The Tire Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tire scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

I bought 2 sets of 4 tires from online company after 3 months both sets are scrap. They told us that we had problem with our cars so they don't replace. Both cars are inspected every year and nothing was wrong with them. Even when they installed the tires at the garage the mecanic check. I certainly won't buy them and recommand them

Given 90% while driving a Ford Focus mk2 (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 22,000 average miles
Just bought a second set of 4 of these after the first set lasted around 22000 miles.I probably could have got another 2000 miles out of them before they were a illegal but I decided to change them early due to winter coming and I had a day off work.They did everything I expected them to mainly on motorway commuting at or around legal limit hence all 4 needing replacing together.I prefer cheaper brands as premium ones tend to collect more punctures.All 4 tires fitted and balanced £180 which I consider reasonable.Ride got a little noisy near end of life but this may be my car as previous kumho tires did same,

Bought these tires 1 year ago with no expectation for my civic 2012. I figured I cant go wrong for such a low price. Well what a surprise, these tires seems just as good as the brands on performance. Will buy again.
