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.

Given 87% while driving a Honda CBR1000RR10 (190/55 R17) on track for 0 spirited miles
Only slicks are better than Dunlop D spec track focused tires on the track. Theyre also best used on track. They work on the road but Dunlops road tires work better

Fantastic tire which needs the right pressure, otherwise the tire will be done in 10 sessions, never had so much grip, fantastic.

Given 89% while driving a Honda Fireblade 1000 (190/55 R17) on track for 1,000 spirited miles
Track tire first, road tire second. This is what they're made for and this is what I need. Dry grip 2nd to none. Amazing turn in and feedback. There is no tire that gives better dry grip. Being a track biased tire you need a couple kms road riding for them to warm up after that theyve got more talent than you. Wear rate is normal for a track tire but beTter than racetecs od similar compound. My Medium D211s 60% longer than Racetec K2s

Given 88% while driving a Honda CBR600RR (180/55 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
best motorcycle tires ive ever had. unbelievable grip and super fast warm up times. even on road pressures its confidence inspiring and easy to get your knee down..midway through a turn its giving you so much feedback and you can really feel the grip. even if i ping open the throttle mid turn, the tires dont fuss..just grip and catapult me out of a corner. even standing starts at a stop light you can feel the added traction. cant wait to do a track day on these..kept reading about bad tire wear but its average for a soft tire like this. im running the endurance compound. everyone has to find a tire that suits them..i loved dunlops on my car..the sp9000s were amazing. similarly these tires are incredible. have not tried them in the wet yet though..but if you can afford it..definately go for these.

Given 83% while driving a Kawasaki ZX10r (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
These are absolutely brilliant, both on the track and road. Very quick warmup for road use, and not too bad in the wet for a full dry track tire. Wear is average, but again, not any better or worse than any other track tire I've used. Never found the limits of them on the road. Loads of feel and feedback when you start pushing them on the track. Only downside is they're pretty expensive here (nz)

These are a great tire for your bike. Warm up fast, get nice and sticky and feel great on. My only issue with them is when they are cold (in the first few minutes of riding) they're quite slippy. Lucky they warm up fast really!
