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.

Given 91% while driving a Renault Renault Megane III Estate 1.5dci (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
After 10000miles tyres are really good on dry/ wet roads. I don't find a reason to buy more expensive tyres. My previews: Michelin primacy3

Given 37% while driving a Vauxhall Astra 1.7 CDTI (225/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 12,500 easy going miles
I bought a Opel/Vauxhall Astra J with brand new Deyton Touring 2 tyres. I have driven them for 12500 miles, mostly on highway and regional roads, and they were dead after 12,5k miles. From the day 1 they had quite a bad grip in wet, and and slipped over the side walls easily in two occasions when I drove a bit faster than usual. After 10 000km they become noisy on highway. Definitely not buying them again.

I have that Tyre for abt 3 years / 25000 klm abt . With a ford Fiesta 1.4 80 hp normal driver but some times i drive also in offroad conditions just as slow as possible..
In wert condition i found tyres to slip very easy special while stop and try to start in steep grade road. for summer conditions here in Greece that usually with have temp 32 C and asphalt temp abt 40-45 its ok.. or to use between March to September). However when winter & rain season come then .. gripping become dangerous to road..

Given 60% while driving a Honda Jazz (175/65 R15 T) on a combination of roads for 1,500 easy going miles
Bought two new ones to put up front on my Honda Jazz 2009. Reasonably quiet and easy going, nothing special overall but have never let me down so far, this is the second season I am using them. Will probably buy something else next time, but overall satisfied for what I paid for them.

Feels very much same as did previous Continentals. Light weight and good handling. Slightly over steering feel on sharp curves.

Verry good tyres, I have them for a year now, the wear is good, the grip and handling is also good for my car (ford fiesta 2010)
All in all the tyres are excelent for their price.

Given 81% while driving a Mercedes Benz C320 (205/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 700 easy going miles
Bought it brand new, XL version, 94V. Price/quality is perfect. Mine are made in Italy. They are quiet, handle well and wear is reasonable. I drive them for 1000km now and would buy them again, for such price it is a bargain.
