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.

Top 3 Pirelli Scorpion MS Reviews

Given 10% while driving a Hyundai Santa Fe (255/45 R20) on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
Like myself, There are multiple online reviews or concerns about these tires. Multiple people have expressed vibration that resolved once all tires were changed. Other cases where two more tires were faulty in the same set. Some hyundai service centers are likely aware of this issue by now.

Given 69% while driving a Land Rover Defender (255/60 R20) on mostly country roads for 24,000 easy going miles
The current range of Pirelli Scorpion ms tyres do not appear to be fit for purpose! I have had several punctures over the past three years all of which have been a small piece of road gravel piercing the centre of the tyres.
On each occasion the gravel has gone through the rubber, canvas and even the metal gauze.
Unfortunately after 30 using Pirelli I think I will be changing manufacturer.
All of my cars on this period have been new Land Rovers/Range Rovers with tyres fitted as original equipment

Given 33% while driving a Tesla Model Y Long Range (255/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 16,000 spirited miles
These tires were only great at the beginning. These were OEM on my Tesla Model Y LR 2024. They performed great in the dry and wet when it started at full tread. It even was able to handle light snow (1-2 inches) and slush decently well (45mph only, I was able to make it slide but still felt controlled). However that all changed when they hit 7/32. The dry braking stayed pretty much the same however the cornering abilities seemed to be fading and the corners felt extremely squishy and that I did not have as much grip as I wanted. The wet performance faded as well and I was starting to feel that the braking distance definitely took a hit however they were still safe. Snow performance is gone by 7/32. I am currently between 4/32-6/32 and am I still feel fine driving them normally and not taking any corners as hard.

I do want to note that I probably could have gotten 25k miles out of this instead of the 18k I will be getting out of them if I drove a lot less spirited and did not take every corner as fast as I could or launch the car every time I could. They do get louder as they wear and I am not sure if the foam really did anything. Also not really driven on any ice so no comment on ice performance.

Will be replacing with the Goodyear WeatherReady 2

Latest Pirelli Scorpion MS Reviews

Initial Impressions Review
Given 61% while driving a Porsche Porsche Macan 4 (235/55 R20) on for 1,000 miles
In the dry: Compared to OEM summer UHP Bridgestone Potenza Enliten there is clearly less overall grip available and notice immediately dulled steering response, not good!
In the wet, sure-footed and feels almost the same as they are in the dry, consistent.
On ice/snow, good as you would expect but not great, not noticeably better than the OEM tyre. Where is the all-season benefit?
Noise & comfort, noticeably quieter than OEM tyre
Noticed an improvement in consumption lower rolling resistance

Given 100% while driving a Hyundai Ioniq 5 (235/55 R19) on mostly country roads for 200 average miles
Just installed yesterday as replacements for OEM Michelin Primacy 4 SUV as I need an all season tyre. The Michelins had worn from 6.3mm new tread depth to about 2.2mm in 65,000 km.
The new Pirellis were very grippy around corners on wet tarmac, quieter than the worn Michelins, and still very efficient at about 10% more energy needed. This is normal for new tyres compared to worn ones on an ev as they get more efficient with less tread. The new tyres have 8.5mm tread depth, very pleased to see that.
