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.

2022 Track Day Tire Test
235/35 R19 • 2022
2nd/6
Very precise steering behavior with a high level of lateral support, Wide, confidence-inspiring threshold range, neutral to slightly understeering balance, easily calculable load change reaction, strong traction.
Harder to control in the wet, longer braking distances in the dry, needs temperature to work.
The Porsche OE is a perfect match for the Hyundai test vehicle.
Compared to the PZ4, the comfort was significantly reduced and the steering is way heavier and quicker. The Pz4 good for a uhp tire but this is amazing!

The second fast lap was seriously impressive. Tires took longer to warm in, but once warm they were exceptional. The steering had amazing feel and turn in and I could adjust the line of the car way more freely. Most importantly corner exit was way faster thanks to improved traction. You could really drive the car instead of babysitting it.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. If the road tires were 7/10, these were 10/10.

Top 3 Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R Reviews

Given 91% while driving a Honda Civic Type R FK2 (235/40 R18) on track for 500 spirited miles
Amazing performance without falling to pieces when driven really hard on track.
April 15, 2022
Given 50% while driving a BMW M3 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 3,000 spirited miles
The dry performance of these tires are very good. I would say it is grippier than the cup 2.
However, when taking feedback and wet performance into account, it is more like a slick tire to me than a road tire for track use, only it last even shorter than a slick tire...........
May 9, 2018
Given 94% while driving a SEAT Leon Cupra 280 (235/35 R19 W) on track for 1,000 spirited miles
Best semi slick tire on track usage. The tire should be hot for optimum performance, thus on street it wears very fast. On track it is faster than Cup2 and way beyond faster than cheap semi slicks like Toyo Proxes R888 R.
