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.

Tires a little noisy. Good quality price choice. Wear equivalent to other brands.

I've bought these for my ford focus estate 1.6 tdci 3 years ago. I didnt know much back then and I wouldn't buy these tires again. The grip in wet is terrible, however it's pretty good in dry and it aquaplanes pretty good. I've done around 40k km on these and I'll probably use them for another 20 so the wear is good.

Latest Sportiva Compact Reviews

Given 43% while driving a Subaru 04 WRX (195/65 R15 T) on mostly country roads for 16,000 easy going miles
These came fitted to an Impreza 1.5R they are reasonably quiet and dry grip is acceptable, Gauging wet grip is hard as the car is AWD, they are down to the wear indicators already at less than 20k km. I wouldn't recommend these if you want more life from a tire.
As a positive they are quiet but with soft sidewalls they are a bit floaty.

Given 86% while driving a BMW 528i SE manual saloon (235/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 20,000 easy going miles
The review is about Sportiva SUPER Z+ for all those of you who wonder to buy them or not! Do it!.Awesome tire with a good price bought them for 50 euro each!The grip is far than good on dry and wet asphalt.Quiet tire.The only minus is the bord is abit weak and soft and if you drive on a road with holes you have to be more than carefull because they might get damaged.Overall i recomend them if you drive 15/20k km a year and change them every 3/4 years.
