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 Dueler HL 33 Reviews

Given 60% while driving a Lexus Rx450h (235/55 R20) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
The only good point of those tyres is the wear. They last a long Time because they are hard AF.
The grip is not bad, but they are noisy unconfortable and they are lacking precision.

Those are definitely not the best of bridgestone.

Tires that are not the best feel that they are unstable and slide even in the summer too hard and unpleasant

The Bridgestone's came with the car, with less than 40k on the clock, and I thought they were pretty good. Great grip, both in the dry but also in the longest and wettest Winter I can remember in Southern England for some time. Always felt confident. Almost no road noise and a comfortable ride in most conditions. Now, I've been doing some miles in the past few months, together with carrying some fairly full loads, however, and I hate it when that word crops up, they seem to have worn pretty quickly, particularly the rear two, even when I consider that. Yesterday, I picked up a nail in the rear driver's and had to get it fixed quickly. Luckily I did. A cursory glance most days didn't take in the fact the rear tyres are almost illegal, while the front two have started to crack inside the tread. Result, four new tyres asap. Will probably go Mich this time, if only for the longer wear.

Very good tyres, good handling and performance. Got around 50k kms combined 30% highway and 70% urban driving and still another 20-30k left.
