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.

Latest Barum Bravuris 6 Reviews

Given 78% while driving a Lancia DELTA 1.9 TwinTurbo 230hp (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
When buying new tires, I hesitated between Sava Intensa UHP2 and Barum Bravuris 6, but since I was already using Sava tires, I wanted to try something new. I have to admit that I had mixed feelings at the beginning, I was disappointed by how unpredictable the tires were at higher speeds on the highway (130-150 km/h), as if I had the feeling that I was driving on ice in gusts, a very unpleasant feeling of insecurity, but that's why the comfort was at at the highest level and if my previous tire dimensions were higher (235/40r18), the comfort was incomparably better even with the NEXEN N FERA tires (225/40r18) that I had before SAVA.Driving in the wet is satisfying from the start.For reasons that I will now state, I did not want to post a comment immediately after the first impressions. I have currently driven about 2000 km with the mentioned tires and the feeling is completely different and enthusiastic. In the meantime, the feeling of insecurity at higher speeds and the car is much more stable in curves, especially when the car is heavier and I think that the tire is good for heavier vehicles over 1500 kg. The feeling of comfort remained the same and for that reason I would take it again. The tire is definitely good for the money, but you need to be patient and wait for it to wear out a bit so that the performance will be much better. My recommendation for heavier vehicles and for cars that use low-profile tires because the comfort is at a high level compared to NEXEN and Sava tires, which to my taste were too hard.

I have been used Barum Bravuris 5HM which was pretty solid tyre for my needs and now theres new model 6HM. Im very dissapointed with tyre performance especially when cornering. Tyre loose grip very easy. I have never driven tyre with this poor handling before. I guess its something about EV ready tyre, evey ECO tyre is bad for handling.
