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.

Lowest rolling resistance in the test.
Everything else. Dangerously long wet braking.
It will be no surprise that the budget Sunny NA305 finished in last place, and was the worst in everything bar NVH and rolling resistance, and it wasn't just a little bit worse, 40% off in wet braking is tragic. When braking from motorway speeds, where you'd be stopped on the Pirelli, you'd still be doing 70 km/h on the sunny. That's bad. Think about hitting a stationary car at 70 km/h!.

Very low price, acceptable wet handling, low rolling resistance
Bad result the elk test, long braking distances on dry and wet surfaces, lowest comfort.

Questions and Answers for the Sunny NA305

Ask a question
August 26, 2022

I have just purchased an Audi Q3 2.0 TDI 1964. The dealer has fitted 4 x new Sunny NA305 tyres. I appreciate this not ideal but are they dangerous in normal driving conditions?

I have not tested these tyres so I can't give you a firm answer, however cheap Chinese brands like Sunny often test to have lower grip in the wet than midrange and premium tyres so I would certainly be mindful of the grip in wet conditions. The dealer didn't put them on because they're good tyres, the dealer put them on because they're cheap tyres.

Given 34% while driving a Nissan 2002 patrol (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 5,000 easy going miles
Bought these for my wife’s Nissan… after just shy of 5,000 miles they are both almost bald. Please note the car’s tracking is perfect and tyres are equally worn all over.. they give poor feedback, low dry grip and shocking wear, wife also complains that the skid warning light comes on more often with these.. bought her these budget tyres to get her car through the MOT, never expected them to need replacing after just 5k miles?!?!

Given 35% while driving a Kia Motors Sportage (245/45 R19) on mostly town for 1,000 average miles
Sunny NA305 tyres must be the worst tyres I have experienced on a car in my 40 years of driving. I replaced my 2 front tyres with a set early August when the weather was a little better.
In the dry, the tyres squeal on corners when driving round town, as if they are running soft. In the wet, trying to pull away with any power causes wheelspins and traction control light to come on.
Cornering in the wet is awful. I have noticed it especially coming onto roundabouts where the road surface might be a little more greasy than normal, the front end of the car just gives up grip and will slide. They give no confidence whatsoever driving in the rain, so will not push them to any limits for fear of ending up in a ditch.
I will be returning to the garage I bought them to advise them of the problems, if they value their reputation, they will source another alternate budget tyre.
I am going to try them on the rear axle to see how they perform, but will be expecting the car to have slightly different handling issues. Lesson learned, it was all the garage had in stock at the time, and gave me assurance they were of comparable quality to the tyres they replaced. I will never buy a budget tyre again. I wouldn't even fit these to a wheelbarrow.

Given 57% while driving a BMW 323ti (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Feels pretty good in the dry but really twitchy in the wet. Fuel consumption/rolling resistance is good. Can´t tell you about the Noise, due to a loud Exhaust. The Tire feels a bit stiff. All in all still an ok Tyre for the Price.
