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 Habilead SportMax S2000 Reviews

Given 80% while driving a Volvo V60 D5 (235/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 200 average miles
Only had these tyres for a couple hundred miles so far, dry conditions. Replaced Pirelli tyres as I was on a budget after some recent heavy expenses.

Initial are thoughts are good, I was concerned about buying budget as this is the first time I have done so.

Tyre noise seems far less than the usual Pirelli I've had on this car (Volvo V60) and the handling has been no issues with it being mainly motorway and countryside driving.

Given 79% while driving a Kia Motors Carens crdi (215/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Previously using Goodyear Effigrip 225/45/17 but workshop recommended 215/50/17 for more comfort. Tyres were very quiet and comfortable. Dry grip was excellent. Wet performance was not bad either, tried going though puddles at 80kmh and it managed to cut through nicely. Will buy again cause it's super value for money.

Given 17% while driving a Honda City (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 40,000 easy going miles
One of the worst tires I have used. Driven gently for three years. Parked in covered lots when not in use. Wear was like it’s gonna breakdown anytime if I did not see. My previous Yokohama was like a gun at the end of 3 years. Buy it only if you are Penny wise don’t care about safety.

This is the best budget tire you can find in the market. Decent specs with reasonable prices. No need to install a premium brands anymore.

Given 53% while driving a Hyundai Accent (195/45 R16) on mostly motorways for 10,000 average miles
I had these on the rear when I bought the car. Tried them on the front during service rotation. Felt very slippy even on the dry. Wet handling is quite poor. The tyre has developed some cracks on the shoulder- Manufacturing date: 4218, less than 2 years old. Lot of thread remain however. approx 5mm.

Given 93% while driving a Renault (195/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 0 easy going miles
Honestly I like the look ,and they drive well with minimum noise,but the only problem I had was within a year I filled a complaint with the supplier that they are tearing fast even though I do only 40 to 50 kilometers a day from home to work, I'm still using them even now .I bought them in june 2017 and I was told that its wear and tear and that it could be how I drive!, but still sad even I really like them so much. I had than 40000 kilometers on them.

Given 94% while driving a Toyota Mark X (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 2,174 average miles
Tires handle well on dry and wet conditions in regards to grip, car appears stable and steering response is great, tires are quiet on the road and very comfortable: a very big difference from the Achills ATR sport I inherited with the car.

The only issue so far is a swollen side wall on one of them making it appear that the tires have a weak sidewall just before clocking 1000km.

I will buy again thus far and recommend any other person as well
