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 Minerva Frostrack HP Reviews

Given 82% while driving a Mitsubishi Pajero (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 35,000 average miles
Hello: I have been driving the Minerva Frostrack UHP 265/60 R18 on my Pajero for 10 years (so 5 pairs), and without a single "change".
This means: I have new tires fitted before Christmas and then drive them for 2 years in the same position. Always through, in all situations: road, hunting,
with tipping trailer and 2x caravan with about 3500 km Croatia/Sweden, and here in the Eifel I have all weather situations and constant curves.If I d
If I then change them in the winter, there would still be enough tread until the summer, but given the price/quality I would like to have good tires again in the winter.
My mileage is around 17,000 - 20,000 km a year, so I drive them about 34,000 - 40,000 km and they would last another six months.
Can only recommend these tires.

Given 74% while driving a Ford Focus ST 225 (2003 2007) (205/55 R16) on mostly country roads for 3,000 average miles
Good tyre for continental climate where you can have snow a few times during the winter season and you do not want to risk it with summer tyres. Dry grip good, wet grip good, on snow the tyre goes where you want without problems and excesive wheelspin - the tyres do their job. The Focus ST is hard on any tyre but never the less these Frostrack HP hold up quite well with the wear - this is their second winter season and they should be good for at least one. For the price I would buy again.
