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.

Given 90% while driving a Renault 5 (145/70 R13 T) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Went from Sava Effecta+ to this tire. Amazing difference. This tires shoot water abou 1,5-2m tall on wet road and grip it and don't let go. Not as good on dry as I was expecting, but just slightly. Excelent tire non the less. It is a bit expensive, but it is well worth it. I never felt aquaplaning ever since I got this tires and I am very happy.

Given 100% while driving a Citroën C1 (155/65 R14 T) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
Can't fault these tires! I also have a Focus Mk2 so have gone from Uniroyal Rainsport 2 on that car to Michelin Energy Saver + - I'm that impressed! Especially due to the small tires/contact with the road they are great. The wife, who is cautious due to having a car write-off incident following a 360 slide in a car drives with the utmost confidence in this car with these tires!!
They were also fine in the recent snow (6 mm tread).
