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 Sporty Style MY02 Reviews

Given 71% while driving a Honda CRX Del Sol (195/50 R15) on mostly country roads for 45,000 spirited miles
These tyres are at the end of their production so Bridgestone will be clearing off the last of their stock. Got these tyres on my second car 7 years ago. Can't say that I was particularly experienced but these tyres are what I learned to drive quick on. Dry handling is good, not quite on par with modern Sporty tyres but still better than passenger tyres. I still had to really abuse them before they lost grip though. When they did break away they gave plenty of warning and were quite Manageable at the limit. The limits may have become a little lower as they aged or I may have just gotten quicker. They are definitely a bit softer in the sidewalls and actually paired well with the firm suspension of the Del Sol and the Integra Type R I had later. Both of these cars were on the harsh side but I believe the tyres still rode relatively comfortably. Can't comment on noise as both had minimal sound deadening. Wet handling was good enough for me. Never pushed extremely hard but the tyres were communicative enough to give me the confidence to drive swiftly. I had these on for about 45,000kms before I sold the car and still estimate at least an extra 10,000kms of wear life. They did wear on the inside first but that may be due to lowered suspension. A decent tyre if stepping up from a passenger tyre. Would probably give it a miss if you are wanting a true performance tyre. Main competition is from RE003 which I've also driven lots on. RE003 has higher limits has well as more feedback and steering response. It also wears faster and is much less comfortable. Would recommend My02 if its discounted and quite a bit cheaper than RE003. Make sure you check dates on these tyres on clearance to check they're still fresh

The worst tire from my favorite brand, it feeling like you're driving anonymous tires not Bridgestone it seems like is not made for RWD & Mercedes

Bridgestone MY-02 Sporty Style are one of the worst tires I've ever tried, very poor wet grip, dry grip is good, very uncomfortable tires.

Nice tyres with good handling and braking both in dry and wet.. Had gt radials before but the bridgestones are much better..

Great tyres for the price.
It's relative how you think about these, ie. I came from stock Good Year GT3 so these were way better than those.
Dry grip is great. Surprised me for the price I got them. (Costco clearing them out. Manufacture date was fine so got a deal.)
I have to be honest, my car's not a sports car and I'm not a professional driver so take that in mind.
My car's a little FWD hatch.
Wet grip was ok when new then starting to slip after 55000km. This means uphill from stop to go at the lights, I'll generally need to feather the accelerator or there will be lots of wheel spin.
I replaced these at 57000km with Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003. Still had 3.5 - 4.0mm tread depth according to my Pirelli tyre gauge.
The reason why I won't buy these again is main because they are price around the same as my Potenzas but does not have the same performance.
If driven, tyre pressure & rotated maintained correctly, should last around 65000km.
They are also directional tyres so you'll need to keep a different spare.
