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.

Given 61% while driving a (180/55 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Better suited to track use and hot summer days be careful to warm up because the difference from cold to warm is severe and they do take a time to work once warm they are brilliant with good feedback .but if it's a cold day forget it they give no warning. But if the sun is shining enjoy

Rode these tires only on track, and they were the best tires i have ever ridden on track. Used Michelin 2CT, Supersports Evo's and BT S20's, they just feel like planted accelerating out of the bend on lean angle. The wear on the sides is a bit troublesome, have used the tires for 3 track-days and the groves on the side are gone. Still plenty of groove on the middle patch.

wasnt a popular tire in as people has always been accustomed to Pirelli SC but for me this tire is the best for aggressive riders.

It perform best in hot and dry condition but also is the one that i can trust in the wet. Ridden in heavy storm on the twisted highway but i never need to speed down too much like i have been in Pirelli SC which sucks too much on the wet.

Clocked 4000km now, which i emptied 2 full tanks on the track and still the tire is still in their 40% condition(10% track, 70% on highways, 20% on country roads). might change it after i hit 1000 or 2000km more or 1 more Sepang trackday as i can sells it as 2nd hand rather than use it up and throw away

fitted on ZX10R 2013

Awesome tires.
Fitted for the last session of a trackday at Rockingham, replacing Pirelli Diabli Rosso Corsas. I built up speed slowly but don't think I needed to. By the end of the session I was the fastest I'd been all day. I don't think I was anywhere near their limit - I need to learn to hang off the bike a lot more for these tires. Have been playing with the rearsets to try and help me get off the side. Looking at the wear I was right on the edge of the rear and they were absolutely planted. Felt like they had hooks on them.

They just felt good immediately. I think you'd need to be pretty good to want more in the dry.

Conditions were warm and dry. Think I was running 30F/28R and I think they are medium compound both ends.
