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 Blizzak LM25 Reviews

BMW (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
Came standard as "winter wheels" package for my E89 Z4. Used them Nov-April, 2011-2018 and sold them together with my car. They still had 5-6 mm thread of them! They were really good, a little noisy, but I guess I didn't "wear them down" properly (saw tooth wear). Good grip, either on dry, wet snow...not much on ice, but which "unstudded" tire has that.

Given 86% while driving a Honda Prelude 2.2vtec (205/50 R16 H) on mostly country roads for 50 spirited miles
Had these on a honda prelude 2.2 VTI 1997 185hk and was very satisfied. They really had a sporty feeling in dry and was good in a blizzard with 30cm snow on the road.
they took me thru 10 winters in sweden. (along with it´s predecessor bridgestone LM22)

Given 71% while driving a BMW E46 Compact 2004. (225/45 R17 H) on a combination of roads for 4,000 easy going miles
Great in the snow even up to 12" deep and driving in the melting slush was easy enough but braking on ice not as good as hoped.

Been using these in the snow this week. 100 percent better than the summer tyres I was struggling with last winter.

Given 80% while driving a BMW Z4 (225/45 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
I have used these tyres on two high-powered RWD sports cars: a lexus IS350 (312 hp) and my new BMW Z4 sDrive35i (officially 306 hp but close to 330), the first with "regular" 18 inch tyres, the second with run-flat 17 inch.

Those tyres are very well suited to sports cars and sedans/saloons. They provide decent snow traction (as much as one can expect with a powerful rear wheel drive car!) but just as importantly very good dry and rain traction and handling in cold weather. Let's face it, it doesn't snow every day unless you live near the artic circle! So dry traction is very important.

Also critical is how the car feels, and the LM25 preserve the sporty feeling and handling of the car, albeit with lower grip limits as one can expect. Very stable at high speed (up to 120 mph/200 kph in my experience)

I highly recommend those tyres to anyone wanting to enjoy his or her sports car of sedan/saloon below 40 F/5 C.
