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.

Given 70% while driving a BMW X5 4.4i (285/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles

Given 87% while driving a Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI (255/55 R18) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
Recommended (naturally) by the seller, figured that I'd try them. Far more comfortable than the previous 20 wheels with Hankooks, a LOT less noise on coarse chip, almost silent on the smooth stuff, haven't tried them in heavy rain, but no problems to date on slightly wet/greasy surfaces. Even braking even under heavy foot, no apparent wear obvious after a few thousand kilometres. in fact still look new . Not a single problem so far on my AWD 2010 Touareg V6 TDI. More info after20,000km

Volkswagen (265/55 R18) on mostly country roads for 4,200 spirited miles
I'm willing to give all tyres a go and fitted Zeta Azuras to my V6 TDI Touareg. I "ran them in" for about 500 km, then gave them a thorough work-out on varied surfaces and in different conditions. I find that they are at least the equal and in some cases, better than high-priced and well known brands. On smooth bitumen they are virtually silent, coarse chip surface result in increased but acceptable road noise. Gravel and loose rock surfaces does not bother them, or me, and they perform well beyond my expectation in the wet. Grip is excellent and no slip or slide is detectable even heavy cornering or rapid directional changes. So far, at 7000+ kilometres, there are no apparent signs of wear or 'out-of-round'. I'll comment when many more kilometres have been covered, but I would have no hesitation in recommending them, and indeed, I'm, having a set fitted to my 20" wheels as well. No, I am NOT affiliated in any way with these excellent tyres or their sale or distribution

Latest Zeta Azura Reviews

Given 53% while driving a Nissan Qashqai (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
These tyres (18”) were fitted to the front wheels of my Nissan qashqai as recommended by the fitter. Decent in wet, decent in dry and road noise good too although the vehicle is never driven excessively. One major problem, after 12,000 miles in 16 months they needed changing as they only just limped through an mot. Wear was even across the tyres, no inner, outer or middle uneven wear. Never again. Back to Bridgestones.

Given 44% while driving a Mitsubishi Outlander (225/55 R18) on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
Don't buy these only 2 at a time. These change in resistance or diameter once you speed up, causing a 4WD system error". Also causes problems if you use them on PHEV Outlander.

Very worn just on the outside after 15,000 miles on the front. Still have the original tyres on the back after 45,000
