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.

Bought these tires new in 2019. Used them during the winter only 2019/2020/2021 and then they remained mounted through 2022 and until July 2023.
Front 240/40R20 and rear 275/35R20.
They served really well until cca apr-may 2023 when I first started noticing mild vibrations. I wrote it off on disbalancing. By mid July the vibrations became so strong I decided to visit the shop just to find that 3 out 4 tires had sever deformations.
Front tires had their inner walls started bubbling and one rear tire was so deformed on its contact surface that it looked like a wave. Luckily I had a set of summers sitting somewhere so I convinced the shop to put the winter tires back on so I can drive home and return with summers for change...
Perhaps my laziness with tire swapping costed me perfectly good winter tires or perhaps its durability is subpar to better brands.
Either way, I would gladly use them again and hopefully with a proper seasonal swap they could last couple of years longer :)

I am from LV used these tires one winter season - very nice and quite tires for this low price. Our winter is -15c till +5c, wet snow, snow+mud or dry cold road. Can't provide any bad feedback. Before these used Continental, Dunlop, Pirelli. My millage not so high some 5k-10k per winter.
