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 Minerva All Season Master Reviews

Initial Impressions Review
Given 77% while driving a Opel Insignia B (245/45 R18) on for 8,000 miles
Insignia b 2.0d 170 4x4. In dry conditions, the feel, steering response, cornering, and braking are very good. In wet conditions, it's also very good, with minimal understeer. In snow, it's very good from a standstill, braking is a bit weaker, and it's worst on snow and ice in tight corners; the car tends to pull out sideways. For FWD, it's probably only for city driving; for 4x4, I'd probably buy it again.
