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 HT 687 Reviews

Given 71% while driving a Suzuki grand vitara (225/65 R17) on a combination of roads for 70,000 average miles
Came as OEM in suzuki grand vitara 2017 (made in IKCO Iran). it lasted around 110,000 km, still 20-25% tread left. long lasting tires but a little noisy. as the tire wears down, you feel losing control when turning in high speed.
good tires in the dirt and sand. not a good grip in wet and snow.
If you want a long lasting tire this is the one. just changed it to Dunlop ST30 225/65r17 and see how it goes.

I had Bridgestone Duelers on an Isuzu Trooper some years ago and wasn't impressed. These newer Duelers, came as standard on a Suzuki Grand Vitara. The 687s have what I would call a "pseudo all terrain" tread, they're ok on dry, fairly easy tracks, but don't expect them to perform in mud - but that's not what they're designed for... On the road these are reasonably comfortable, if a touch noisy. I'll come back to that in a mo. In the dry they handle as well as can be expected, they certainly have more grip than I have bravery! It's on wet roads, and particularly, damp roads that the tyres let you down: at reasonable, but not excessive speeds, they start to feel like they have no traction, while steering becomes predominantly understeering, but then, without warning oversteer occurs. I know SUVs aren't really designed to be driven on the edge, but my Suzuki is permanent 4 wheel drive, and I certainly wouldn't expect this much problem with handling. I have now replaced these with Cooper Discoverer ATT; if only Suzuki had supplied something like these as standard equipment! Not only do they handle better offroad (ok, no surprise there!), but they also handle better on road, have a noticeably better ride, while fuel consumption and road noise have stayed largely the same. Add to that they were exactly the same price as the Duelers and job's a good'un.

Given 45% while driving a Mitsubishi ASX Outlander Sport (225/55 R18) on mostly country roads for 10,000 average miles
Fitted as standard to a Mitsubishi ASX Black. Wet grip below 50 mph is fine, however at anything above and stopping distance is appalling. Cornering in the wet at lower speeds adequate. Dry grip is good at all speeds and cornering. However, dare to take these tyres onto gravel or wet grassy surface and you will have wheel spin straight away. Same for snow or ice, on snow these tyres are useless. Wheel lock will occur on ice at the slightest touch of the brake pedal. Ride quality is average with a lot of road noise on motorways. They do not seem to be a good choice for an SUV. Not impressed and will change asap.

Suzuki (205/70 R15 V) on mostly country roads for 5,000 average miles
one of the best compomises for a suzuki jimny.
exellent, on the jimny anyhow , in the snow.
good to very good on mud
could be better on braking however in wet conditions
amazingly good on ice and black ice
great on aquaplaning.
wears well.
exellent on minor roads and tracks making them good for moorland conditions in the uk. such as the peak district.

Given 79% while driving a Suzuki grand vitara (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 45,000 average miles
i used this tyres for about 6 years and almost no complaint about the handling when dry. but it will loose their grip and feedback when it reach 80mph. At wet driving, i feel that this tyre didn't grip well at high speed but still okey below 60 mph. Road noise is good, not so noisy at normal speed. And i think this tyre durability almost good, 6 years and 45k miles used and it still have 30% tread. No crack on sidewall and no steel belt problem.
