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.

Horribly loud, like old mud tires, brutal in snow…these are best not on the market

Given 24% while driving a Audi 80 B4 (205/55 R16) on mostly town for 700 easy going miles
Went to local tyre depot I was recommended these less than a,week later it rained the car was worse than driving on Ice aking it impossible to safely pull out of side roads Damp conditions I went back to tyre depot assuming tyres were faulty they claimed they weren't! They have zero grip in wet and extremely poor grip in dry they are by far the most Dangerous tyres I've ever Driven on I soon bought 4 new Japanese tyres the car does now break traction in the wet even under extremely hard acceleration

Found them to have excellent grip on the wet and dry. Felt confident driving at speed when overtaking.

Given 66% while driving a Proton Impian 1.6 (215/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 55,000 average miles
The tyres are perfectly average. Ok dry grip and feedback when its hot out, but lets go without warning when the weather is colder and when making evasive maneuvers. Quite noisy at highway speeds, but I got what I paid for. However quite sketchy in the wet, felt like it could understeer anytime. It skidded when braking several times, but my car doesn't have ABS so not their fault really. But the feedback doesn't transfer well in wet, unlike the Coopers or Continentals I've had in the past, where I could feel the tyre gripping or letting go, and could modulate the braking force accordingly. All in all, ok tyres just be extra careful and use common sense when it is wet out. No amount of compound engineering could save a car hydroplanning at 100mph

Given 78% while driving a Ford Mustang gt (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 1,000 spirited miles
I was hoping to find something cheap enough to burn off if the mood took me in the Mustang. Considering I had Pirelli Zero Neros and Cooper CS3s on before (which happily attacked my bank balance to buy) these things grip shockingly well in comparison. I have not yet found the limit of grip on a corner and I have to really work to break the tires loose getting going. 105$ a tire???? That's nearly HALF what Costco's cheapest option was. Considering how cheap they are I also measured very acceptable road force measurements upon mounting and balancing. Ive installed Bridgestone's did far worse I will be buying these again if they're available when I go for tires next.

Holden (245/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 10,000 average miles
Worse rain grip than a semislick actually ridiculous. Took well over 3 car lengths to stop in the wet going 60kmph and causes traction control to activate when taking off even at a crawl on an incline.

Given 59% while driving a Subaru Forester (235/55 R17) on mostly town for 32,000 average miles
Bought the tyres by recommendation of a friend. Tyres did well considering the price. Noticeably understeers, quite long dry braking and wet braking when stopping from over 100kmph, handles and drives exceptionally well under 80kmph. Quite and comfortable provided that has soft side walls. Seen temperatures between 18C and 35C, Rain and hot sun, Never seen snow. Aquaplanes when low tread (depends on road, usually smooth roads over 80kmph) Tyres lasted for 4 years of daily driving. Developed deep cracks on all four tyres after 75% of life. Overall- good tyres for a grocery getter or for daily commute, to and from work for a calm driver. Absolutely stay away from harsh driving over 80 kmph.

Given 39% while driving a Audi A3 (225/45 R17 W) on mostly motorways for 25,000 average miles
The worst tyre I ever had dry and wet grip awaful car constantly slips on corners and a lot of esp activation when accelerating or cornering and I've got only 110hp audi. Wouldn't recommend to anyone with more than 25hp car as car slides even at 25mph when drizzle and going through roundabout! Don't buy it it unless you don't care about safety and you just want cheap and long lasting tyre because they are vary cheap and now I've done more than 25k and still looks like new!

Given 96% while driving a Honda Civic FD1 1.8 i Vtec (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
had them for almost 20000km now, those tire are still like new. They are very quiet and respond very well when stopping

Given 87% while driving a Dodge Charger SE 300hp. (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 easy going miles
Bought them couple of week before, for the price those tires are unbelievable. They perform so well in wet and dry. Being in Canada and how fast the weather change, those tires are treating me good so far. Highly recommend them

Given 32% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan Sport 2.0 TDI 140hp (235/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 8,000 average miles
Horrible tyres. Wheel spin in wet. No grip on snow. Slid at 5mph. Should be banned in winter. Do not use. Dangerous. The difference when I changed tyres to premium brand all season tyres was night and day difference. Do not buy these. Truly the worst tyres ever in 30ish years driving.

Given 91% while driving a Skoda Octavia estate (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 20 average miles
A few years ago, money was tight. I told the dealer I needed 4 cheap but safe tyres. As they were a main Winda dealer, they recommended Winda and I got a great deal. The tyres have lasted well and I had no issues as I did as the dealer told, to drive at legal speeds on each road and use my brain in wet Irish weather.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Fairmont ghia (235/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
I am in Australia and have found these tyres to be very good in all respects for the price.
They were fitted new just prior to to me buying the car and would not have been my choice, mainly because I have never heard of them before, but have found no reason to replace them.
If your driving in snow you should always fit chains to any tyre, yes would do get snow here, so would not expect any tyre to perform well without them.
Plan to keep them till they start to misbehave, only time will tell, so far no problem with them, fuel consumption also good.
Showing hardly any signs of wear after 8000 kilometres.
