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.

Horrendous tyres. In the wet they are just purely dangerous, huge amounts of understeer, very poor stopping distances and a feeling of complete lack of control. In the dry, when pushed even slightly they squeal, grip, again is poor. These tyres came fitted to a used car, and though nearly new, I was quick to get rid of them in favour of Falken FK510’s.

Given 30% while driving a Ford Mondeo ST220 (235/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
Never used the phrase ditchfinders before; however, if there is a tyre worthy of the title these are it. I drive a Mondeo ST220 estate and these tyres came with a set of Focus RS 19s I got on eBay. I've had the tyres on the car for a while now and I cannot stress how bad they are, the only reason they are still on is because I rarely drive the car and virtually never in the wet as it's a second/project car.

Dry grip, very poor, the car just wants to understeer and if I go near the throttle setting off I get tyre squeal.

Wet grip, what wet grip? These tyres are outright dangerous in the wet, they don't aquaplane too much, but again even with 220bhp I can spin the wheels up in third and it's a long geared car. The car just meanders about as it feels. I've driven with bald tyres that have better wet grip than these things.

On the plus side they have lasted alright (if you can see it as a plus side), as I was hoping they'd wear quicker so I would have an excuse to get them off my car faster.

The car is in for a load of suspension work next week so will be getting these off the car ASAP after that! I'm looking for Michelin Pilot Super Sports. No matter how cheap these things are they aren't worth it, even if you get offered a set for free, decline the offer they are that bad!

Dont buy

Given 28% while driving a Jaguar XF S (255/35 R20) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Just bought a secondhand Jaguar XF-S V6D

Bought it in the dry, didn't 'push' it though (if only I had!!!). In the wet it was shocking - looked at the tyres - Triangle! (Had never heard of them).

Concluded that an XF-S should be much more predictable, so got a set of Pirellis, car transformed, wet/dry/noise/comfort.

£800 well spent on the Pirellis. Who on earth would put that rubbish on a fast Jaguar? Beyond belief!

Rubbish, the poor old Picasso with handling like a boat at the best of times, didn't like these Chinese wonder tyres. Thrown away and replaced with Michelins. A move that could add years to your life expectancy. they were only fitted to the back mercifully. On Citroens the back usually tries to follow the front, since 1934!

Bought a used XFS low mileage etc drove home 100miles in the dry with a droning noise thought it maybe a wheel bearing when I got home checked tyres. Triangle - never heard of them. Day later it was raining (UK normal) 1st roundabout I get to suddenly I'm sideways only fast reactions saved the day. Just ordered a new set of Goodyear f1 Eagles anyone want a set of nearly new Triangles free. Oh sorry, I've thrown them away. At least I've saved someone's life.

Only had them for a couple months, (Triangle tyres from China) but regret buying them, very noisy on the highway, am thinking of getting a whole new set of tyres...only good thing was the price, but regret didn't but another brand, guess you get what you pay for. they are on my wife's car, and she has often mentioned the noise factor.. .

Given 77% while driving a Toyota MK2 MR2 NA (215/35 R18) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
I know a lot of people don't rate them but I found them an excellent choice on the front of my Toyota 1996 MR2. Being mid engine they suit the light front end of my car and has the added bonus of having a built in rim protector that most budget tyre don't have.
Unfortunate I now need a replacement due to a puncture rather then wear(4.5mm left after 10k).

Only driven 45 miles unbearable road noise, sounds like an old land rover on off road tyres, avoid if you can

Given 37% while driving a Mercedes Benz C 250Sport (225/45 R20 V) on mostly motorways for 25,000 spirited miles
My ex wife had 4 of these these fitted to my car and increased my life insurance, needless to say when it rains these tyres are deadly. If you value life pay another £40 per tyre

Given 59% while driving a Honda 2009 (225/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 30 average miles
These tires became very loud as they wore. They grip okay in dry weather, and not too good in wet weather. I have to accelerate very easy when raining. When turning, the tires always seem they want to slip. I also have to keep tire pressure at around 40psi to make the tires wear evenly. The only good thing about the tires is the cheap price. The tires have about 33,000 miles on them and still have about 5,000 miles left. You get what you paid for.

Dreadful tyres, no grip at all in the wet and damn right dangerous. Bought my car with these on them and can't wait to take them off. Rock solid tyre, no progressiveness at all, in the dry it feels like these are made of concrete and in the wet doesn't feel like there is even a tyre there. DO NOT BUY. Spend abit more money and survive.
