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 Federal 595RSRR Reviews

Given 83% while driving a Honda Civic Type R (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 15 spirited miles
I had the chance to buy wheels with brand new RS-R when i first got the car, and i was really surprise by the grip and wear on both wet and dry condition, and i naturally decided to upgrade to the RS-RR, and i'm really happy with the tire, the wear a bit better, and the grip too, wet was mostly identical, i did a trackday after doing ~5k km, and i managed to still do 10k more km (including ~4k km with very spirited driving for 1k km minimum), and i'm still using them at the time writing this, i think i can manage maybe 1k or 2k more km on them, almost 20k km on a semi slick is really good, the only real bad thing, is the side wall being a bit to soft
If you want to start your track journey, i can only recommand this tire, you will be able to do multiple trackday on it, and still be able to come back home on it

Given 62% while driving a Toyota Celica VVTLi (215/45 R16) on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Dry grip is phenomenal, wet grip is better than expected. But the noise is unbearable

Given 84% while driving a Mercedes Benz C124 300CE (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 3,700 spirited miles
Driven hard on roads and on track about 400km on track and 5600km on road. The tires are very noisy (sometimes sounds like a propeller airplane), but this is what you should expect from semi slicks tires. The dry grip is excellent and i'm surprised over the grip in wet.
