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 Lassa DriveWays Sport

Ask a question
February 25, 2022

What is the depth of the tread on a new tire Lassa 235/45R18 98Y Driveway SPT XL. ? I ask this because I got 4 of these fitted (Tire Spot) to my 2017 VW Passat only 12 days ago (100 miles recorded since) and according to Lookers (VW) the measurement readings taken during MOT & Health check were 2 x rears at 7mm - 2 x front 7mm but inner tread 6mm. I am taking car back to Lookers next week for alignment check. 2 x 6mm.

It's not unusual for the outer shoulders of tires to have lower tread depth. Legal tread depth measurement is taken from the center 75% of the tire.

Given 71% while driving a Opel insignia (245/40 R19) on mostly town for 80 spirited miles
I'm using since 80.000Km on my Opel Insıgnıa. They had a same premium road feedback and grip. Dry and Wet really like grip monster.
Had a unbeliveable strong wear so can drive 80.000km =)

But they are very noisy and low comfort after 4 year and long kilometers.
I will change them nowadays. I want buy a little comfortable tires. May be will miss lassa's best grip.

Given 63% while driving a BMW 25i Sport XDrive (225/45 R18) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
Average tires, noisy and quite light feeling steering wise. They are accurate enough, but lack the feel of a premium brands offering in this segment. Will get Hankook or similar to replace these on my 225i.

Longest mileage than other brand without sacrifice the performance, dry and wet performance is better, a bit noisy but reasonable.

Good grip in every situation. Everything is good except for one things. Too noisy and you will feel the rumble during low speed cruising.

Cant believe a tire can reach high mileage with the performance this tire gave me for aggressive driving including trackday, just bought another set

Given 89% while driving a Volkswagen Golf MK5 GT 170 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
These are very reliable tires and I put them at the front. Excellent grip in both dry and wet. The sidewall is just stiff enough to ensure stable cornering and handling. Not the quiestest tires but the noise level is totally acceptable.

Given 52% while driving a Peugeot 308 BlueHDI EAT6 (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 1,500 average miles
Disappointed with these as they come from the same factory as Bridgestone. Handling seems okay but too noisy. Had Goodyear Efficient Grip on before and they were miles ahead. Recommended by the tire fitter as they didn't have Goodyear but wouldn't buy again.
