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.

215/65 R17 • 2025
5th/7
The Riken SUV Snow finished the test tied for fifth place overall, delivering a performance profile nearly identical to its twin, the Kormoran tyre. The tyre did not stand out in any particular area, generally placing in the middle or lower end of the results across all conditions. It finished sixth in the dry category and fifth in the wet, with results for braking, handling, and noise that were consistently behind the leading competitors. Its snow performance was also mid-pack, ultimately defining it as a tyre with average capabilities but no distinct advantages.
