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 Goodyear Eagle RS A Reviews

Given 42% while driving a Honda Civic 1.8 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Not a terrible option if you're looking for essentially a summer tire. These claim to be all seasons but the snow and ice grip are awful. You constantly are loosing the front end and suffering from under-steer under the littlest of throttle input in the snow. Even when just coasting, when on snow these do not feel planted and feel vague. I have even lost traction in the wet when it was room temperature outside numerous times. My stock Honda civic shouldn't be able to accidentally peel out for a continuous 3 seconds straight just from a 1/2" puddle of water. The dry traction is solid, nothing to write home about but its one of the few decent things with these tires. Good handling and feedback too, average comfort.

To summarize:
Pros: Good handling and feedback, good return to center with the steering wheel. Good dry grip.
Neutral: Average comfort and noise, nothing really noteworthy in those departments. Decent wear as well.
Cons: Awful Snow and ice traction, not up to par with new England winters. Bad wet traction too.

Would I recommend these?: Only under one condition, you've got a good deal on these and live in let's say Arizona or any other hot, dry climate where rain and snow are very very uncommon. If you're paying say $650+ for a set of these, you likely have much better options for that price and should just get real summer tires that preform well. If you live in New England like I do, I would highly recommend almost any 3pmss all weather tire over these. Do not buy these if you have a lot of snow and plan on using thee during the winter. I was happy to finally get rid of these when I did.

Given 61% while driving a Ford crown vic p71 interceptor (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 50 spirited miles
Dry grip was great. Out of every complaint I’ve ever heard about RSA’s, it was never “they don’t do well under good conditions”. The wet grip is not bad either, although perpendicular movements tend to break out the tire in heavy rain, though I would think that is expected. Tire wear was fantastic, I’ve hit and jumped my fair share of curbs, potholes, ruts, exposed railroad tracks, and even a sinkhole in the road, and there were no missing chunks or odd wear or tear. In comparison to a Reliant set I had on the back, which was chewed up in about a year, the RSA’s have done fantastically.

Given 80% while driving a MINI Clubman (195/60 R15) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
They're not ultra-high performance tires, don't fool yourself, but since these tires are 20mm wider than stock, the pressure being run is lower and they are just a joy. I'll quickly admit that they aren't great at carving corners in the wet, but I've also been able to drive at highway speed while the rain was pouring in sheets with very high confidence. For a car as light as a mini, this is plenty of grip for hard cornering, even on mostly stock suspension. For the price, these are probably about as good as you can ask for. I doubt they'll be the greatest tires in the snow, but neither is a fwd mini cooper. I'll drive my Volvo v60 Polestar with awd if I need to go out in the snow, and that's a perfectly acceptable compromise. For any car that is to be driven quickly but that isn't itself a sporty car, these are a great option that won't break the bank.

Couldn't find any worse than those tyres, esp. in wet conditions it slips , rolls , don't grip at a decent way
I didn't buy again , instead i got myself Hankook optimo almost same price but much much better in all ways esp. handling and comfort.

Grip in dry weather is ok,but in wet weather i would sooner walk.the compound
