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 Marangoni 4 Winter Reviews

Given 97% while driving a Honda Jazz (165/60 R15 H) on mostly motorways for 10,000 average miles
Got these for a Jazz originally and they were a massive improvement, driving on snow with these was like driving a car in normal conditions. They got me to work in really treacherous conditions that a car in normal tires would not have done. Swapped them over to the Yaris when the Jazz had to be replaced and only time I really struggled was on soft snow as the 15 inch wheel size is rather wide for soft snow.

Given 87% while driving a MINI Cooper D (175/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
These were the only tires I could get 2 years ago when I first decided to go with snow tires and they have been AWESOME. They cost me £50 per corner back then and I have done a total of 15000 miles on them and they still have 5mm of tread left.
Some of the good feeling is probably because of the mini's excellent handling feedback, but as far as security and ability I rate them very highly. In actual snow they were loads of fun and there are many times when I have overtaken 4x4s going up hills. Also gave me the ability to have a clear run down the outside lane of the motorway when everyone else is stuck in the inside 2 lanes because they would wipe out in the snow.
They also gave my wife the confidence to go out in the snow.

Unfortunately I didn't get them fitted early enough this year and rolled the mini on black ice late November.
Have bought an Audi A3 tdi quattro and have read excellent things about Continental TS850s, so have bought 4 16inch steel wheels and 4 Contis from Tiremen.co.uk. this option was over £100 cheaper than buying less good rubber for the original 18inch alloys! Tiremen were very helpful and very competetive on price.
will report back on the new tires, but quattro and snow tires should be a hoot!
