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.

4 years and 50.000 km: this was the lifetime of the tires that I had. After 50.000 km, in which 80% were used on the back wheels ( FWD Car ) , the wall of the tyres was gone

Replaced a part worn mixture of cheap summer tires for a Christmas to the Highlands in 2013. Instantly noticeable improvement on snow & ice, excellent feel & control. Always felt safe and well planted in the dry, but a fully loaded Multipla is

Really disappointed with the Npriz 4S. I've had Nexens for the last 8 years and I have always been impressed, So I tried their all season tyres, wish I hadn't! These were a massive let down.
Main problems are wet grip and wear.
In the wet they are genuinely dangerous. I found that they gave horrendous understeer if you are driving with any form of speed. I don't mean unreasonable speed, I found these tyres let go in the same conditions that N6000s were fine with.
Also, wear was very poor. They say all season, but obviously if the temperatures are higher the tread scrubs off.
Conclusion: All weather = master of none, i'll be going back to N6000s

Mediocre. On snow and ice it is a dezastre. For mediterenean whether low 0C they are ok.

Given 30% while driving a Fiat Panda (215/65 R16) on mostly country roads for 5,000 easy going miles
I live in the apenine mountains in Italy and got these tyres to replace the standard continental cross contact all season tyres on my fiat panda 4x4 ready for ski season. I drive about 3 months of the year on uncleared snowy roads with steep climbs and hairpin turns. These tyres were utterly terrible! The lateral grip in all conditions is extremely poor and the wear is also terrible. I would also say they are dangerous in wet conditions as the slightest bit of water resulted in masses of under steer. I will not buy nexen tires again And swapped them out early for some safer vredesteins (which are great).

Driving a mazda6 Katano 2006
These are one of the best tyres i have had on the mazda I drive quite quickly and these tyres are really good in the dry,wet and snow, They wear really well as well i've done 25,000 miles so far and there's still a bit of tread left, I changed the back too the front at about 15,000, They wear evenly as well usually the sides wear down quickly on other makes, somtimes you can feel them slide a little on roundabouts and sharp corners but i would put that down too oil and grease

They are good in dry and cold tarmac . They perform well in Snow, they have lot's of grip. But, on wet tarmac, the tire loses grip very easily in hard braking situations.

They are good in snow and dry surfaces. In wet situations, the tire performs well.

Exp. Megane TCE 2.0 180 HP Front drive in the Nürburgring area with lot og country roads and speedways....;)
After Hankook, Goodyear allweather its the second set of 4 new shoes for my car with the Nexen Priz 4s! Grip in try/dsy is good to get the speed of the engine on the road.
In rain the tyres are good on the breaks, as well in dry conditions.
With snow the tyre react like "high perform" Tyres like the much higher price Goodyear.
So all in all it´s the price that counts!

Given 43% while driving a Opel Astra G (185/65 R15 T) on mostly town for 2,000 average miles
Honestly, the tyre is comfortable, but, in wet road is like to drive in a cloud, you feel flying and is almost impossible to brake. If you value your life, please dont buy this tyre.

Given 92% while driving a Mitsubishi ASX Outlander Sport (225/55 R18 W) on mostly motorways for 0 easy going miles
Those are the fabric "shoes" of my new "Mitsubishi Outlander Sport". After the first 2,000 km all I can say, is - very reliable, safe, secure tires, which will not cost you the earth or the farm to change \eventually\. So far I can give 10/10 on dry grip and 9/10 on wet grip, leaving road feedback & wear empty, since 2,000 km are not enough to make a correct evaluation. "Shoes" are comfy, leaving no noise, buzz or tiresome sounds at the ride, both on- and off-road. Even fuel consumption with these all-season all terrain tires, which I expected to be higher than the factory 32 mpg (8.8 liters/100 km) is somewhat similar, maybe a bit higher since the car is still under running it in, and all consumption (gasoline, oil, etc.) are supposed to be higher. "Buy again" is 9/10, since my stile of driving is leaving a lot of room for using those tires for the next 50,000 km or so. Happy driving, and no accidents, fellas!
