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 Goodride SW602 Reviews

Given 80% while driving a Citroën C3 (/65 R15) on mostly town for 22,000 average miles
I selected this tire for a citroen c3 (1100 and around 60hp) because of their cost compared to the EU label grades. Before this set I switched summer tire (bridgestone turanza) and winter tire (goodyear). I live in north Italy, around Milano. Summer is hot, winter is not so cold with very few snow. In my opinion the Goodride SW602 are the perfect tire for this kind of car. No particular noise, great on wet, fuel consumption equal to the summer tire, and after 22000miles they worked great with 6in of snow.

Given 87% while driving a BMW 3 series (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 5,600 spirited miles
Awesome cheap tires! They are great for wet and snow - using them on a RWD car - i have no problems with handling and stopping even at higher speeds.
Highest speed done with 4 of them - 190km/h on dry , 130 on wet and 100 on lightly snowy. Considering i live near a mountain and i usually go in winter conditions - those tires are great bang for the buck! Only the Alpin Pilot A5 are better - but yet the price is also greater!

Given 90% while driving a Mercedes Benz C 250Sport (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 6,000 spirited miles
In the snow last December in Scotland they were worth every penny, and again February this year 2012 in the south of the country. Would have been stuck without them
