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 Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 ROF Reviews

Given 77% while driving a BMW E46 330D Sport (205/55 R16 H) on mostly town for 6,000 spirited miles
Good winter tyres, although I did not had a chance to drive it in real snow.
Frosty mornings were absolutely fine.

A bit noisy, and I was surprised that they are rated at 68db. They sound much louder than any summer tyres I had.

Hold the road well at 120mph and the sidewalls strong.

Given 63% while driving a Mazda Mazda 3 2004(BK) hatchback 1.6i (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
Grip or wear is fine. Car have done many miles on them (I personaly about 5000) but the COMFORT is 0%. The tyre is way too heavy and strength. Its because of it runflat type. When I changed them for non ROF tyres the comfort went up to 100%.
When I drove over some bumps on the road the car was all shaking. I am sure the suspension was suffering with these tyres.
I would certainly never buy ROF tyres again. Maybe Dunlop M3 are okay, but not ROF..

Very good tyres, got 4 used one by buying used rims for winter, then I bought them brand new, and they are wonderful in snow.

Love their progressiveness on wet road.

I'll buy them again with no doubt
