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.

Worst Tires. I drove only 26000 KM and my all Tires had repaired for more than 10 times. Additionally, i found one bubble on my rear Tire. I immediately changed all the tires. I won't recommend the purchase of Dunlop T1

Tires had done less than 2000kms when purchased car with them. Have spun out when driving slowly in town had abs kicks in in the wet with only light application of brakes. Taking off from stand still is slow with the wheels spinning with minimal throttle

Given 18% while driving a Mazda 626 (195/60 R15) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
Worst tires ever. Going up a moderate hill in the wet at constant 55kph and started slowing down. Dropped down a gear and wondered what was happening. Tires didn't have enough traction in wet to go up the hill at a constant speed. My daughter had an accident with them. Virtually zero braking ability going down mild hill in wet (brakes had been checked 3 days before). In the dry, on hot seal tarmac, had to slip clutch to avoid tire squeal/loss of traction. Vehicle was a 2.0litre Mazda 626 manual. Absolute death trap tires. After vehicle repaired, tires removed and replaced with Pirelli P7 Cinturato which are absolutely brilliant in comparison and showed none of the problems of the Dunlops. NEVER EVER BUY THESE TYRES

Dunlop Touring T1 developed bubbles on the side walls very early, as compared to Roadstone Radial 100.
