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.

Latest Nankang SP5 Reviews

Vauxhall (215/55 R18 V) on mostly country roads for 0 easy going miles
I have just fitted two of these tires to the front of my Mokka SE 1.4 Turbo and the first thing I have noticed is how light the steering is and no road noise, time will tell if they are better than the stock conti's that the mokka came with but I did get 27000 miles with them. I will keep you posted.

Given 84% while driving a Nissan Qashqai (215/55 R18 V) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
Good tire so far. Performs as well as the Continentals fitted as OE but half the price. No hesitation in buying them again.
