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 70% while driving a Fiat Panda (195/45 R15 V) on mostly town for 500 spirited miles
Apart from my review (only 500 miles driven), there seems to be a mix up with the BF Goodrich car summer tyres. There is only one g-Force Profiler tyre in the EU market(not a g-Force Profiler and a g-Force Profiler 2 - they are one and the same). There used to be a BF Goodrich Profiler (without g-Force) in the past, which was replaced by the BF Goodrich Profiler 2 (again without g-Force), which recently was replaced by the BF Goodrich g-Grip existing today. In conclusion, there are only two BF Goodrich high performance summer tyres, the g-Force Profiler (for rim sizes 15-20 and profiles mostly 50-35) and the g-Grip (for rim sizes 13-17 and profiles mostly 70-55).

Fitted these tyres in a bit of a rush at the start of the year but have been pleasantly supprised at how good they are for the price ! Compaired to the Bridgestone RE050A's I've been using they have a little more wet grip even if they are a little less progressive at the limit and this wet grip is available at lower temperatures too than the Bridgestone!Ride is much improved and feel very similar ! Don't know about wear yet but I'm expecting good things after reading the other reviews !

Given 93% while driving a Fiat Grande Punto TJet (205/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Had these tyres on the front of my car for six months now and have driven them in all conditions bar snow ! They are a proper road tyre exellent in wet or dry , hot or cold !Lot of grip ! Not one of those sports tyres that needs heating up to give maximum performance ! Have seen no signs of ware yet too unlike my previous Bridgestone's which wore on the edges ! Brought these for a bargain price of £53.00 each too !

Given 86% while driving a Honda Civic Type S (225/45 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 24,000 spirited miles
Good Tyre, reasonably priced. Good drive on both wet and dry surface.
just replaced after 24000, driven mostly on rural roads.
Only down side, hopeless in heavy snow, no traction as proven in winters of 2009 and 2010.

Given 40% while driving a Ford Mondeo ST220 (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 650 average miles
The BF Goorich g Force Profiler is a typical low to mid cost tyre, with lots of noise on wet tarmac, also when wet slippy pulling away from junctions, with a mostly crashy ride on all but the smoothest of road surfaces. This particular tyre had a tendency to make my car oversteer on right hand exits from roundabouts and would not have been my choice of purchase as putting over 220 BHP through cheap tyres is ludicrous, i purchased my car with these tyres fitted and had them replaced as soon as funds permitted (Dunlop SP Sport Maxx XL) review to follow.

Excellent tires. The tires are super. I am very happy. They have super long life and have excellent grip and handling
