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.

Average in the dry and quite dangerous in the wet. They lose grip very easily.

I agree with the Runaway comment. These just spin up pulling out of a junction anymore than on idle and lose traction in the corners. They were fitted when I bought the car and have done about 4k miles on them but am taking them off as the roads get wetter as they are boarder line dangerous.

Given 30% while driving a Ford Fiesta mk7 (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 15,000 spirited miles
I noticed the tyre model changes frequently perhaps to avoid long-term reviews. These should be called 'runaway' tyres. They are attractively cheap they perform a little below average and quite tolerable in the dry but in the wet they lose all traction and feel quite dangerous so I would never buy them again they are simply not cheap enough.

Given 86% while driving a Volkswagen golf 2.0 gt tdi (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 16,000 average miles
Replaced my original equipment Continentals with Runway 926. These lasted just as long as the Continental (16,000 miles) and provided good grip.
Would recommend for sure at this price point.

Given 71% while driving a Citroën xsara picasso (185/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
Purchased as a budget tyre, I was pleased with the dry & wet performance.
Due to the surprisingly good performance, I pushed the car quite hard around corners & roundabouts and wore the outsides of the tyres pretty quick - so the lowish mileage was probably my fault.

I would definitely buy again if buying on a budget.

Good all round tyre so far live in north of scotland so they will get all weather at them low noise car picks up fine on the gas lots of tread changed all my tyres to the runways so far we'll pleased would I buy them again yes at the price I paid £369 for 4 on a rav 4 17inch just as good as the bridge stones good fuel which is important now a days it's your choice what you put on your car but I would say don't rule these out just on price!only had them on for 1 month but car feels good and like new
