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 40% while driving a Toyota Yaris (195/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
i have been using them for 20k km so far .. Their traction is very bad on highways, dusty roads. very terrible and slippery on wet roads . They also started to get noisy after 10K. There are many cheap tires out there that can outperform these tires. to be honest, they can be good for inside city driving or for those low speed drivers that don’t demand performance. otherwise, I do not recommend them at all.

Given 36% while driving a Mazda RX8 (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
Shocking tires, can't wait to get them removed. Incredibly noisy above 50mph, virtually no grip in the wet, poor grip in the dry. Had the abs kick in on a slightly damp road under strong but not heavy braking. Should be banned from sale.
These were fitted to my Mazda rx8 when I bought it, have already changed the rears to Goodyear Eagle F1's and the difference is night and day.

Given 20% while driving a Peugeot 508SW HDi estate with 17" wheels (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 200 easy going miles
My wife had these fitted less than 2 months ago whilst driving on a dual carriageway last night at 60 miles an hour the rear tire split apart like a remould and we nearly lost control so dangerous will never buy these again I would post a picture if I could

Given 39% while driving a Honda Civic Diesel (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 6,000 average miles
These Chinese poverty tires are terrible in all aspects. The wet grip is alarming and resembles driving on a beginning layer of ice. Noisy and uncomfortable ride. There are better economy tires that cost only a bit more, and your life is worth that extra. A garage near me buys in Chinese tires at £8 a tire and fits them when anybody asks for something cheap, because clearly a dangerous car is preferable to a few less packs of cigarettes or a few less gallons of booze. They're rubbish and dangerous. Avoid.

Given 23% while driving a BMW 1 series (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 1,000 easy going miles
Just purchase a 2009 BMW 118d M Sport, first drive in the rain tires are a complete disaster, no rear lateral grip causing the DSC to operate to keep the car from sliding. Poor hill starts, again causing wheel spin. I would say im a 53 year old drive and I am far from aggressive in my driving style. I will be changing the tires even thought there is over 5mm tread left.
Avoid like the plague.

Given 53% while driving a Citroën C3 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 4,000 average miles
Only had them for 3 months but the noise is deafening. The kids can't sit in the back. Seen them rated as noise level 2 and 3. They are at their worst around 60 mph but once you go above 75 mph the noise reduces. Stuck them on the car as a low budget but will not buy again. Noise at 30 mph reminds me of army jeeps going along tarmac.
