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.

Given 86% while driving a Suzuki swift sport (195/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 35,000 average miles
These are the OEM tire for the Swift Sport and they work so well that they were an obvious choice when it came to changing tires (there aren't many choices in this tire size!). Outright grip in the dry isn't huge but they are relatively narrow and it's not really what the car is about. They break grip progressively and work well in the wet. The tires the car was on when it was new lasted for 35k miles at which point one pair was changed and then another pair at 40k mile - quite incredible for a car of this type (probably helped by the dealer rotating the tires at every 9000 mile service - strangely this is part of the schedule)

Nice tire for dry, nice for wet also but when thread is wore out, there are less grip in the wet, noisy, and wore out too fast

Initial Impressions Review
Given 66% while driving a Volkswagen (185/55 R14) on for 20,500 miles
Had the F1 GSD2 to replace a set of stock ContinentalSportContact CH90 that had no grip but confortable...

The F1 had a very good grip, had tried them on a frind's car and solved that problem but were just too noisy cornering.

Also there was no rim protection and smashed two wheels on day 2... on this size the tires looked like they were smaller than reality.

Would not buy them again on this size and replaced than with an awesome set of Michelin Pilot Exalto that were a perfect match for car/size.

Given 50% while driving a Suzuki swift sport (195/45 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 13,000 spirited miles
Came standard on my Suzuki Swift Sport and to be honest I don't think that much of them. They loose grip very quickly in all conditions and with the car pushed hard you really have to be very careful. As they have only lasted just over 13,000 miles I find them very dissapointing. Normally I wouldn't mind a tire not lasting that long provided they gave so proper grip.

Given 60% while driving a Mazda MX5 (185/60 R14 H) on mostly country roads for 6,000 spirited miles
I have them on my miata for more than 10000km and what can I say? At first they were Ok and good on wet. After 10000km they are not even half wear but they have harden and lost the ability to grip. On dry they are all over the place until they warm up (too difficult) and on wet... Don't even think about pushing them. They are too unpredictable. Wouldn't buy them again. I was fulled because the GSD3 is the best tire on the market and thought this was good too.
