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.

Excellent aquaplaning resistance and short wet braking, very good levels of comfort.
Long dry braking, soft and imprecise dry handling.
No obvious flaws and good balance of characteristics, excellent resistance to aquaplaning, the best result in a moose test.
None mentioned.

Latest Nokian Hakka Blue 2 Reviews

Volkswagen (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 12,500 average miles
Dry and especially wet handling is good. Recistance to aquaplaining is very good. Comfort was also good. Only complaints are price and wear.. Didn't last a single summer tire season in my taxi.

Given 85% while driving a BMW 325i (205/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 2,500 spirited miles
Excellent grip both in the dry and wet. Aquaplaning is hardly an issue even at highway speeds
