg/t, and by 15.1 percent at EVO. It was also quieter in all three noise measurements and rated more comfortable in both subjective scores.
Conclusion
Read the placings carefully here, because they contradict each other. The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport took three of the five shared tests: 4th of 8 at Die Reifentester in 2025 where the Vredestein Ultrac Pro finished last of eight, 3rd of 7 at Auto Bild Sports Cars in 2025 against 6th, and 3rd of 7 at EVO in 2024 against 5th. Its case is dry performance: shorter dry braking in three of five tests, 34.1m against 35.2m at Sports Cars and 33.5m against 35.1m at EVO, three of four dry handling wins, and both panels scored it higher for subjective wet handling, 4 points against 2 at Die Reifentester and 60 against 57 at EVO.
The Vredestein Ultrac Pro won the other two, and one of them was emphatic: 3rd of 8 in Auto Bild Sports Cars' 2026 test with the Goodyear last of eight, where it braked 10.3 percent shorter in the wet, 46.2m against 51.5m, handled 15.4 percent faster in the wet, 73.3 against 63.5 km/h, and was 10.7 percent quicker round the wet circle. It also won at Auto Bild Sports Cars in 2024, 3rd of 7 against 6th. Its consistent advantage is rolling resistance, lower in all five measurements by between 10.7 and 15.7 percent, and it was quieter in all three noise measurements, 70.9dB against 74.2dB in 2026, and rated more comfortable in both subjective scores.
The volatility is the story. Both tyres have finished last of the field in a test the other placed third in, which suggests size and fitment matter a great deal here: the Vredestein's wins came in 255/35 R19 and 295/30 R20, the Goodyear's in 225/40 R18, 295/30 R20 and 235/35 R19. Check results in your own size before deciding. On the whole, the Goodyear is the dry-performance choice and the Vredestein the efficient, quiet one, with a clear wet advantage when it is on form.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
