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.

I bought MRF zlx tl tyre and within 1 month of purchase the tyre burst from the side. I had to throw away the tyre within a month. I did not see any responsibility of MRF in the matter of tyre. And I will never buy it again

I have bought MRF ZLX three years ago ALL FOUR tyres and I have replaced 3 times, yesterday I have claim for my forth one. As dealer told me that you have to replace. Only one time company passed my claim. I wouldn't suggest MRF for your car.

Could be better if there is 0 star available for rating. Worst quality of tyres from MRF and gone within 2 months and they simply say there are no manufacturing defects so can’t be claimed. I would not recommend MRF for any vehicle 2 wheeler, 4 wheeler and heavy vehicles. Please don’t waste your money on MRF tyres.

I have replaced MRF ZEC company fitted tyres for my Hyundai I-10 sportz 1.2 car with MRF ZLX. The tyres have crossed 55k mark recently and now I think to change two out of them.

Definitely it is as good as for both wet or dry surface. Only thing to worry is it is pro puncture tyre means get punctured. My experience may be caused due to rough condition of roads in my locality.

As for as service after sell is quite good and I have got a new tyre from the company under it s policy of changing tyre due to technical fault.

However 55k mark is enough to consider the company again.

My last Apollo Tyres were lasted for 7 and half years, after looking at the condition I decided to go for best Indian brand. I was hoping for best but my experience was worst. Eventually it started with dealer it self , they were not at user friendly, still I gone and purchased Tyres , and within two weeks of purchase I observed side cut, I visited delear , but he simply refused to listen saying that Its not covered in warranty without giving proper explanation. This experience was definitely discourage one , I will definitely like to not encourage anybody to go for MRF Tyres..
