Based on Professional Tests · Limited Confidence · Updated 23 Feb 2026

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.

Non mentioned.
Very poor grip on snow and ice, poor handling in the dry and wet.
Not recommended. Not only poor grip, but the tyres started to lose spikes in the first 80 km.

Top 3 Sailun Ice Blazer WST3 Reviews

Given 43% while driving a Mercedes Benz E220Cdi (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 16,000 average miles
Have them on a mercedes benz e220 RWD. I realy dont like them. I have the studded version and my review is only based on winter driving in Iceland. When driving at around 80 to 90 km/hr i will have snapp oversteer when im going up gradual hills or maby accelatating. I have had other RWD cars with yokohama studded tyres and they were mutch better and not so unpredictable. I have coverd at least 25k km and i cant wait to replace them with a premeum brand. About 70% of the studds still remain.

Given 66% while driving a Acura TSX (205/60 R17) on for 5,000 average miles
I bought these as Canadian Tire branded "Certified WinterTrek" (exact same tire made by sailun as the WST3). Overall they are fine tires in the dry and wet, but they are almost as bad as typical all-seasons in the snow/ice. The tread compound is just too hard. I'm sure they will wear well given the stiff tread, but I was hoping for better winter grip. I didn't get them studded.
I didn't even bother putting these on in the winter the past couple of years since the small increase in winter performance over my all-seasons is not worth the effort of changing tires.
Do yourself a favor - if you are not getting them studded (or like me, studs are illegal where you live), don't bother buying them. Search for real winter traction elsewhere.

Given 39% while driving a Opel Insignia B (245/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Yes, these tyres brake and accelerate on snow and ice but the grip in corners is awful and dangerous, you will never know when the powerslide starts. Really dangerous tyres to drive in winter conditions. Not recommended. Save some money and buy atleast Hankooks.

Latest Sailun Ice Blazer WST3 Reviews

Given 77% while driving a Audi A4 Quattro 1.9 TDI Avant (205/55 R16) on mostly country roads for 2,500 spirited miles
Firstly these tires have a version with and without studs- I use them WITH studs as that is allowed here. Secondly, I have used these tires on my previous car also for about 25 000 kilometers Thirdly all my cars are Quattro so that may change some things. I have heard quite a lot of negative feedback about these but all from small front-wheel-drive car users, don't know anyone with an RWD car so can not comment on that. For me, these are really nicely controllable tires in snow and also on ice. I do not have any experience with premium category tires but to date, these are the best I have used. I'm quite an aggressive driver in winter and I love the control over both of my cars going sideways with these tires. Also, I have never had any unpredictable or uncontrollable situation with these not going straight or in corners. Any coming slippage can be felt in and corrections can be made in advance. The suds stay nicely in place (of course after running in tires correctly of course). In my other car after 25 000 kilometers, most of the studs are still in place, there are on a tire with 6 missing and that is the worst one. The thread also looks ok and I estimate that 30 - 40 thousand kilometers can be achieved if nothing suddenly changes in the performance later one. I'm not really sure that this will help anyone but if you use an all-wheel-drive car and studs are allowed in your region I suggest to trie them out as the price are quite good in my opinion.
