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 GITI Winter W2 suffers from a lack of predictability, which is its primary flaw. This was most apparent on snow, where its driving behavior was described as difficult to assess, a characteristic clearly reflected in its poor handling and slalom results. While its summary mentions respectable performance in some areas, its poor side grip on snow and unforeseeable reactions make it a challenging tire to drive confidently, especially in winter conditions.

The Giti GitiWinter W2 fails to achieve good ratings on dry, wet, and winter roads, resulting in only satisfactory driving safety and environmental performance with a satisfactory overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows poor precision and steering feedback requiring constant corrections, with oversteering tendencies and adequate limit behavior, plus satisfactory braking distances. On wet surfaces, it narrowly misses good ratings despite achieving good scores for braking and aquaplaning resistance, but handling is only satisfactory due to moderate grip and early understeer. In winter conditions, it manages only satisfactory ratings for snow braking and traction with adequate handling performance that lacks precise control and sufficient reserves, though ice braking is satisfactory. This Chinese-manufactured tire receives satisfactory environmental ratings due to moderate predicted mileage, despite good scores for tire wear and efficiency.
