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.

Latest Tyre Test Results
The General G-MAX AS-07 delivered a slightly firm ride on the road, communicating most imperfections to the driver but rounding them off to avoid a rough feeling. Noise was a deftly blended mix of muted tones, and the steering built effort nicely, feeling responsive but just shy of immediate. On the wet track, the tyre performed well with lively, pointed steering that worked in concert with a balanced, planted feeling, though it could find oversteer quicker than desired when pushed to the limit. It truly shined on the dry track, where it felt composed and agile, and any traction issues disappeared, delivering the best braking distances in the test and competitive lap times. In the snow, it was a decent performer, able to put power down well with predictable handling, making it a good overall package, though it lacked the outright traction to compete with the very best in winter conditions.

Top 3 General G Max AS 07 Reviews

Given 94% while driving a Mazda MX5 (205/40 R17) on mostly town for 300 spirited miles
Mine is a wierd size tire, fits the Mazdaspeed miata and who knows if anything else. I went through 3 sets of original spec Toyo tires in 39k miles before I found these. Treadwear is supposed to be MUCH better, traction is great (seems just as good), comfort and noise is better than the stock tires--I wish I had found these sooner!

Given 84% while driving a Infiniti 2011 G25 (225/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 600 spirited miles
I only have a few hundred miles on my new AS 07's, after replacing my set of AS 05's on my Infiniti G25. Right off the bat though, I can say they have plenty of grip for my 'spirited' driving style without being too harsh over any subpar roadways. They are quiet while cruising and best of all, didn't break the budget. It would have been easy to spend $200-500 more on a competitors tire, but I can't imagine feeling any better about a tire at any other price. Count me as a big fan and an avid endorser of this tire.
