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.

6th/9
Great snow grip, good comfort levels, low cost per mile, good rolling resistance.
Reduced grip in the dry and wet, very long dry braking distances, low grip on ice, poor tread pattern noise.
The Firestone WeatherGrip has a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty and a low purchase price making it one of the best value tyres of the test, a it also has excellent grip in the snow. Sadly it's dry, wet or ice grip could not match the snow performance, leaving the tyre with very long dry and wet braking distances.

Given 64% while driving a Buick Lesabre (205/70 R15) on mostly motorways for 11,000 average miles
Great tire when it had rubber only drove 11,000 miles before my front tires got below 2/32 of tread I admit I didn't rotate them at 7,000 but still 11,000 and only 5 months of use is terrible. If you go to there website you will see similar reviews

Given 71% while driving a Honda Accord (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
These tires are on a 1999 Honda Accord, they provide excellent traction for the car in Milwaukee weather for all seasons. The tires feel very confident for both city and highway driving even in the rain. Loss of traction in snow only happens if it's on purpose as you can easily feel the tire's limits. The downside is that the tires are quite noisy, on an older vehicle at least. Interior noise was very noticeable. Dry performance for the car is good, there are better options but given the price and the all season performance, these are great tires. Optimal tires for a beater as they are affordable and perform well for their price range at the cost of comfort. Just crank up the tunes on the highway and that issue is resolved.

Given 52% while driving a Subaru Forester 2.5i (225/60 R17) on a combination of roads for 0 easy going miles
2015 Subaru Forester Louder than the previous Gen ArticMax RT43 Bought for possible snow which didn’t occur ** worn to 1-2 mm in just (gauged) in just 37xxx miles which is 57% of the posted expectation These tires were not abused. Only consider WeatherGrip if you expect snow. Otherwise, stay away. PS the Firestone Auto did make a 10% allowance on a new purchase. Unfortunately, I lost more than that on a weak set of tires.

Given 84% while driving a Jeep Cherokee Limited 2015 (225/60 R18) on a combination of roads for 40,000 easy going miles
I love these tires. I live on the front range of Colorado so I think these are perfect for the location. These tires act the most like a snow tire, that you can drive all year round. They are also very comfortable which is great for the bad roads here. They do wear a little fast (I get new ones after about 40,000 miles, though I'm sure you could push them to 50,000) and they aren't the best in the wet (which isn't a problem where I live), but they are good enough for sure. These are the only tires I have purchased again once they wore out, so I think they are great for what I need.
