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 40% while driving a Audi A3 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
I got these from a local garage as needed new tires and they refused to let car go with grips then.

Tires are worst I had on the Audi. Car often spins from standing start, roundabouts bends etc on dry as well slides. Got use to it but feel really unsafe. Do 40mile a day careful driving all the time. Other half drove my car who thought I was kidding and first bend at 10/15moh car slide on a 90deg turn of a normal driver!

Soon as I got some spare cash I'll be getting new proper tires on

Hi;

I'm selling lot of Zeetex brand tires in Florida. They are very good mid range tires. HP102 are high performance tires and have sold lot of these tires up till now. Honestly no complaints so far, instead got lot of appreciation from customers because they end up saving lot of money without compromising quality. You have to understand its not only tires but what pattern are you purchasing and what car you are putting it on. What condition your car is (shocks, axle, etc).Zeetex is very much comparable to Nexen, Kumho, basically midrange tires.

Given 17% while driving a Nissan (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
never buy this brand. One of the worst tires I had. Had them when i bought my car. Then changed to Hankook.There's a vast dofference. It made me realolize how cheap Zeetex are built.Never risk your life by saving $100-$150 on these cheap tires. If you want good tires for good value for money go for "Hankook" or "GT Radial".

Given 10% while driving a Subaru Forester (225/45 R17 W) on mostly town for 1,000 easy going miles
I paid €360.00 for a set of these tires new from local garage.I had never heard of the brand & was reluctant to purchase.The guy in garage told me they where an excellent budget tire & proceeded to show me he had them fitted to his car and they performed great in all conditions so I purchased them.What a BIG mistake that was.They have NO real cornering grip in any conditions wet or dry.After a couple days I rang garage & told them the tires had no grip.I was advised to give them 500mls to bed in??Well there's 1000 miles on them now & they are still useless!Minimal grip at low speed cornering in dry,No grip in wet,on corners & roundabouts the steering wheel turns but the car keeps going straight.On the motorway in dry conditions driving in straight line they felt ok,in any wet conditions not good at all.I wouldn't recommend these tires to anyone.Ive ordered a new set of tires for my car so I've learned the hard way.buy cheap buy twice.

Given 40% while driving a Ford Falcon BA XR8 Ute (245/45 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 8,000 average miles
Needed tires, was given these for free with 3500 kms on them. Cant argue with price (free). Comfort & feel average, neither good nor bad. Dry weather grip OK for cornering & braking, acceleration from standing start so-so, everything wet weather - the worst tire I've ever had on any car, bar none! Lets go without warning on corners, even driven VERY carefully, & wont grip at all accelerating or braking. The virtually bald Dunlop SP3000S they replaced were better in the wet. Now that I've can afford new tires I'll be replacing them ASAP!

On dry not bad, but when wet they're poor gently said. In comparison to Fed's SS595 they're loosing badly, both on dry and wet, specially on wet tarmac. I'm using 225/40/R18. Only good point they were cheap, but will not buy again*

Given 89% while driving a Peugeot partner van (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 3,000 average miles
I gotta say, Very happy so far with these tires. I have em on my van. The factory fitted tires were Continetals. Though from very early on they were useless. They never gripped well if I accelerated to quick on wet hill. Felt unsteady in general on wet roads when taking corners. Never liked them. had Vredestein t Trac tires. Didn't like em either and had bad grip on wet roads. I decided to reaqd reviews about tires before buying this time as I was buying 4 brand new. Seen a couple of positive reviews and couldn't argue with the price. Excellent grip on the road. Feel confident with them on wet roads. 3,000 miles so far. Intend to rotate them to prolong wear. can't comment yet but so far, I'm very pleased with them Read the Zeetex's are modeled on the Dunlop Sportmax tires. I don't buy the hype about the Big 6 tire manufacturers. They seem to be pretty neutral reviews for all the top tire brands. The price doesn't jusfify the reports or reviews. Zeetex's are economy tires and not low budget which I don't think I'll go that far. Solid tires. Road noise doesn't seem too bad but to be honest, my van is noisy anyway. Its not made to be refined anyways so I don't really notice.

Good tire. Were on the car when I bought it and are lasting well. Done over 20,000 miles and still have 2 - 3 mm tread left. A bit noisy at first but settled down once bedded in.
