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.

Top 3 Goodride SA07 Reviews

Given 63% while driving a Skoda Octavia vRS (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 16,000 average miles
Had these tyres fitted when I bought the car. Garage did me a favour, they said. Well, if you like to slide around then go for it. I know I have a torquey front wheel drive with no slip diff, so any tyre will suffer and scream at what they are asked to do. However, having to control the 4 wheel slide at roundabouts in the wet is a skill I would rather not have. In the dry, no real complaints. Traction control will kick in early when floored. At last they are now worn to the limit, with a reasonable wear. approx 16k miles. Would not buy again though. The car needs sticky rubber so going to spend the money and go premium. Sorry Goodride, but sadly you aint.

Given 40% while driving a Peugeot 308 SW 2.0 HDI Sport (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
There tyres were brand new on front when vehicle purchased in Oct 2016. Get wheel spin in dry even in 3rd gear on acceleration & I can feel every bit of road type surface, rut, imperfection, ripple etc. Only time they are alright is on smooth tarmac. They are wearing pretty well which probably denotes a hard compound. Drive on M42 80 miles round commute each day & I'll be glad when need replacing. Had 307SW previous running Kumho ku39 which where great, so may use on this 308SW or try some Uniroyals.

Given 79% while driving a Subaru Legacy 2.0GT Spec B (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Cant fault these tires to be honest! Chucked a new set on my AWD Subaru Legacy GT Spec B here in New Zealand after doing a lot of research, they handle like a dream!! Price is also excellent, this may be a budget economy brand tyre from China but they got this one right!

Driven like a bat out of hell in both dry and average wet conditions and still held up nice, only peev - but thats only because I am me is that you get a little bit of rolling road noise if you driving on highway with really smooth tarseal, but thats only because I am used to the quietness of Bridgestone Potenza RE002's.

With that being said though, my car is an AWD so AWD+GOODRIDE SA07 = Awesomeness! I dont know they would do in a FWD or RWD car though....

FYI though - do not buy the lower spec Goodride SV308's as they are crap for spirited driving!

Given 44% while driving a Ford ba falcon (245/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 0 easy going miles
These tyres are absolute rubbish, I have had nothing but vibration at highway speeds for the last 11000km, the tyre shop rebalanced several times stating the vibration was coming from different things. After having new brakes, shocks, tail shaft balanced, diff checked. Everything pointed to these crap tyres. Don't waste your money and save your frustration.
