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.

Ever since I bought these tires, my car vibrates. No matter what I do, I can not get rid of the vibration. I have had them rebalanced, rotated, and rebalanced again. These tires are a good value, but not worth it . I'd rather spend the extra money for a better tires

Very dangerous tyres! Made in Turkey. Bad in the dry roads bad and weak in the wet. No comfort. I think all the Chinese tyres mark is better. Petlas is Death-las

First time with this car and these tyres. They aren't tyres.....they are a plastic crap potato! Btw they are ok for 1 year at the city but with your grandma inside!!! They are so soft and you can't overheat them because they will become very dangerous. They scream very easy and after that you can hear their pain for the next 100 meters.....

I wouldn't recommend this tyre to anyone. It may be a low cost tyre but I believe there are better options at this price point and there are definitely better value for money propositions in the market. Dry grip may be ok, but the main dissapointment was it's wet surface perfomance. Unfortunately I had been involved in a mild accident wearing these tyres. It was during slight rain that the car skid for more than 15 feet (5 meters), with medium brake input, and I slammed the car in front of me. I had them for about 2 months at that point and I learned the hard way that these tyres were dangerous on wet surfaces, let alone any good. (after the incident i used to go to parking lots to see the braking threshold of the tyre before sliding. it was about 1/4 of brake work) In terms of comfort I guess they were ok. As for wear, they were really good and I could use them for a good 4+ years, although for obvious reasons I changed them a lot sooner for some dunlop bluresponse which were better in virtually every category except for wear maybe. In conclusion, if you live in really dry climates you may give them a shot. If you live in areas where it rains even somewhat rarely, stay away from them at all costs.
