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 Potenza S007 Reviews

Given 73% while driving a Renault Megane (245/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Had the RS stamped ones as oe for my 2019 megane rs 300 trophy. Great on track and really suit the car working with the excellent chassis. Downside is very hard tyre with the already stiff ride and poor in standing water. Had to drive at 40mph on a motorway due to standing water as the car was aquaplaning. Fantastic if your "on it" but a bit much day to day

Given 67% while driving a BMW 128TI (235/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Very noisy with poor ride.
Aquaplaining poor tip.
Otherwise good tyre.

Given 86% while driving a Audi S5 (225/30 R20) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
I drive an Audi S5 boosted to 440hp and needed a tyre to cope. The Potenza performs extreamly well. I'm not sure about wear rates yet but its a soft tyre so not expecting high miles.

Latest Bridgestone Potenza S007 Reviews

Given 47% while driving a BMW 530D Xdrive Msport (275/30 R20) on mostly motorways for 6,000 easy going miles
I purchased these tyres for my 5 series as they are on various websites. However my first set on the rear lasted 6000 miles. Contacted Bridgestones and spoke with their technical team who said these are a very high performance tyre and not designed for a 5 Series. They are really only designed for an 8 and anything other than an 8 will result in premature wear. My previous Michelin Pilot Sports which I feel are superior lasted in excess of 30000 miles. Not happy at all. Will not buy Bridgestones again. No website that sells these has that advice.

Aston Martin (295/35 R20 W) on mostly town for 5,000 miles
These tyres were fitted to my DB11 AMR as original equipment and so far they seem good.
My previous car was a Jaguar F Type fitted with Pirelli Pzero, there doesn't seem to be much difference between them but I always like to use the OEM

Given 86% while driving a Audi RS4 Quattro (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 9 spirited miles
These came fitted to my Audi RS4 from the factory and I have been very pleased with the tyres. They have performed better than any Michelin Pilot Sport tyre I have previously run on my RS4's including the Super Sport. In fact, I've been so impressed that I shall get another set fitted come spring time, instead of waiting for the new Michelin PS4.

Given 71% while driving a Audi RS4 Quattro (265/30 R20 W) on a combination of roads for 18,000 average miles
Fitted to Audi RS4 from new. 18,000 miles later and still some life left. Performance all round very good, wet and dry. Would buy again over Pirelli or Michelin if only because of wear rate and no noticeable difference....
