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.

Top 3 Vredestein Quatrac 2 Reviews

Given 81% while driving a Daihatsu Terios (215/65 R16) on a combination of roads for 45,000 average miles
We've been using this tire and its predecessors for about 20 years on all-wheel-drive station wagons (Subaru) and small SUVs (Daihatsu Terios). Our requirements are extreme. In addition to the wet conditions in the Rhineland, all tires are and have been driven to southern Spain several times a year with a full load. Once there, they have to drive for weeks on unpaved roads and in the summer heat, then drive over 2,000 km of highway back and also cope with the winter.
The tires have always been able to withstand everything, lasted a long time, even handled tricky maneuvers and we don't want any others, a clear recommendation.

Given 76% while driving a Citroën Xsara (185/65 R14 T) on mostly country roads for 20,000 average miles
I use it in winter, very good tires. Has grip on every surface, specially on wet/muddy/snowed roads. Grip is as good in lateral than in throttle/brake.
They are quite more noisy than my summer tires (Firestone SZ30) but it's normal because of the drawing.
I used it without any problem on very snowy roads (Austrian mountains) where big technologic cars (Audi & co) had problems for climbing even with snow tires!
The only negative point for me is the lack of rigidity they feel, the road feedback is like retarded. It needs to to be used to this strange sensation.

Given 96% while driving a Vauxhall Vectra (215/55 R16 V) on mostly country roads for 29,000 average miles
Faultless performance on my Vauxhall Vectra C, 2.0 diesel. Never slipped once, in 3 winters. Bought 4 tyres 29,000 miles ago, mostly dual carriageway motoring. The front two are due for replacement now, and the grip is just as good, unlike the Mitchlins previously, which skidded when down to the wear level. Noise level a tad higher than expected, but I would rather have grip and good mileage that worry about a fraction higher road noise. Had quite a few punctures when new, but haven't had any since their started to wear down(touch wood). Might try Quatrac 3, as this is another all season tyre.

Given 81% while driving a Volkswagen Cabrio (185/55 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
I purchased the wrong size for my vehicle, however, after 20,000 my only real complaint is the lack of rolling resistance they have. Being an all-season tire I've lost gas mileage because of this and they tend to hold you back. Wet traction has also suffered slightly since new but not enough to mention really.

Given 92% while driving a Peugeot 106 (165/70 R13 T) on a combination of roads for 31,000 spirited miles
My daughters car.
We put a set of these on it when she bought it, mainly for their all season capability as we were just going into winter.
Superb as with every Vredestein tyre i've used, and excellent value too.
The girl drives like the devil himself and the tyres have done everything asked of them, being thoroughly competent in all weathers including ice and snow.
The amazing thing is that having covered 31000 miles on them in 18 months the fronts still have 4mm tread depth and the rears 5mm...these were swapped front to rear about 8 months ago, i shall swap them over again to even out the wear but fully expect 35+K out of them....will definately buy these or the newer Quatrac 3 again.

Given 85% while driving a Nissan Note SE (165/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
Bought these as the standard Bridgestones Nissan fit were useless in snow/ice, (I live on edge of Pennines)and near worn out after 12000 miles
Huge improvement in traction and control under braking, too early to comment on wear but had to do some long motorway trips and found them quieter than bridgestones.
