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 47% while driving a Yamaha Xmax 300 (145/70 R14) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Been plagued by punctures. They are so soft that a small staple used for paper punctured the tire. The rear tire has been punctured 7 times now and all by very thin bendable wire, less that 2mm thick. Will be going for a stronger option now.

Excellent in dry but have slipped more than enough times these are poor in the wet when turning at speeds 15-30 mainly around corners and rounder bouts so be careful. Apart from that they are solid in dry and have hardly worn after 7k miles in 13 months of use.

Given 71% while driving a Suzuki Burgman 400 (155/70 R13) on mostly town for 1,370 easy going miles
Nearing 2500km with these tires. The main issue has been for me the wet performance. I am already a cautious rider, mostly riding casually and these tires on wet surfaces force me to be even more careful. It gets even worse with a pillion. The fact that I have to watch out for the tire rather than the opposite is pretty annoying in itself. Coming from almost 6000km on Anakees to these felt like a downgrade.

The dry performance on the other hand feels good but there is a caveat, building up heat somewhat feels longer compared to most other brands' tires. So, if you want to throw your scooter around for some fun, you need to ready the tires first properly.

In terms of comfort, as long as you stick to the recommended pressures, they carry you well. I live in a city with a pretty bad asphalt maintenance and they held up well so far in this regard.

Given 46% while driving a Yamaha Xmax 300 (145/70 R14) on mostly town for 5,900 average miles
On dry weather it's alright. On wet weather is shit. About 7000km in the rear slips alot even when im going slow thru corner about 40km/h - 50km/h. Tire lasted about 9500km before it needs to be changed. Ride feels harder then other tires. Felt every small bumps and going thru humps can be quite harsh.

Given 41% while driving a (130/80 R15) on mostly town for 15,000 easy going miles
I bought a pair years ago, despite mediocre reviews. They instantly felt slippery on various surfaces and conditions, especially in curves. Totally plastic in cold weather and dangerous on wet.
Still, considering the fact I'm just a commuter, I didn't take my opinion too seriously.
Recently I bought just the rear one because they had it in stock. It is even worse!
Nobody should waste their money on this dangerous piece od plastic.

Given 90% while driving a Honda SH150i (120/80 R16) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
+ Very good sporty tire. Excellent grip wet or dry. Great lean angles. Inspires confidence.

- Very soft compound hence the grip. Prone to Punctures.
