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 84% while driving a (225/45 R17) on for 0 miles
Used on c-class and 3 series. Excellent all round tyres with no issues. Both dry and wet grip up there with the best with aggressive driving. No issues wth wear as i ensure my cars alignment are spot on when fitting new tyres and pressures check regularly

Given 94% while driving a Ford Fiesta ST (195/45 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 6,000 average miles
These tyres are some of the best I've ever experienced they are quiet on the road and very comfortable the dry grip and wet grip are both excellent and they let you know when your pushing too hard I'll definately buy them again I've not done many miles only 6000 but thy still look brand new with no signs of wear.

Dry: Not a performer at all, but i loved that the are very progressive and predictable. But not enough grip to my driving.
Wet: Can say the same as for dry

Given 34% while driving a Mercedes Benz SL500 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 30,000 average miles
I had this tyre on my SL500 and while they looked pretty they gradually wore badly and pulled to the left. No amount of alignment resolved it.
The tread was fine over most of the tyre by small areas near the inside edge were stripped to the canvas.
They were quite noisy even on smooth new motorway.
I am much happier running the Eagle F1 Asymetric 2 now.

i put the on a mini!!its not the ideal tire to put i am more of a semi slick tire guy. the car was uncontrollable i am satisfied with grid in the wet and the tire wear. to get an idea how much aggressive i used them i manage to pill of hole pieces.

Given 83% while driving a Alfa Romeo 156 JTD (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
The best tire I ever had for wet road!!! It almost grips better on wet than on dry! I was driving at 150 Km/h on very heavy rain and the road had 1-2 cm of water an no aquaplaning at all. They front tires have some wear, but is because of the bad geometry of the vehicle. Not noisy and very good value for money. Had Michelin and Dunlop before, but didn't worth the money. A little disapointed from the feedback cause it turns the steering wheel at every bump or road abnormality, but it is not very disturbing.

Given 51% while driving a Alfa Romeo 156 JTD (215/45 R17 V) on mostly country roads for 6,000 spirited miles
Front's down to 2.5mm in 6K!!, rear's still have 5mm may be down to car/driving/roads than tyres, however I managed 15k out of a set of Khumo KU31's and 10k on a set of cheap wanli's. grip is good dry or wet but average in the snow ( again more the fault of 17" wheels and sport suspension than the tyres) So what next do I go for premium tyres and hope for better wear or just stick some cheap Chinese one's on, and change at 10k?

Given 79% while driving a Alfa Romeo 156 JTD (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
Amazing grip on wet road at high speeds. Doing 140 Km/h on heavy rain conditions without any problem! Wet breaking very good as well. Good dry road driving as well.

Given 73% while driving a SEAT Leon Cupra Tdi (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Prior to these I had always used Pirelli's and initially the difference was quite a shock, the ride was far better but grip much reduced, and the feedback through the steering was that of quidgyness and general imprecion. The pluses are good noise levels and slow wear, but if you enjoying outright grip then look elsewhere!
