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.

put these on 2004 polo never buy again sounds like driving a mk 1 land rover and handles about the same rubbish tyres

Had all seasons for years and found these to be the best on a budget. Had uniroyal/vredestein/hankook etc prev and these knock spots off them. Always got me to work(and home again) even in all the snow in march 2018 and we live in a hilly area.

Latest Firestone MultiSeason Reviews

Given 89% while driving a Peugeot 208 1.2VTi (195/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
At the end of the 2 years with these, they've just about hit the snow/ice limit (3mm) and I have to say they have been excellent tyres.
They grip well in the dry, have decent fuel economy and handle well in the wet.
However, in the snow and ice they really shine. They have outperformed my partner's CrossClimate booted car, clambering up our steepish hill to get out our estate with no complaints, where the CC struggled a bit for traction in the snow and ice.
I'm going to replace them before this winter with the Multiseason Gen 02 which look to be just as good

Given 88% while driving a Dacia Sandero 1.2 16v (185/60 R15) on mostly town for 9,000 easy going miles
two years and counting, handles well in the snow and ice, a little bit of noise on the road, very pleased with every day driving. as for wear, still got plenty of tread.
January 15, 2019
Given 91% while driving a Skoda Octavia (195/55 R15) on mostly country roads for 1,000 average miles
these look like an identical tread pattern to my old firestone winter hawk run them all year round , never gets that warm here in NW ireland.
first time in real snow and ice for a few years and giving me real grip in snow and braking in a straight line in ice i live on ungritted hilly country roads so always have a few miles of interesting driving when winter comes.
but i have found these tryres fine in summer and much better than a summer tyre once the temperature drops

Given 60% while driving a Toyota Corolla (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
Reasonably inexpensive tires. Good in dry, suprisingly quiet. Required caution on the wet. Atlhough grip in straght line is pretty decent- tire has problems coping with corners and rounabouts.

Given 86% while driving a Skoda Octavia (195/65 R15) on mostly country roads for 10,000 average miles
been using these for two years and had identical looking winter tyres previously.
found no issue running these year round and found no difference between these and summer tyres.
on what little snow and ice we have had recently they have performed very well

Given 83% while driving a Peugeot 208 1.2VTi (195/55 R16 H) on mostly motorways for 1,000 easy going miles
I've replaced a set of Michelin Energy Savers with these as they gained some good reviews. So far I've used them in the wet, dry and snow. They have coped well in all the conditions thrown at them so far.
In the dry they perform like a summer tyre, plenty of grip and handle well with no understated. In the wet, they have no problems dealing with puddles and standing water, offering plenty of grip and good braking distances. Where they have stood out is in the snow, they were sure footed with very little sliding.
Overall for the price you pay and what you get, these tyres are a good investment.

Given 64% while driving a Volkswagen Golf tdi (205/55 R16) on mostly town for 7,000 easy going miles
Quiet and comfortable. I replaced a Bridgestone T001 for the MultiSeason, dry grip feels about the same, wet grip not quite as good.
