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.

Rotella RF109, All 4 delaminated, one smashed my electric mirror on my @002 Iveco Daily. I bought the car with these tires fitted. Most unimpressed.

Absolute death trap in the wet. These things should be banned. The rear of my car swapped ends on me in the wet going around a corner at dead set half the speed I could do on a decent tire. Holy F they are horrible.

I have only had these rotalla tires for about a month they are superb hold the road wet or dry they corner well and anchor up well they are on the front of my Hyundai Tuscon 17 plate.
Cant fault them, I was slightly concerned about fitting them but my friend has done over 9,000 miles on a set and is very happy.
All these reviews that slate Rotalla tires perhaps need to take their drving tests again.!!!

One of the Rotalla transporter tires on my motorhome delaminated on the m40 at 55mph. Causing mayhem as the disintegrating tire tore off wheel arches and sill sections. Major road safety concerns!!!

Driven for 10k miles on these, not the worst tires in the world about the same accellera tires. The only other tires I've had on a car worse has been Autogrip p308s. Changed to Vredestein ultrac vorti and the difference is night and day no more understeer when cornering!

Given 38% while driving a Ford fiesta st (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Did you want a tire which is exciting, this is the tire to go for, roundabouts become oversteer central in the wet even on a front wheel drive car. Great if you want to look like a knob driving round every roundabout in the wet, with the back of the car slowly trying to overtake you.
If you re tying to master lift off oversteer they are an excellent tire to turn to, guaranteed sideways action in the slightest of damp conditions. Came on a car whenever purchased.

dont much from them at all. Similar to other reports the wet performance is sketchy at best. Had them on my car for quite some time the wear isn't too bad. Dry grip is OK at most

Crappy tires ever specially on rear wheel drive.. Car slipped really bad in rain while taking turn on corner ... Not recommended at all .. Had to replace them straight away..

These tires are worse than the bald Bridgstone I had previously on it.
Brand new, noisy, crap handling.

Overall you get what you pay for. On my car they did alright at best, but I have a feeling it was more the car helping the tires out. Wouldn't want to know what they are like on other cars. Don't really feel that confident throwing the car into corners at high speed, they wear terribly if even slightly out of alignment. Luckily they've worn out so a good excuse to get new tires!

These tires came on my car (RWD Coupe) when I bought it (2nd hand) with about 80% of the tread left. Grip in the dry is ok. The car feels a little noisy and numb but good enough for the price. Grip in the wet (or anything other than totally dry) is appalling. I mean really bad. 45MPH accelerating on a STRAIGHT road at 2/3 throttle where the road was damp (no standing water, not raining) and these things lost grip and started sliding. Tried the same procedure again to make sure it wasn't just oil or something. Nope, the tires are pure garbage in the damp. Roundabouts become scary confidence is lost. In a RWD car I'd say these aren't safe and will certainly kill youir driving enjoyment. maybe ther are better on a FWD car but I'd still be weary. Changed to Bridgestones and I feel safe again. DO NOT BUY. NOT WORTH IT.

Bought the same tires like these just TRACMAX F105 for my BMW E30 320is, read about these tires like they are crap, rhey are bad, they are crap... I put them on my car at the back, before then I have KUMHO tires and they have lot of grip at dry and wet, wuth these tracmax f105 tires i have lot of grip too maybe even more grip on dry than kumho tires. Rhey are very soft tires and good for summer, in corners they are pretty good and they didn't let my car to do power slide cos they have good gryp. At dry. When I go to corner, before i do poweralide, now i go to same corner and now i lose traction in front where are kumho tires but at the back i didn't lose traction. I don't play with car, I drive normally when is raining and these tyers are good for me. I paid 45€/each and for that kind of money you can only buy used brand tires whos 5-6 years old with 4-5mm... These comes with 8mm and year of production 2015, brand new tracmax f105, for me these tires are good even if my car is rear wheel drive with no eletronic and with LSD diff and still tires are good and have lot of traction. Good value for money...
