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.

The BEST Studded Tyres for 2025

5th/8
The Pirelli Scorpion IceZero 2, despite its SUV-specific naming, closely resembles the manufacturer's standard IceZero2 in both tread design and performance characteristics. Ice grip doesn't match the premium competitors' standards, and the tyre displays an oversteer-biased balance on snow and ice where the rear end tends to step out first, though this behavior is never surprising or uncontrollable. Where Pirelli truly excels is on asphalt surfaces, offering the best steering feel and responsiveness of any tyre in the test, with exceptional ability to navigate quickly around obstacles in emergency situations. The tyre also leads in aquaplaning resistance and achieves the highest cornering speeds on wet surfaces, though road noise levels are among the higher in the group.

4th/8
Grip on asphalt, linear and fine steering feel on all surfaces.
Average grip on ice, slightly worse on aquaplaning.
Scorpion in Pirelli language means SUV tyre. Like the usual IceZero 2, it performs very well in the dry. This is the winter tire whose driving experience is closest to that of a summer tyre. the speed rating is also the highest in the bunch (H, 210 km/h). Pirelli boasts a nimble and natural steering response, exquisite stability under pressure and short braking distances on both wet and dry asphalt. On ice and snow, Pirelli has a slightly lower level of grip than the very best, but even then it excels with high driving pleasure through nimble steering and is able to enter the curves with easy co-steering rear axle.

"IZ2" is for those who want the best driving characteristics possible and can imagine compromising on winter grip.
