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.

Got these tyres on my Nissan p12 1.8 sport and they have low road noise and last a good 30-40 thousand miles.Good handling in the wet unlike more expensive tyres and would definitely use again .Those that say there noisey should try different roads I drive from mid Wales to durham a lot and they have been quite.

Given 94% while driving a Toyota Camry (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 80,000 average miles
Brilliant Tyres. Used to be OEM and now obsolete for some reason as hard to come by esp at likes of KMART TYRE etc. I paid $115 per tyre fitted and they gave me about 80,000 kms and last for about 3 years. I have used them for 6 years and replaced twice and no complaints. Totally value for money!

Given 76% while driving a Volkswagen Caddy (205/60 R15 W) on a combination of roads for 42,000 spirited miles
All round Beats the standard tyres on my work vw caddy van maxi. 5 meters increase in stopping distance in dry over standard tyres.
Wore out after 42,000km but I am heavy footed so actually not too bad.
Low noise, decent handling in wet and dry.
Good entry level sports tyre.

Given 27% while driving a Nissan Primera (205/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 800 easy going miles
Had these at the back of my Nissan Primera P12 when i bought it. Exellent wear and that is all about this tire. Hard as a rock, zero comfort, they make the car sound like 20 years old. I am changing them tomorrow. Tryed also Dunlop SP Sport Fastresponse on another car and it was the same thing. Probably will give the Dunlop's a last try with different model, but very disapointed with the brand so far.

Used on a Subaru Impreza. No Bad at all, good for highway use.

More comfortable than the popular brands (but made in Indonesia etc). Good quality. Less noisy than many other tyres. Excellent for its price.

Not easily available for 15 inch size 195 R50.

Given 72% while driving a Renault Grand Scenic (/ R) on mostly motorways for 15,000 average miles
Second set of SP300's and no complaints. Good in dry and wet conditions and no cause for concern; would buy again. Minor irritation (although cannot compare with other tyres) when wear gets down to about 3mm road noise and vibration much more noticeable through steering wheel; an inadvertent safety feature to make you change your tyres?? (Probably not, but it certainly made me change)
