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.

The Grabber HTS60 has once again proven itself as a well rounded all season tire, with impressive snow performance. You had less confidence than the full winter tire, and a little less grip everywhere, but the tire was still balanced and useable.

Top 3 General Grabber HTS60 Reviews

Given 94% while driving a Chevrolet silverado 1500 (275/60 R20) on mostly country roads for 72 average miles
These came on my new 2020 Silverado . I now have 72,000 miles on them , still some tread . They are quiet tires and very smooth . They are very good in the rain . Good in the snow . This is my first pickup in many years and can't believe how well these tires have performed . Secure .

Given 100% while driving a Subaru 06 B9 Tribeca (225/55 R18) on a combination of roads for 63 spirited miles
These have been great tires and have lasted over 63k miles and are finally starting to get a bit hard and showing some cracks. I am about to put on my 3rd set so obviously I think they are great. I can't speak to snow because we change out to studded tires for winter.

Given 83% while driving a Ford F 150 (235/65 R17) on a combination of roads for 550,000 average miles
The Grabber HTS60 a really good all round tire, somehow it seems to work well on the road, dirt, and snow. Coming up to 55,000 miles and still some tread left but I'm going to change them coming into this winter.
