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 Bridgestone Battlax SC Reviews

Given 80% while driving a Yamaha Xmax 300 (145/70 R14) on mostly country roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Dry grip and feel are much better than the Michelin City Grip. Those were terrible wooden feeling tyres.
The Battlax are nice tyres but the rears only last about 3000 miles on the Xmax 300. I’ve had one last 2600 actually which is less than a summer of ridding. Pretty annoying. I wish they would last about 4000 so I could just get one a year.

Given 96% while driving a Yamaha Yamaha Tricity 300 (120/70 R14) on mostly country roads for 7,000 average miles
Excelent scooter tires.

Given 79% while driving a Yamaha Xmax 300 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Coming from stock dunlop scootsmart to Battlax SC is totally different experience. The scooter runs way smoother over the pavements. but the grip is where everything is totally different. its just insane how i can lean my scooter easily without any chatter or losing grip. it just sticks. been user of battlax for so long, i no longer think about any other tyres for my scooter when i need to replace my tyres. Unfortunately it seems the rear tyres will go in no time. Typical battlax : everything is good except the price and its lifetime.
