Real World Driver Reviews
Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport Driver Reviews
Drivers generally describe the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport as a very high-grip, confidence-inspiring UUHP tire with standout dry handling, sharp turn-in, and excellent steering feedback, often performing impressively on occasional track use thanks to strong heat tolerance and consistency. Wet performance is commonly rated as good for the category (with many finding it surprisingly capable), and a number of users report better-than-expected tread life for a performance tire. The most repeated trade-offs are a firmer, harsher ride and, for some cars/uses, faster wear and less reassuring traction on cold/damp/greasy surfaces-especially as tread depth gets low.
Based on 61 reviews with an average rating of 84%
Vredestein Ultrac Pro Driver Reviews
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.

Tires I already drove on my 322hp Megane RS: PS4, PS4s, PS3, Nokian Powerproof and now the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport in 235/40/18.
Dry grip and feedback is great! Full throttle out of the corner is easy (works great with some added negative camber). It gives you so much confidence. The feedback is superb and now I really can push the car to its limits. I think they behave the same as the PS4s but it is difficult to compare because I've changed the suspension this year.

Conclusion
In conclusion the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport performed better in dry braking, dry handling [s], subj. dry handling, wet handling [s], subj. wet handling and curved aquaplaning, while the Vredestein Ultrac Pro performed better in dry handling [km/h], wet braking, wet handling [km/h], wet circle, straight aqua, subj. comfort, subj. noise, noise and rolling resistance.
Interestingly, both tires performed equally well in dry handling and wet handling, showing that they are closely matched in these areas.
Which tire is best for you depends a lot on your driving style and situation, plus what you want from the tire. Comparing all the data in the tire reviews database, on balance Vredestein Ultrac Pro seems to be the best tire overall.

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.
