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 Continental ControlContact Sport SRS Plus Reviews

Given 68% while driving a Volvo XC60 D5 AWD Auto (255/45 R20) on mostly town for 1,000 average miles
I replaced the factory Continental Cross Contact Sports with these. I have to say they are good and bad. Steering response, wet traction and highway performance is good. However, they are much louder then the stock tires, ride firmer with noticeable harshness over uneven roads. There is also and odd hollow sound constantly while being a bit buzzy through the steering wheel.

I may return them for the OEM even though they were not the best in snow.

Given 45% while driving a Mercedes Benz (245/45 R17) on mostly town for 7,000 spirited miles
The road noise and vibration from these tires are horrible. I have driven 7,000 + miles on the tires and had them rotated once. The road noise and constant vibration from these tires will likely cause me to never purchase Continental tires again. Performance wise, these tires work well in Salt Lake City. We do not receive a lot of rain in Salt Lake so it's difficult for me to rate the tires in wet conditions. The tires now performance is good. The biggest downside to these tires is the road noise and constant vibration at the steering wheel.

Given 20% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI 7.5 (225/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 1,000 easy going miles
I had a set of Pirellis Weather Centuriautos on my GTI and 2 developed bubbles and vibration within a couple thousand miles. They were replaced with these CONTROL CONTACT SPORT SRS+. Checked the ratings and they were listed as a quiet, comfortable tire. Horse hockey. There is a constant roar from the back of the car that wasn't there when I had the Pirellis. I don't think I can live with these for 60,000 miles. The Pirellis also had a much more aggressive tread pattern that worked well on the snow we're having this winter. The Continentals will barely make it up the short incline to my house.

Given 83% while driving a Toyota Scion iM (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 200 spirited miles
A solid tire replacing some Pirrell's that were noisy, unpredictable and wore out quick. Sidewall cornering is pretty solid, it's a much quiter tire and held up wonderfully in a pretty heavy rain storm

Given 56% while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk6 (225/45 R18) on mostly town for 8,800 average miles
Comfort rating is low on these, with only 8,800 miles on them, they're LOUD. It sounds like there's a plane overhead when driving at 40mph or above.

Given 39% while driving a Toyota ALPHARD 3.0 MZG (/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 30,000 average miles
Possibly the noisiest tire I’ve had on my car very disappointed

Given 81% while driving a Mercedes Benz E350 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 9,000 spirited miles
Well, I am seeing others revies and I just moved from Michelin's to these tires and I have been pretty impressed so far. Given the fact that my E class Benz is a heavy car (4200 Lbs.) all wheel drive with 369 lb-ft torque, these tires are wearing out really well. I have driven these in snow, rain and highway. With 9000 miles they barely look worn. My previous set of Michelin's wore off 10 K before their life (Granted this is a heavy car with lots of torque). I love them.

Given 69% while driving a Dodge Charger RT (/45 R20) on mostly motorways for 50,000 spirited miles
I drive a 2018 Dodge Charger RT which is rear wheel and for all season tires these tires worked well in the snow, no anxiety like with cheaper off brand tires. Also good on wet pavement and awesome on dry.

Given 66% while driving a Volkswagen Golf MK7 GTI (/40 R18) on mostly town for 30,000 average miles
These things lasted quite a while, dry grip and handling was pretty good but wouldn't necessarily trust them as a reliable A/S tire in inclement weather. Had a sketchy moment in a patch of ice towards the end of its life when there wasn't much tread, so not necessarily the tires' fault. Overall pretty decent option if you're on a budget, especially if you're not too concerned about performance. Road noise is very minimal, and they're pretty comfortable too.
