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.

Top 3 Bridgestone B 390 Reviews

Given 42% while driving a SEAT Leon FR tdi (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 6,000 average miles
Poor wet grip

Given 87% while driving a Toyota Innova (205/65 R15) on mostly town for 15 average miles
I have these on a 2014 Innova Toyota diesel in Indonesia. Car mostly sits in garage, and it has approx 15k miles in 12 years. They feel firm , but grip well, have no cracks, and they're maybe half worn. We live on mountain and car stays aprrox 75 deg f except when using. I wouldn't believe the durability if I hadn't seen for myself. I'm hoping I can still buy B390 when it needs new tires.

Given 56% while driving a Toyota Innova (205/65 R15) on mostly town for 14,000 easy going miles
I wear them around 20k kilometers for mostly in town road and mostly drove with max speed 80 kmh. Less grip when wet. Good on dry. Last 20-25k kilometers before both inner and outer sides run out but the center still can last another 5k. I felt it stiffer on bad road. Average price with average life. I considered it a good buy

Given 99% while driving a Renault Megane (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
Good tires. They came original fitted when I buyed my car and I was happy with them. I drove them on all types of roads and highways(including very bad Romanian villages roads)

Given 61% while driving a Ford transit (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 14,000 average miles
Front tires didnt make 14000 miles, no performance vehicle either, a ford transit connect. Rear tires wont make 25000. Vehicle is speed limited as well.

Given 70% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 1.9 Tdi (195/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 19,000 easy going miles
Original tires rotated 10k and changed 19k with 4mm left. Car does wander slightly on mway as first poster says. Otherwise a satisfactory all-rounder, would buy again but no stock so fitted Uniroyal Rainmaster, four at £250 fitted, very pleased so far.

Given 83% while driving a Skoda Octavia (195/65 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 32,000 easy going miles
The tires are seven years old and fitted from new to a Skoda Octavia which is driven sedately and have done 32,000 miles, the fronts are down to 4mm but the rear two tires are now on the limit of 1.6mm the only thing I have noticed about the tires is the fact that the car does tend to wander slightly. Wet weather grip is excellent also gripped well in last years snow covered roads. Road wheel noise is evident mainly from the rear tires.
Time for a change now and have gone over to Uniroyal Rain Expert tires.
