Giti GitiSport S2 plus vs Hankook Ventus Evo

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 three tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Hankook Ventus Evo is better than the Giti GitiSport S2 plus purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Key Strengths

Giti GitiSport S2 plus

• Very competitive outright results in car-focused testing (4th/20 in the 2026 Autobild summer test; 5th/50 in the braking mega-test), showing it can run near the front in the right conditions
• Strong aquaplaning results in the Autobild test (straight aquaplaning 94.5 vs 90.4 km/h; curved 3.6 vs 3.4 m/s²), suggesting good water evacuation in that specific size/test setup
• Potential efficiency advantage in the SUV test via lower rolling resistance (7.68 vs 8.15 kg/t), which can translate to slightly lower energy consumption
• Generally “no glaring weakness” profile in the Autobild report, making it a credible value-oriented max-performance choice when priced right

Hankook Ventus Evo

• Best-in-class overall performance across the shared tests (wins all 3; 1st/20 Autobild and 1st/9 SUV test)
• Stronger, more repeatable braking performance in both dry and wet (e.g., dry braking 32.8 m vs 34.3-34.5 m; wet braking advantages range from marginal in Autobild to decisive in the SUV test)
• Excellent wet handling and grip balance (wins wet handling and wet circle in shared tests; described as the strongest wet performer in the SUV test)
• Better total ownership case in Autobild: longer projected wear (56,310 vs 50,020 km) and better value metric (11.01 vs 12.2 price/1000), alongside lower rolling resistance (7.69 vs 8.99 kg/t)

Conclusion

Across the shared 2026 tests, the Hankook Ventus Evo is the more consistently high-performing tyre-and it converts that into results: 3 wins out of 3 shared tests, including 1st/20 in the Autobild summer test and 1st/9 in the summer SUV test. Its edge is most meaningful where it matters most for safety and confidence: braking and wet grip. For example, in the SUV test Hankook's wet braking is 50.2 m vs Giti's 60.1 m (nearly 10 metres shorter), plus stronger wet handling (89.1 vs 83.8 km/h) and better aquaplaning metrics overall in that test.

Key Differences

• Overall competitiveness: Hankook dominates the shared results (3/3 test wins), while Giti ranges from strong mid-pack (4th/20) to last (9th/9) depending on test type and conditions
• Wet braking spread can be huge: in the SUV test Hankook stops in 50.2 m vs Giti's 60.1 m-nearly 10 m shorter-whereas in Autobild the gap is tiny (42.1 vs 42.5 m)
• Wet handling confidence: Hankook is consistently quicker (e.g., 89.1 vs 83.8 km/h in the SUV test; 83.6 vs 82.6 km/h in Autobild) and is described as the best wet performer in the field
• Aquaplaning performance is test-dependent: Giti wins straight and curved aquaplaning in Autobild (94.5 vs 90.4 km/h; 3.6 vs 3.4 m/s²), but in the SUV test Hankook leads both straight (88.7 vs 85.3 km/h) and curved aquaplaning (2.54 vs 2.34 m/s²)
• Efficiency/rolling resistance flips by test: Giti is better in the SUV test (7.68 vs 8.15 kg/t), but Hankook is clearly better in Autobild (7.69 vs 8.99 kg/t)
• Longevity and cost-per-km: Hankook holds a meaningful advantage in Autobild wear (56,310 vs 50,020 km, +12.6%) and a better value index (11.01 vs 12.2), making it easier to justify despite its higher-performance positioning

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.
