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 Metzeler Racetec RR Reviews

Given 61% while driving a BMW S1000RR (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 2,485 spirited miles
I have used this tyres for 4 months now on a s 1000 Double R. I have used the K3 compound they are really sticky tyres coming from the Dunlop Q3 which I used for over 4 years. The dry grip is really good and really confidence-inspiring on a hot day. On a cold day however, the tyres the do not inspire too much confidence and I have not push them in the wet because I have heard from other people that the wet grip isn't the best. I dropped the pressures to 34psi round and I had even more group which was fantastic something I had not experienced grip wise on the Q3s. The front tyre seems to wear faster than the rear. It also feels like a softer tread than the rear. Overall the tyre is good for track use and fast Canyon riding in warm weather.
