Comparison: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 vs. Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 vs. Falken Azenis FK510 vs. Vredestein Ultrac Satin

Our comparison today focuses on two popular summer tyres: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 and Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117, produced by Goodyear and Hankook respectively.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 was made in Germany. It was later replaced by the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. This model performed excellently in numerous tests, notably acing dry driving behavior. Rankings were inconsistent across different tests, with positions ranging from 1st to 8th out of a pool of up to 14 tyres. Despite this, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 stood out in the Automotorsport and Autobild tests where it ranked 1st and 2nd respectively.

Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117, on the other hand, does not have a newer model. This summer tyre shone in several areas: dry driving behavior, exterior noise level, and wet braking. In terms of test ranks, it consistently placed within the top 7 positions. Notably, it secured 2nd place in the Sportscars test, and performed well in the ACE test clinching the 4th position.

In terms of mutual test positions, Hankook's model generally ranked higher in most tests, except for Autobild and Automotorsport where Goodyear's model took the lead. However, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 showed consistent strength in the ACE test while the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 excelled in dry driving behavior; therefore, we can say that the choice between these two depends on your specific needs and preferences.

In conclusion, both tyres exhibit a set of strengths and stand out in test performances. The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 showed superior dry driving behavior and also performed well in multiple tests. Meanwhile, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 demonstrated consistent robust performance across a wider range of features. Thus, either tyre would be an excellent choice for summer conditions depending on user preference and exact driving conditions.
