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.

Hi there Is these tires suitable for Tesla 3 long range size 235/45/R18 XL. Thanks Phil

If you can find the correct load rating the tire will be suitable, but this is a budget tire so you might find the wet grip very low or higher energy use than you're used to.

Given 83% while driving a Hyundai Genesis Coupe V6 (245/45 R18) on mostly town for 2,500 spirited miles
super cost effective....NOT a true performance tire ( buy Blizzak for this) sidewalls are very weak relative to the RE050's normally on my whip. but I WANTED grip , road hold, NOT winter rally rubber.
100% happy with them.Only 1 winter, and expect 2 more good winter s from them...not much wear

Given 87% while driving a Tesla (245/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
It's 2021/22 on the west coast and these tires are on my Tesla Model 3 (rear wheel drive) and performing well in wet and dry. There has been no evidence of hydro-planing. Have had three dynamic balancing jobs done to the wheels (by two different professional jobbers within a 72 hour time span and they still hint at being slightly out-of-balance at speeds 102 - 105 kph. Not convinced that the present-day tread pattern will be effective in snow but that remains to be seen and felt.

Given 58% while driving a SEAT Cupra 300 (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Good tires for a winter option on a budget. Not high performance by any stretch of the imagination.
I wouldn't trust these for track use, but very good in the ice and snow!
Without snow, they're not really worth it however.
