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.

Questions and Answers for the Goodyear Eagle LS2

Please confirm if these tires (Goodyear Eagle LS2) can be used legally in Germany in winter. Please confirm which symbol they have on the side wall to prove they meet German winter laws. Please confirm if it has the 3 Peaks Mountain Snow Flake symbol on the side wall

Goodyear or your tire retailer will be able to confirm, but I would be very surprised if the LS2 was 3 peak mountain and snowflake symbol marked.

Given 62% while driving a Acura (225/50 R18) on mostly motorways for 15,000 average miles
Lots of cupping. Tread still good but very noisy.

Given 76% while driving a BMW 520d Tourer (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
Wanted to find some all season runflats - these were the only ones I could find in my size. Got tired of changing wheels and my 19s on any kind of tire were annoyingly noisy at motorway speed. These have been very good so far - though mild winters mean they've yet to be tested in snow and ice.

Initial Impressions Review
Given 58% while driving a Honda Accord EX L V6 (235/45 R18) on for 70,000 miles
They are good tires. They are very noisy when they become a little worn. And they are NOT run flats

Given 89% while driving a BMW 520d M Sport (245/45 R18 V) on mostly country roads for 10,000 average miles
Just completed 10K miles and still have 6mm tread left (BMW F10 MSport) so very pleased with the wear. Comfort & noise is much better that previous Dunlop Sport Maxx's. Not had great deal of use on snow but wet performance is good.
Handling at the limit will always favour a summer tire but that's not important to me.

Given 94% while driving a BMW X6 M (225/50 R19 H) on mostly motorways for 32,000 average miles
Simply fantasitc tire. I drive an X6m and I'm not slow. I've done 32,000 on a set of four of these and that have lasted me just over 2 years. I'm definitely buying them again. Any tire you can get 32K from without changing is a keeper!!!

Given 79% while driving a Audi 1.8T Quattro (225/45 R17 H) on mostly country roads for 17 average miles
nearly 2 years and 17k miles since fitting these tires are still on my car a4 tqs they still have enough tread to be ok for the next winter.
They didn't have much snow to deal with last winter but the car felt much more grippier when we did compared to the previous Bridgestones I had on before.
The rim protectors have done their job and my refurbished alloys from Alloy Art don't have any kern gouges on.
About the only thing negative about these tires I can say is that if you're going to drive these hard is that due to the natural rubber content of them they will get a bit slippery after a few miles !

Given 85% while driving a Audi A4 Avant B5 TQS (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Got these tires as I decided to try an all season design and that they had a rim protector (I had them changed after some alloy art refurbishment). Set of 4 put on my Audi Avant TQS.
First thing I noticed compared to the Bridgestone S01 that came of was the ride comfort and reduced noise levels. The side walls have more give and there is less rubber contacting the road. The car will slide a bit more - but it is controllable.
Like everyone we were expecting snow but instead these tires were tested with lots of wet roads. I've thrown the car at lots standing water and I'm really impressed to how well they have coped with this.
I cannot comment on the wear at the moment as I've only turned about 2,000 miles with them. I'll report back should I feel that I need to.

Given 56% while driving a Ford S Max (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Had them for a few months now, unfortunately no snow this winter so can't comment their performance on snow. Performance on mud pretty good, certainly better than summer tires. Most disappointed by performance in dry/wet conditions where the wheels nearly always spin when I put off, and I'm not talking about racing starts. This leads me to be very concerned about the grip when in pushed to limit, ie in an emergency. Comfort/noise are good though. Can't really comment on wear, as I've had them for 2000 miles. They are the only all-season run-flat in my size, but not sure I'd buy them again.
March 11, 2014
Given 74% while driving a Jaguar S Type 2.7D (245/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 1,500 easy going miles
A really good all season tire. M&S rated, a little bit better than other all season tires I've used on slush & light snow (up to 50mm). Dry grip is impressive, wet is equally admirable. Road noise is low & fuel efficiency is good.
My driving style is smooth average speed is 55mph, maximum speed is 90mph.
I would buy again. Prices were good. I paid £120 fitted per corner.
