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.

Excellent snow grip, a very capable tyre.
1st/9
Very short wet braking and good wet handling, high aquaplaning resistance, very good off road, low noise, good levels of comfort, lowest rolling resistance on test.
Long dry braking and slow dry handling with slow reactions to steering inputs.
The Firestone Destination A/T2 finished just 0.03% ahead of the Continental, but with a slightly different personality. Like the Continental it was exceptional in all the wet tests, but unlike the TerrainContact AT it was also one of the best tires in the off road tests. It also had an excellent level of comfort, low noise, and the lowest rolling resistance on test which is a fantastic combination of things. The negatives of the tire, it couldn't keep up with the Conti in the dry, and its steering response wasn't the best of the group. Like the Goodyear and Continental, this is the final tire we're putting the tire reviews highly recommended stamp on, and a very good road bias all terrain tire.

Given 90% while driving a Toyota hilux (215/80 R15) on a combination of roads for 80,013 average miles
Good all round tyre, on wet or dry surface. Even good on gravel. Reasonable priced. Surprisingly high mileage on a set. (80 013 km)

Given 73% while driving a Ford F 150 (265/70 R17) on a combination of roads for 8,000 spirited miles
Only draw back is steering response is vague. Best wet traction I have had in any suv/light truck tire.

Given 78% while driving a Nissan Navara 2.5tdi (235/75 R15) on a combination of roads for 55,000 spirited miles
My 2015, 2-wheel drive work truck came from the factory with street tires, but after nine years of suffering with poor traction, on and off road, I went for the Firestone (BF Goodrich) Destination A/T2 all-terrain tires. They are a bit stiffer than the old street tires, but they are quiet and smooth at highway speeds, work great on wet roads, and have plenty of traction on grass, mud and gravel. I use dedicated winter tires on my street car, so I can tell the truck is not as good on snow and ice, but that's not critical for the all-purpose nature of my truck

Initial Impressions Review
Given 93% while driving a Jeep 2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (275/65 R18) on for 5,000 miles
I spent a lot of time reading reviews before I pull the trigger, I wanted an all-terrain tire, that had good grip in the wet and snow, but did not kill my MPGs. The Firestone destination at2s exceeded all my expectations. The wet grip is phenomenal, better than the factory. All seasons that came with my large SUV, I was was caught in a blizzard in Western Pennsylvania recently, 12 in of snow, and for the most part I was bored having to drive real slow around other cars.

I don't drive fast enough to really comment on the dry grip, but the noise is low and I have not seen a meaningful change in my MPGs.

Given 59% while driving a Jeep compass (235/65 R17) on a combination of roads for 30 spirited miles
Ignoring all the issues I’ve had with have the tire installed on my wheels, I have had to replace three of my four tires and had one patched just from driving on well maintained forest service roads with nothing more the some pot holes. So if all-terrain means to you being able to go into the mountains and forest on dirt roads without having to worry about blowing out a tire I wouldn’t recommend these. They are pretty great in the snow though. I never had to chain up going over some very snowy icy passes. They also handle very well in the rain. Over all they are good tires if your not actually looking to leave the pavement more then every now and again.

I really like these tires, I've not used them on ice yet but in snow they're really awesome and they're 3peak 3PMS rated!
