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 ExtremeContact Force Reviews

Given 71% while driving a Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 2016 (315/30 R18) on track for 1,600 spirited miles
I purchased the Conti Forces in 295/30/18 and 315/30/18 for autocross and track use on my 2017 Z06. This summer I ran eight autocross events and about 1500 road miles on the tires and I've been pleasantly surprised by the life they're providing. Should easily be able to get through next year's track season on the same set. As a 200TW track focused tires, the dry grip is tremendous as expected. Wet grip... exists, but they definitely don't inspire much confidence in the rain at any speed. They are rather loud on anything other than a pristine surface, but that's to be expected. I'll probably try another set when these are worn out, hopefully someone has the 345s in stock at that point.

Given 73% while driving a Mazda Mazda Miata (225/45 R17) on track for 3,000 spirited miles
I have ran these for a full season of AutoX on my Miata at 225 wide. They perform very well but I still believe the Bridgestone Potenzas and the Falken Rt660s carry way more confidence and grip. I never use these in anything but dry grip for performance use so comfort and noise have no meaning to me.

Given 91% while driving a Mazda MX5 (225/45 R15) on track for 4,000 spirited miles
Been using these on my track day Miata. My first impression was how little heat they require to get working. You can attack out of the pits better than on other lapping tires, and they don't suffer from heat as much as the autocross/time trial tires do. It will give up some time to the super 200 tw tires, but if you're more concerned with a consistent tire that can hold up to the abuse of 20-30 minute sessions, the Conti is excellent. Street manners are fine, not dissimilar to the other tires in the category. They suffer in the cold, and are ok in the wet. No real draw backs to this tire other than the cost.

Given 77% while driving a Hyundai Hyundai Veloster N (235/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 3,500 spirited miles
Best 200tw endurance tire for mixed use. Lasts an okay amount of time and has very good grip

Given 80% while driving a Toyota MR2 (205/50 R15) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Ran these tires as daily tires for my 1985 MR2 and had a fantastic time with them. My previous set were ecs02's and they were just a bit ahead of those on grip, very good feel through the car and translated well. When sliding, they are great on feedback and I really liked them on the edge. The wear was good, great even for a 200tw. I think this tire is definitely best as a track tire, usable as dual duty for autocross or daily or track. When cold, they are quite skittery and will not have the same level of grip as when they are warm, very behind the ecs02. On a cold day or wet day at autocross, the tires would not warm up and were much slower than other tires. The tires do fall off a little with so many heat cycles in them but still hold very well and grip fine at the track.
