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.

Given 40% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 1.9 Tdi (195/65 R15 H) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
I've just had the inf-030's removed from my VW Golf. Living in Scotland, I really need tyres with good grip in the wet. Unfortunately the Infinity's are plain dangerous in bad conditions. I was getting constant wheel spin on acceleration (traction control always kicking in), regardless of how gentle I was with the throttle. Cornering in wet is pretty shocking too, the car was understeering on roundabouts at around 10 mph and the car never really felt secure on the road. I changed them because I honestly felt it was only a matter of time before they caused an accident. Grip in the dry was OK, still nowhere near as secure as other brands I've used over the years (Dunlop/Conti/Goodyear). Road noise is well above average in my opinion too.. Please spend an extra few quid too avoid the Infinitys...

Given 37% while driving a Daihatsu Sirion (175/65 R14) on mostly motorways for 20,000 average miles
I've had these tyres for 2 years and drive in mild weather all year round. I've found that the road noise from these tyres is rather excessive. The dry road holding is fair and I haven't had problems in wet weather. I've just had a "Puncture" on the front right tyre the but the hole, which is more like a tear is in the side wall. I think these tyres are not very safe.

Given 64% while driving a Fiat Panda (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 2 spirited miles
Early days yet as I've only done a few thousand miles since getting these.
However, due to the extreme wet weather in the UK currently I have done many miles in very wet conditions on a wide range of roads from single track country lanes through to motorways - over 600 miles every week.
So far I have found them to be quieter than my previous tyres and grip, particularly in the wet is NOT that bad at all - I had been surprised at other reviewer comments - perhaps they had Friday issue tyres.
Ratings are somewhat middle of the road as it's early days yet.
Time will tell!

Given 33% while driving a Citroën Xantia Activa 2.1 TD (205/60 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
I did buy these essencially because of the price, because i needed tires to pass MOT and was short of cash...
For the price, you cannot ask too much from them, and i am aware of that.
Good tyres for the non sporty rider
