Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Hankook Ventus Evo for the best all-round summer performance-especially if you drive in mixed weather, want shorter wet stopping distances, and care about efficiency, wear and value. Consider the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 mainly if your priority is dry braking feel/performance and you're willing to trade away wet security and accept higher rolling resistance and typically higher running costs.
Where the Ventus Evo is stronger
- Class-leading wet braking across all shared tests (5/5 wins), often by large margins (e.g., 42.1 m vs 47.9 m in 2026 AutoBild)
- Very strong overall dynamics with top-tier handling results (e.g., best dry handling speed 101.5 vs 100.8 km/h in 2026 AutoBild; strong wet handling wins in multiple tests)
- Lower running costs: consistently lower rolling resistance (e.g., 7.69 vs 10.1 kg/t in 2026 AutoBild) and better value metrics
Where the Advan Sport V107 is stronger
- Strong dry braking performance with multiple wins (3/5 shared dry-braking results), including small but repeatable edges in 225/40 R18 tests
- Competitive dry handling capability when conditions suit (e.g., slight handling win in 2025 Auto Express: 82.8 s vs 83.1 s)
- Best straight-line aquaplaning result in the 2026 AutoBild test (93.0 vs 90.4 km/h)

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Hankook Ventus Evo
- 86%from 24 reviews
- 78%would buy again
- 106,316 milesdriven by reviewers
Owners rate the Hankook Ventus Evo very highly overall, with most praising strong dry and wet grip that inspires confidence. A clear majority also highlight low road noise and a comfortable, compliant ride for an everyday performance tire. The main drawback is steering feel: around one in three owners say it lacks initial feedback or sharpness versus premium rivals, even if outright grip remains strong.
- Very strong dry grip
- Very strong wet grip
- Generally quiet at speed
- Comfortable, compliant ride
- Steering feel lacks feedback/initial bite for some drivers
- Can be a bit noisy on certain surfaces or at particular speeds
- Ride can feel slightly firm on low-profile fitments

All 24 Ventus Evo reviewsI bought set of these in SUV version to replace OEM worn-out Bridgestone Dueller tires. The Hankooks were one of few options available in size for Lexus RX and the price was very good. Obviously, they are sport-biased, not intended for a comfortable relaxed SUV. Their grip both in dry and wet is perfect, steering precise. But, they are not the choice for maximum comfort and silence. Winter set (Conti 870P) in the same size are significantly quieter and more comfortable. However, these tires are a smart choice- good price, peak safety and also good wear- after 20000km stil about 4-5mm. I would buy them again, but not for RX.

Owners most consistently praise the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 for strong dry performance, with around three in five highlighting excellent dry grip and many also noting sharp steering and confident dry handling. Wet grip is generally rated as decent, though opinions are more mixed, with a small but notable group (around one in seven) finding it weaker, particularly in colder conditions. The biggest drawback is longevity: around two in five owners complain of very fast wear. Noise is another frequent issue, with around one in three reporting higher road roar, especially on rougher surfaces.
- Outstanding dry grip and confidence under power
- Very capable dry handling with strong feedback
- Direct, responsive steering feel
- Stiff, sporty sidewalls that support hard driving
- Very short tread life and rapid wear
- Noticeable road noise/roar, especially on coarse surfaces
- Needs heat or a bedding-in period to feel at its best

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
Hankook's Ventus Evo and Yokohama's Advan Sport V107 sit in a similar “fast road” summer-tire space, but the shared test data shows they approach that brief very differently. Across five independent group tests (two sizes: 225/40 R18 and 245/45 R19), the Hankook repeatedly lands near the very top of the table, while the Yokohama tends to finish mid-pack or lower despite flashes of strong dry pace.
The headline theme is balance and efficiency versus dry-edge sharpness. The Ventus Evo is consistently the safer, more rounded performer-especially in the wet, where it wins wet braking in all five shared tests-while also showing clear advantages in rolling resistance, wear and overall running costs. The Advan Sport V107's main counterpunch is dry stopping power (it wins dry braking in 3/5 shared results), plus one standout result for straight-line aquaplaning resistance in the 2026 AutoBild test (93.0 km/h vs 90.4 km/h).
Conclusion
On objective performance, the Hankook Ventus Evo is the clear overall winner across the shared evidence: it places 1/20 vs 13/20 in the 2026 AutoBild summer test, 2/50 vs 18/50 in AutoBild's braking-only mega test, and it comfortably outperforms the Yokohama in wet braking margins that are big enough to matter in real driving (e.g., 42.1 m vs 47.9 m in 2026 AutoBild; 27.0 m vs 30.6 m in the 2026 braking test; 42.7 m vs 49.6 m in 2025 AutoBild). It's also the more efficient and lower-cost tire to run, with markedly lower rolling resistance (e.g., 7.69 vs 10.1 kg/t in 2026 AutoBild) and better projected wear (56,310 vs 45,630 km in the same test).
The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is not a “bad” tire-its dry braking is frequently excellent (e.g., it edges Hankook in both 2025 Auto Express and 2025 AutoBild dry braking, and it's strong in dry handling feel in some write-ups). But its recurring weak point is wet capability relative to the leaders, and its consistently high rolling resistance (described as the highest in multiple tests) undermines both economy and overall scoring. Practical takeaway: if you want the most complete fast-road summer tire that doesn't punish you in the wet or at the pump/charger, the Ventus Evo is the smarter buy; if you're prioritizing dry stopping and occasional standout hydroplaning stability in a straight line-and can accept higher running costs-the V107 can still appeal.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
