The Tire Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tire 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 tire 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.

Latest Antares GRIP 60 ice Reviews

Given 69% while driving a Dodge ram 1500 (265/70 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Surprisingly decent for the money. I got these from a local shop last February and had them mounted for use this winter. Compared to the Toyo AT3 I ran last winter, the increased ice performance is noticeable. They aren't close to blizzak performance, but at a tax in price of $180.25 per tire with studs vs the blizzak LT at $396 per tire, I can live with that. Living in atlantic Canada, I've had the chance to test these in basically every condition imaginable, and while they aren't winning any awards, I'm also not dead and haven't crashed. I've even taken them into some mild offroading to take my dog into a quarry she loves to play in and they held up well. After 5000km they haven't worn noticeably and aside from 2 studs I ripped out climbing some rocks offroad, they haven't had any stud retention issues whatsoever. If you want a top of the line tire, this isn't it, but they do well enough for the cost that you can do much worse (and trust me, I've seen much worse winter tires for more money)
