Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 vs Hankook Ventus Prime 4

Patterns are clear. Hankook holds a reliable edge in outright braking-winning all nine wet braking matchups and most dry stops-making it the safer-feeling choice when your priority is emergency stopping and confidence on typical wet roads. It also frequently places near the front in magazine leaderboards and tends to be cheaper at purchase.

Goodyear's case is compelling for everyday touring: superior curved aquaplaning resistance, quieter running, notably lower rolling resistance, and dramatically longer tread life (often 25-70% more mileage) create excellent whole-life value. In mixed driving and motorway rain ruts, that aquaplaning advantage plus comfort and economy swing the balance.

Bottom line: Choose Hankook if you prioritise sharp braking response and strong value upfront. Choose Goodyear if you want the quiet, efficient, long-lasting option with stronger aquaplaning security and lower total ownership cost.

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.
