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 Kleber Krisalp HP2 Reviews

Given 23% while driving a Mazda MX5 (205/50 R16) on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
Previous owner put these awful tyres on the back of the car. I don’t drive fast, so really can’t comment on dry grip, although the odd tyre squeal when setting off on a hill. Which I had put down to a light car with rear wheel drive (Mx5) but now think it was due to rock had rubber. Yesterday I got caught in torrential rain on the motorway. No problems in a straight line but on the twisty B roads they were lethal! Driving at about 30mph the back end would wiggle and we span across the road at one time fortunately missing everything.
The car has Hankook Ventus Prime 4 on the front which look like new so I am swapping out the rears for the same. The Klebers are lethal!

The issue you have here is less about the quality of the tyre and more that you've fitted a winter tyre to the rear axle of a rear wheel drive vehicle with a good quality summer tire on the front. This will lead to a dangerous handling imbalance even with the best winter tyre.

Worst winter tyres I've owned. It seems they were made of some hard rubber which made them practically wear resistant yet almost dangerous in snow conditions. I even skidded twice at low speed during winters from what I managed to recover once but the second one was completely unrecoverable. Otherwise they were decent during weak winters with lack of snow.

Very good tyre for the money. Was bought together with vehicle in 2009.
I changed 2 sets of summer tyres and these winter ones are still in very good condition. A bit noisier, and don't expect premium grip, however for moderate and a bit above moderate driving it will stick to the road quite ok.

Pretty cheap and great for snow. Correct on dry, and potentially slippery on wet road.

I bought these tires to fit on my car lasr winter. They are really good at dry and snow, but terrible at moisty surface. The car is just out of control on mildly wet road. Previously i had a set of Tigar Winter1 and they were better.

This tyre is very very bad!!!!!!!!!!! If its this bad im wondering how bad it will perform when the tyres get worn. My advise search for a premium tyre on the web and again search the best price. It will cost you a bit more but will give go a lot more safety and make you less nervious!!!!!!!!!

Seriously impressed with the performance of these last winter. Have just put them on again ready for the next cold snap. Was a little nervous about going for a 'less expensive' winter tyre but they worked incredibly well. As good as the Wintrac (vredestein) I used previously at 40% less cost.
In the snow and ice the grip levels, particularly under braking really inspired confidence. In rain and dry condition you lose a little bit of initial bite as you can almost feel the treadblocks squidge but the grip levels and feedback are excellent.
Did about 4k miles on them from Dec to March and they are hardly worn which surprised me given the softer compound.

Have just ordered another set for wife's car.
