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.

Top 3 Nexen CP672 Reviews

Given 42% while driving a Hyundai i40 tourer (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 100 average miles
I tend to always buy in the $100-150NZD range for my cars, this is the first time I am removing tires from my vehicle for any reason other than wear. Pros: Comfort is improved over the Kuhmo and Yokohama sets I have had on the car. Dry grip is acceptable for the price point. Cons: Wet grip is terrible and the reason these tires are leaving my car after a week. The car even in damp conditions (not wet) either understeers or loses traction. Wheel spin on slight uphill starts is noticeable and the only tires I have this issue. These are the only tires I have had that I am removing from my car because they give me no confidence.

Horrific in wet. Don't buy them

Hyundai Genesis 4.6 (235/50 R18) on mostly town for 0 easy going miles
I've bought 4 Nexen p672 tires for my Hyundai Genesis, they slip when I put the pedal all the way down, triggering the Electronic Stability Control. I then don't recommend these tires. Tires are now at end of life, have them for three years and still have decent bands.

Given 87% while driving a BMW 218d Active Tourer (245/45 R17 H) on a combination of roads for 30,000 spirited miles
Best cost vs. quality to me. Use on BMW e60 530i.

Given 87% while driving a Peugeot 4007 (2.2HDi) (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 26,000 easy going miles
had these on all 4 corners of a 4007/Outlander/CCrosser for 26 months.
covered about 26000 miles.
Front wore at on edges possibly down to wheel alignment. and as a result need replacing now.
Centre tread still at 3.5-4mm (well above tire wear indicators.)
still gripping well, just a little loss of confidence in feedback from steering at low speed.
country lanes and bends stick gripping well.
Rears, 26000 miles and counting, still going strong and plenty of tread left all across the tire.

Mostly rural driving and motorways, no issues in the wet or icy conditions.
being a rural driver they inspire confidence in off tarmac situation, mud/grass/water. pulled many a car or van out of fields.
The 2017-2018 winter was the first time i got to try them in snow.. (after so 18months/18000 miles worn)
no drama, snow, ice, slush, even compacted polished snow on hills.

not sure how much is the tire or how much is the car..
not quite as confident in snow (going down hill) as i was in my old Freelander with Michelin Synchrones.
(though that was with hill descent on. 4007 doesn't have that.)
but certainly capable.

never been stuck yet, even when i thought i might be, even with worn front edges.
smooth and quiet at motorway speeds.

Fitted to 2015 Korando 2.0 SE4. Just checked for wear on front after 27278 miles and have 4 to 5mm left.

Look pretty good to me.

I am using this tire in my car (in UAE) for nearly 2 years. The surprise factor is its mileage till date. It is done 110K Kilometers and still running with good grip. I was using Maxxis before it and I did 80K with that.

car SsangYong korando 14 plate 18"wheels only done 17k miles in it happy in all aspects with tires particularly pouring rain lots of it in the mountains of wales wear seems pretty good I had a suspension fault from new seized that must tell us something good, caster and camber well out and toe in all wrong did wear hedge of all tires but still safe to drive on them 5mm tread over 3/4 of tires width would recommend if you keep speed down to 70ish motorways and not going around corners like a lunatic, tires comfortable but a little noisy in bad rain car stable all the time iv never had it skid in the slightest tire test say CP672 my tires say premium CP672A don't know if different tire and mine say s&m on them. I am looking at going back to Good Year Efficiency safe better mpg gallon on my last car. hope this of some help
