Comparison: Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 vs. Bridgestone Potenza Sport vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

The comparison is between the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 and the Bridgestone Potenza Sport. These two UUHP summer tyres have performed commendably in a number of tests, with each showcasing their unique strengths.
Starting with the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3, it is of note that this tyre is a popular choice as a first equipment for models from Audi, Porsche, and BMW. Despite its impressive performance in terms of exceptional value for money and a notable wet grip, this tyre was criticized for its slow steering response and lower aquaplaning resistance. Its top positions in the tests were 4th (Die Reifentester), 7th (ACE) and 6th (Autobild). Clearly, it is a solid all-rounder tyre, but its inclination towards comfort over outright sportiness might not sit well with some drivers. Although it does not have a newer model replacing it as of now, keep an eye out on Hankook's website for any upcoming models.
On the other end, we have the Bridgestone Potenza Sport. Despite its impressive wet grip and sporty feel, this tyre had the potential for longevity issues when used on demanding circuits as indicated during the TyreReviews.com 2023 tests. Additionally, its poor performance in cooler wet braking tests and high rolling resistance were points of criticism. Nevertheless, its best features justified its 1st positions in the tests by Die Reifentester and Autobild. You can expect a balanced and precise handling, short braking in both dry and wet conditions, but at a price – it costs over 30% more per KM driven than the top performing tyre in the test.

In conclusion, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport was the overall winner in the tests, despite the cost implications. However, for those looking for a cost-effective solution with strong performance particularly in wet conditions, the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 can be a desirable alternative.
