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.

Good off-road performance, low price.
Very poor grip, poor balance and very long braking distances in the wet.
Not Recommended.

Top 3 Goodride SU318 HT Reviews

Given 61% while driving a Nissan Dualis (225/65 R17) on mostly town for 100 easy going miles
I have just bought new SU318 for my Nissan Dualis, I would say the driving is Very comfortable and the grip on both wet and dry just ok. Not sure how these last though. Grateful if they will last 40,000km as many have said. However, I have driven the first 100 kms on mostly paved road but looks like I'm loosing groove fast.

Really they've been a fine all round tire except for longevity! Got 26000kay and no longer pass wof. But hey they were grippy in wet and cheap so can't complain

Given 50% while driving a Tesla Model 3 standard plus (215/60 R17) on track for 4,000 easy going miles
The tires that came with the new BYD Yuan Up feel very unsafe, especially on wet surfaces. They seem to slip easily on grass and even on wet roads. Despite my very conventional driving style—never accelerating past 100 km/h—the tires feel like they are about to lose grip on regular turns at speeds above 80 km/h. On some occasions, even when starting the car from a stationary position, such as leaving the garage with minimal force, the tires feel like they are slipping. I would not purchase these tires again.
