Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport vs Hankook Ventus S1 Evo Z K129

On balance, the Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z K129 is the more consistently convincing all-rounder in these shared results: it wins 3 of 4 overall comparisons and dominates the measurable day-to-day metrics-rolling resistance (4/4 tests), noise (3/4), and wet braking (3/4). The size of the wet-braking gap is sometimes meaningful rather than marginal: in Autobild 2026 it stops in 46.0 m vs the Goodyear's 51.5 m from 100 km/h (~10.7% shorter), and in the 2024 sports car test it's 50.2 m vs 57.3 m (~12.4% shorter). Add frequent aquaplaning wins and typically better efficiency, and the Hankook makes a strong case for high-speed wet motorway safety and lower running costs.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport's best argument is “how it drives” when the pairing is right. In the 2026 performance summer test it's quicker in wet handling (102.7 s vs 105.19 s) and dry handling (78.66 s vs 79.15 s) with stronger subjective scores (dry: 8.25 vs 7.75; wet: 8.0 vs 7.75), and it's repeatedly described as unusually comfortable for a tyre in this class. However, it's also repeatedly flagged for high rolling resistance and, in some tests/sizes, disappointing wet braking and even balance issues-Autobild 2026 in particular paints a worst-case scenario (last overall) that's noted as likely a fitment mismatch rather than a universal verdict.

Practical takeaway: if you want the safer, quieter, more efficient choice that most often delivers in objective wet metrics, pick the Hankook. If you value steering feel, subjective confidence and comfort and you're buying in a fitment where it has a good reputation/track record, the Goodyear can still be a rewarding enthusiast tyre-but it's harder to recommend blind because the downside (especially efficiency and occasional wet stopping gaps) can be significant.

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.
