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.

Given 78% while driving a Hyundai Santa Fe (225/70 R16) on mostly town for 10,000 easy going miles
Installed on my Santa Fe as summer tires. Very quiet, decently comfy and very good on tarmac. Didn't push them but they are very good at 130-140 km/h. Didn't seem to lose much tread, definatelly would recommend for buy again. I had the X Privilo H/T model, which falls under TX3 I guess?

Given 70% while driving a Toyota 2011 Corolla Altis (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
I have driven mine for almost 10000 kms they are surprisingly comfortable and provide adequate grip on dry roads not really tested hard on wet though the wear seems to be goo overall a good tire an excellent one for the budget

Given 93% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range (255/45 R19) on mostly motorways for 1,000 spirited miles
Fitted to Tesla Model Y as I had a blowout of the original Hankook S1 Evo3 tire.

Whilst these are not sound absorbing tires, they are quieter than the sound absorbers.

An excellent feel in wet or dry & at £95 fitted, are a great replacement.

Given 68% while driving a BMW X5 (285/45 R19) on mostly country roads for 0 miles
Have 285 on rear of X5 255 on front. I am getting a shudder when accelerating. Was to bmw and thought maybe transfer case then egr valve. All testing fine. They are now saying tires sending wrong info to transfer case and if I change tires this will be sorted. Time will tell.

Given 81% while driving a Mazda 6 (225/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 17,000 average miles
I have driven 17,000 miles on these tires in the last year and found them to be pretty good and came what looked like new on my car. I never measured the tread depth on purchase but are now down to 2mm so looking to replace in next few weeks now. I primarily use on the motorway run of 125 miles and then mix of dual carriageways, a small amount of urban driving in between. I have driven briskly in both the wet and dry around corners at legal speeds and not felt any slippage at all which surprised me these being budget brand tires , Maybe its the dynamics of my car as known to be well setup as not had anything else to compare it with as yet. One thing that is positive reading other reviews in here is that they are reasonably well lasting as would not be at all happy if only lasting 6,000 miles

Given 77% while driving a Volkswagen Scirocco 1,4 TSI 160hp (235/35 R19) on mostly town for 1 average miles
Relatively comfort tire giving enough feedback. Good in wet conditions , better on dry surface and at the same time it is not noisy. I would buy it again. Very good value for money factor.

Given 53% while driving a Citroën berlingo (185/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Had these for less than a year and the front tires are completely worn on the edges, tires are definitely inflated to the correct pressure but they just seem to wear as soon as you do any spirited driving, in a straight line they're fine in the wet but can suddenly let go in faster turns

Given 49% while driving a Mercedes Benz A (235/40 R19) on a combination of roads for 9,320 miles
This tire in dry goes very well, yes it is true that the sidewall is a bit soft so if you go fast they flank but nothing to bother about, the problem is in the wet it hardly grabs anything if you go a little fast, if you go at legal speed no problem on the road, the issue of the wet road is why I would not buy them again and especially the wear and tear that is the tire that has lasted the least of all the ones I have used.

Tire last longer on fronts

Was very weary about fitting these, but hard times forced cheap tire. Found these tires been very quiet, they have been great, wet grip found great at moment , when pulling away, and have found great at stopping to. Handles well giving xf some stick to

Given 69% while driving a BMW X3 35d (255/40 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles
I've had these on the back of my BMW X3 35d. Not done sufficient mileage to really classify the wear. 4k so far and they look to be wearing equally across the tread. No issues with handling or grip although wet mileage has been very low as I live in Murcia Spain.
