Tables are ranked by TR Score, which rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and owner reviews weighted by how much evidence backs them. Unscored tires link to their pages, where a review counts towards a score.
One brand, different jobs: the Minerva that lead in each condition, from the per-condition TR scores.
Rated across 4 tires in the range:
Condition scores run 0-100 within each condition, built from the same test results and owner reviews as the overall TR Score.
10 of the 14 tires on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tire's best available size figures.
3 tires reach EU wet grip class B. The highest scoring:
The most fuel efficient choice: 9 tires reach rolling resistance class C. The highest scoring:
The quietest tires in the range are labelled from 69 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.
Across 57 owner reviews and 635,271 miles of driving, Minerva tires average 58% overall. The scores below show where owners rate the brand strongest.
Question averages are weighted by review count across every tire of the brand. Snow and ice scores come only from the drivers of the brand's winter-capable tires.
Totally decent tires for the price. I drive a fwd car so it’s important to switch between front & back each season. But ofc the tires in the front wear out first. I'd say that if you have a fwd car you can use these.
A lot of people are skeptical of chinese tires, but let me tell you that I've seen tires like these get a hard beating on bad roads in third world countries and still last for a long time.
After a sudden emergency brake I had to do, i could definitely feel that these tires lack dry grip. So at this point I decided to replace them, even though they were basically brand new. Went for a set of GoodYear Eagle F1's and never looked back.

The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them.
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
