Real World Driver Reviews

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Driver Reviews

Drivers overwhelmingly praise the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for outstanding wet and dry grip, confident braking, and a strong comfort/noise balance, often noting improved steering feel and overall handling versus prior tires (Michelin PS4/PS5, Pirelli, Bridgestone). While most find it quiet and comfortable, a notable minority report faster-than-expected wear and occasional soft sidewall/understeer or noise on rough surfaces; overall sentiment remains strongly positive.

Based on 149 reviews with an average rating of 86%

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 Driver Reviews

Most drivers rate the Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 positively, praising strong wet and dry grip, low noise, high comfort, and excellent durability/wear on many vehicles (including EVs). A recurring minority critique is soft sidewalls causing vague steering/feedback and some cases of faster wear or aquaplaning as tread drops. Overall, the S1 evo 3 is seen as a great-value, comfortable UUHP tire with safe, predictable performance.

Best Review for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

Given 100% 225/40 R18 on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles

I am a massive Goodyear fan. I had the Assym 3's on a previous car and never looked back.

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 tires 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

Fitted a set of these to my Mazda3 Sport Nav. I've always been a fan of Hankook tires but have had various on different cars, Michelin to Budget.

First thing you notice with these tires is just how much they improve the ride. The car had stock Dunlop Sport Maxx TT tires 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

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the more complete performer. It dominates dry performance, leads most wet handling and aquaplaning metrics, rides quietly, rolls efficiently, and lasts significantly longer in wear testing-translating to strong long-term value despite a higher purchase price. The Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 shines for short wet braking and attractive pricing, but it trails in steering precision, aquaplaning resistance, wear, and overall balance. For drivers who prioritise dynamic ability, confidence in mixed conditions, and lifecycle value, choose the Goodyear. Budget-conscious buyers who mainly want strong straight-line wet stopping at a lower upfront cost will be satisfied with the Hankook.

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

Overall Winner: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

Based on the tire test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tire has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tire buying choice.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire 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 tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire 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 tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
