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 CrossContact LX Sport Reviews

Given 72% while driving a Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2,0 280 hp (225/45 R20) on mostly town for 25 average miles
These tires are OEM on a 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio TI Sport AWD. I live in the Denver Metro area so snow and some ice are a consideration. I felt the traction was as good as could be expected for an all season tire under most snow conditions for a sports SUV. Dry road feel and handling was excellent. I rated it approximately 8 because a summer tire clearly would be preferable for non winter conditions . Only occasionally were the tires driven very aggressively and about half my mileage was in long distance 75 mile per hour travel. After 25,000 miles the tread depth is about 3/32. Recently in the first deep snow w. about four to six inches and slush on the roadways I found the traction to be not at all what was needed, naturally. I would like to improve on all the performance aspects of the tire but I may not be able to find, based upon the reviews I have read a true improvement for all categories. When there was plenty of tread life still in the tires I went through three winters and never had an objection to the tire traction in snow conditions even when deep. So the odds are good that I will buy this same tire to replace my worn set.

Given 80% while driving a Acura rdx 2.3l turbo sh awd (235/55 R19) on mostly country roads for 60,000 average miles
BOUGHT THESE TIRES 2MONTHS AGO AND FOUND THEY ARE OKAY, BUT NOT OUTSTANDING. THEY SEEM TO WANT TO ROLL WHEN CORNERING. THE RIDE IS QUIET AND ASSURING (267.00 EACH). I HAVEN'T HAD A SNOW EPISODE YET...WE'LL SEE.

Given 88% while driving a Honda (225/55 R19) on mostly motorways for 45 spirited miles
I bought my Honda CRV AWD Touring in March 2021 right out of the Honda showroom. I have just over 50,000 miles in 2.5 years. The tires still have a certified tread of 5/32 (2) and 4/32 (2). They were rotated at the Honda dealership at oil changes-at least 5 times over that time period. I drive approximately 85 - 90 % highway and during all the seasonal changes that living in NE Ohio brings. In dry weather, typical speed is 75 -80 mph. These tires have seen me through ice, snow, sleet, rain, and dry weather. I plan on purchasing them again before this winter begins.

Given 54% while driving a Kia Motors sorento (235/60 R18) on mostly town for 65,000 easy going miles
Silent tire, good grip, wet and dry. Worst tread wear eis the wort ever! Looks like it is made not for an SUV but for lighter car.

Given 38% while driving a Audi Q5 (235/60 R18) on mostly town for 72 easy going miles
My Audi dealer replaced my Audi Q5 with the Cross Contact LX Sport tires - they only last 29,000 miles. I paid $1,100 for 3 tires. Not only are they overpriced but they have bad tread life. Never again! No wonder they offer no mileage warranty.

Given 53% while driving a Land Rover Range Rover V8 Vogue (275/45 R20) on a combination of roads for 10 easy going miles
These tyres frightened me! On two separate occasions the completely ‘let go’ and aquaplaned on a UK motorway. There was some standing water but I was travelling at the same speed or less with other vehicles. On A Roads, hitting a puddle on one side invariably results in significant deviation from straight ahead. I previously had Falken Wildpeak - excellent in the wet and Pirelli Scorpion - satisfactory in the wet. I have no confidence in the Continental (as currently have around 6mm of tread) so will change ASAP.

Given 90% while driving a VW Tiguan 4 Motion (235/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
Great tyre for me on road and off-road. Grips tarmac well dry or wet have great confidence in these tyres. Off-roading and on tracks on farm these are the tyres to have. Steep muddy and sometimes rocky hills they just absolutely grip with minimal slippage and not a great need for a run up ever.

Given 59% while driving a Kia Motors Sportage (235/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
After 2 years and 20,000 miles these have given up. One of them has a slow puncture at the shoulder from a split in the rubber. Two of them have cracks all over the tread surfaces and grooves. Remaining tread on all 4 is about 2mm which is pretty rapid wear in 20,000 miles. They have been excellent in snow and ice, and pretty good in thick mud too.

Given 33% while driving a Nissan Pathfinder (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 15,000 easy going miles
4 Tyres completely worn out after only 15,000km I will never buy Continental tyres again, these tyres slip and slide in the wet and take off

Given 31% while driving a Chevrolet Gray chevrolet blazer (/65 R18) on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
These were the worst tires I've had on my 2021 blazer couldn't even hold a straight line on ice just swerved back and forth i replaced them after 19,000 miles with goodyear weather guard all season and it took care of everything and had the alignment checked to

Given 57% while driving a Land Rover Discovery Sport (225/45 R21 V) on track for 13,000 average miles
Tyre wear is terrible would never buy these tyres again went to Continental for reason why tyres wear was so bad and no satisfactory reason given Have had to replace 4 tyres in less than 2 years with less than 13,000 miles completed Fitted new on land rover discovery sport would not buy this model next time if these are the standard fit to tyres

Given 60% while driving a Nissan Pathfinder (235/60 R18 S) on a combination of roads for 13,000 spirited miles
Great tyre all-rounder but the wear & tear meant replacing them after only 13,000 mls. As far as I'm concerned; this is unacceptable especially when you consider I was driving a brand new vehicle with a wheel alignment and rotation @ 7,000mls.
