The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre 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 tyre 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 38% while driving a Suzuki Mehran 2014 (145/70 R12) on mostly country roads for 120 average miles
Salam
I changed my tyres on 26/7/25 and choose compasal tyres size 145/70/12 for my mehran car on shop keeper's advice.I feel on return from the shop that car is taking jumps more than before. drive is not comfortable. very little up & down on the road jolts the whole car. I called the shop keeper and explained the pain I felt. He said air pressure may be more in tyres, go and check it, I checked it twice from 2 different places it was 30 in all tyres, he also said for wheel balancing and wheel alignment, I also went for that but issue didn't resolve. I got very bad experience with these tyres and did not recommend it further.

Mercedes Benz (245/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
These were fitted to a Mercedes e350 esate on the front,they are extremely noisy so much so that I thought the wheel bearings were shot,had them checked and was told bearings ok tyres were the cause. they were fitted new prior to lockdown when I bought the car,so was hoping to replace them quickly.Had them on 2 years now,still plenty of tread after about 12000 miles,but am changing them.Keep clear.

Given 100% while driving a Mercedes Benz C300 (245/40 R17 W) on for 35,000 average miles
Bought these tires brand new for my Mercedes after my winter changeover. I was getting quoted 3x the price and although I understand there might be a slight difference between the brands I was quite happy with these. The quality is excellent at a fraction of the price. I use it as a daily driver and take the car and long road trips as well. So far I'm 56,000 km's into these tires and they seem to have another 20-30k which is what I got on my dunlop set (the previous set on this vehicle). I would say that if you are picky go with any major brand for the peace of mind but for every day use I found these to be excellent for regular use.

Latest Compasal Smacher Reviews

Given 46% while driving a Peugeot (215/55 R17 W) on mostly town for 3,000 average miles
Bought for a Peugeot 407sw, OK, not an exciting car to drive so figured cheap tyres were OK. To be fair under normal driving they are fine, they grip OK but if pushed feel like they run out of grip far to easily.
My real gripe with them is that they have worn out in 3200 miles. Yes, 3200.... Inner edge was bald with about 2mm left all over, very disappointed and would call it false economy. The car is a bit heavy on the front end and the hsi quite torquey but still terrible. Would not buy again due to the poor wear.

Given 43% while driving a MINI Cooper S (205/45 R17 R) on mostly motorways for 150 spirited miles
There's one thing that never ceases to amaze me with the great British public....how little thought and consideration they have when protecting their lives, and that of others.
The reason why I say this, is that every car I buy second-hand is, guaranteed EVERY time, fitted with cheap rubbish Hoo Flung Dung tyres, and windscreen smearers that used to wipe the rain away, many moons ago.
This weekend, I purchased a Mini Cooper S (the supercharged convertible), and guess what? Yep, crap Chinese tyres on every corner, including a pair of Smacher tyres up front, and something with a laughable name at the back, and yes, the customary windscreen smearers..Lets get this into perspective. A good pair of tyres (for example, Avon) for this car cost around £65 each, fitted. The Smachers are £46 each. Two good wiper blades (Bosch) will cost, at the very most, £10 each. One of these tyres will stop very well during Englands 6 month monsoon season...one will stop you eventually whilst you pray. The total cost between safety and surviving potential life-or-death situations and unwittingly becoming a crash test dummy is less than £100...for less than the cost of a months council tax, and yet people continue to fit these things, even on performance cars? Economy? When all that's between you and the road are thin circles of synthetic rubber? In conclusion, if you don't mind soft handling, louder than normal road noise, and far, far below par braking distances, by all eans buy some. Me? If I couldn't buy better, I'd get the bus.

Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
Given 35% while driving a Ford Fiesta Zetec S 123 (195/45 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 4,000 average miles
These tyres were fitted brand-new to the front of a Fiesta Zetec-S I bought last summer. The rear had the original Continentals with about 15000 miles wear. I have to say I'd never heard of the Compasals and had a sense of foreboding about them as I'd figured the dealer had just fitted the cheapest replacement possible.
Unfortunately I was right!
On my way back to base (150-odd miles) on a hot, dry July evening, the tyres seemed ok as they scrubbed in. Eventually I was on roads I knew backwards and decided to test the tyres...
I was now on B-roads and there is a particular Left-hand corner I know and love on both car and bike, but I digress...
I approached said corner, changing down in preparation for what was to come, took a deep breath, pitched it in and floored it. Annnnd. SsssssKerrrrccchhhhh as the car moved swiftly towards the offside of the corner.
'Hmmm', I thought absently as I juggled the wheel, 'that doesn't usually happen.'
Still, it was provoked.
Several months later it is now cold and wet. If provoked at all, it is slither time.
Two days ago (with warm tyres - 50 miles into a trip) I accelerated hard away from a junction. Except when I dropped the clutch the car jumped about 6" sideways instead of moving forwards in an orderly manner.
That was the last straw. A replacement pair has been ordered despite the total wear of about 4000 miles on the Smachers. How much does even the slightest accident cost these days?
The fairest way to describe these tyres is to say they resemble the Japanese tyres of the 70's. Nice'n'shiny and plastiky - but I'm sure they'd last ever such a long time if you drive in straight lines in Arizona.
