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 Gislaved Euro Frost 6 Reviews

Given 81% while driving a Mercedes Benz E270 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
Good tires, good on snow, but I would not consider it good for winter because it is very poor on ice...

Given 100% while driving a BMW 320 d (205/55 R16) on mostly country roads for 10,000 average miles
Great budget tires, 16 year old RWD BMW had absolutely no problems in snow, icy conditions nor wet roads. Already did around 10.000km, as a budget option I highly recommend them.

Good on dry handlingwise. very weak in the wet and snow. early understeer and struggling a lot with traction. they seem to be better summer than winter tires for me.
would not recommend.

Dry - very good.
Wet - very good.
Snow - really good.
Ice - useless (maybe because of car weight of almost 2 tons).

Given 89% while driving a BMW 318D (245/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
Been faced with BMW RWD, I had to seek for the best "Nokian Hakepalita" but no sale on our market, instead recommended Gislaved as substitution of Swedish experience and Continental owned manufacture.
Previously had Conti TS850,Dunlope 3D, Pirelli ect as premium spending of 300 euro per piece, but having this Gislaved on budget of 130euro is best investment they are top of the range with performance, definitely will recommend it and already test it in snow.

Go for it wherever you can find it.
