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 Maxtrek SU830 Reviews

Given 26% while driving a Toyota hilux (215/60 R16) on mostly town for 0 average miles
These tires came on a set of alloy wheels I wanted for my Workmate -Straight away I got an uneasy feeling going into a corner 60klms so not fast & I could feel the rear start to crab. These tires are just plain dangerous even on dry roads -In the wet ,I had to slow so much it was embarrassing otherwise I felt the vehicle would loose control .Any sort of cornering is terrifying DO NOT under any circumstances buy these tires .I have had over 40 years of driving on all sorts of rural & highway situations & have never had a more frightening experience like these tires have given me

Given 29% while driving a Holden Crewman Cross 8 (225/45 R17) on for 0 miles
cracked and weather worn in 36 mths? made of nylon and polyester? absolute bad handling whether wet, dry or indifferent, have no ''wear'' to speak of but are giving way in the ''steel'' belt. DEFINATELY DO NOT TAKE ANY PASSENGERS, IF YOU WANT TO RISK YOUR OWN LIFE THAT'S DIFFERENT...

Given 24% while driving a Mazda 626 (225/80 R19 H) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
Dangerous on wet roads. Wheel slip on our Mazda 626 front wheel drive car

We need to drive slowly and use our other car if it rains. Don't buy, we need to replace them even though they are not worn out. Bad idea, was not helped by the tire retailer.

Given 36% while driving a Ford Mondeo (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
Never again.
I had those fitted on car when I have bought it.

Not bad on dry road, but grip goes down when wet and temp. is around 10 C.
1/2 of thread is gone and I have to change due to rain.
