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.

The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent Enlighten is the tyre for the driver who spends the vast majority of their time on tarmac and needs mild off-road capability without sacrificing on-road refinement. Its comfort and noise levels are the best of the three by a clear margin, and the Tire Rack data suggests strong wet and snow grip - particularly in the standard-load variant. The softer steering and reduced body control are the price of that comfort, but for the average truck or SUV owner covering 90% of their miles on paved roads, those trade-offs are unlikely to matter. This is a tyre that will appeal to a very broad audience.

Latest Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent Reviews

Given 91% while driving a Ford Expedition (275/65 R18) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
I replaced a set of highway tires with these Bridgestone Dueler AT for a cross country trip to spend time camping and fishing the Rocky Mountains. Since I never had AT tires before I did not know what to expect and was concerned about their road manners. Well these really surprised me as I expected noticeably louder tires and degraded ride while traveling across country. But frankly, these sound and ride much like the highway tires they replaced. The traction is amazing in wet conditions. And off road they provided plenty of grip and cushion. I have taken them on mountain roads and trails in the Rockies and they perform exactly as I hoped for on road and off. It's hard to tell how long they will last, but after rotation and tire tread measurement after more than 10,000 miles I expect they deliver the longevity they advertise.

Given 87% while driving a Chevrolet silverado 1500 (275/70 R18) on mostly country roads for 8,000 average miles
QUIET QUIET QUIET! Very Quiet tire for the tread design, snow performance could be better but a great all around tire to towing and daily commuting, Rain performance was fantastic. Off-road performance has been very good as well in sand and gravel with mud holes.
