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.

Initial Impressions Review
Given 83% while driving a Toyota Corolla (175/65 R14) on for 5,000 miles
First time installed TOYO NE03 86T, after using various tires on same vehicle such as Goodyear, Continental, and others.
The ride is relatively firm and stable, handling seems to be good, these are XL tires, so the road feedback is a bit stronger. Braking response looks good for dry conditions, and light rain. This is definitely a touring set of tires, built durable but plain and stiff, so I drive accordingly. TPMS system for monitoring tires pressure and temperature is recommended for enhanced safety.

Ive been using it past 2 years, tread still good for daily use car 50000km mileage on it already. Tyres balance so good until i forgot it passed a year from my last tires balancing.

Given 61% while driving a Hyundai Atos (165/65 R13) on mostly town for 30,000 average miles
Very good on dry roads, very low noise and very good wear rate but very bad on wet roads (C rating on wet) that's why i won't buy them again.

Given 84% while driving a Opel Corsa (165/70 R13) on mostly country roads for 7,000 average miles
Tyres are pretty reliable on dry surfaces. Little weaker on wet but it can also be to the suspension. Overall very peased with the tire and would recomend it. Because i don't have the car to drive super aggressive but i tried to come to that stage and they stuck to road really good.
Hope this helps.

Very lousy tyre when wet. No confidence when driving in the wet.

Given 91% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 6 2.0 TDI 140bhp (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
the nice thing about them its that they are really quiet, good grip in wet and dry the only drawback is that they are not intended for hard cornering (tracks) but for long drives in which you an enjoy yourself and relax

Given 54% while driving a Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2.0 MIVEC (MAN) (205/60 R16) on mostly town for 3 average miles
I bought a used car(proton Inspira)which has these on and there's quite a lot of tread left about 60% but after driving it around for 6 month the performance started to get worse and worse and eventually one day when i was driving through the around corner the back slip and have absolutely no grip and i hit the divider

Given 97% while driving a SEAT Seat Mii (165/70 R14) on mostly country roads for 2 spirited miles
These tyres replaced Michelin Cross Climate tyres and I must say what a brilliant tyre this is, I was sceptical being a midrange brand I've never used before however after purchasing two I noticed it completely transformed my car. I had endless alignment issues after replacing ball joints, tie rods and even having a hunter wheel alignment the car still wouldn't go in a straight line however as soon as I removed the Michelin tyres and replaced them with this Toyo Nanoenergy 3 the alignment issues vanished. The car drives wonderful no worries about wet or dry grip it gives the car a very solid feel and most importantly I would definitely trust them 100% These tyres can't be beaten especially on price, only £54 each compared to £80 each on my old Michelin tyres. I would definitely recommend these tyres to anyone who's after safe, fun, solid performing tyres. Well done Toyo

Given 78% while driving a (195/60 R15) on mostly country roads for 3,000 average miles
Been using for 4k KM. The tyres are quite good with 420 Treadwear, don't expect too much because it is a Economy tyre. The tyres are good in wet, no major problem with aquaplaning, good feedback in dry or wet conditions. This tyre is better than some tyre with the same price range. Tyre noise is acceptable. I will repeat using this tyre again.

Given 80% while driving a Hyundai I10 (165/60 R14) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
I bought these tyres for my Hyundai i10 around 2 years and am pleased with the dry handling, however these tyres can be a little unpredictable in wet or rain. I paid £200 for a set of 4 fitted and balanced, I probably would consider a better tyre but no complaints about the wear rate or value for money.

Given 59% while driving a Kia Motors Cerato Forte (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
Wearing rate is impressive even without rotation. Handling fair. I drive in tropical conditions roads which is hard and hot averaging 40 to 50 degrees Celsius road temperature therefore comfort and noise are poor in these conditions
