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 96% while driving a Renault twingo (185/60 R13) on a combination of roads for 8,000 spirited miles
These tires are amazing, since the day I discovered them I only used in my car, the control in dry and wet make me feel so comfortable that I do not need to adjust much my driving style for any condition, I basically love those tires. Big fan

Given 56% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 TDI (185/55 R14 H) on mostly town for 10,000 average miles
These are not great, its not till I replaced these with about 50% tread left on them have I noticed how bad they really are.

The dry grip is nor bad and perfectly safe, but wet is not confidence inspiring and aquaplaning can be quite scary.

They are also quite a harsh ride and the rather noisy.

Given 87% while driving a MG MGTF (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 12,000 spirited miles
Running these for 18 months - good choice. Wear is barely visible, road feel is very good and the ride is good as well - note my car! Would certainly have Nexen again.

Given 86% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa (185/55 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 23,000 average miles
Had these tires fitted all-round last summer. Impressed with the Eagle F1 look and the cheap price (on offer at the time for ?28.90 each, delivery only.
Living in the sticks they give good feedback on the country roads, and fare very well on the motorway (100+ miles a day).
Will be putting these on my car again...at the right price.
Had these inflated to 40PSI since new and the uneven wear that others have experianced has not affected me.

Check out how the BEST all seasons tires perform against premium summer and winter tires!
Given 54% while driving a Ford Fiesta (195/50 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Got these as an emergency replacement on the front of my '05 Fiesta. Great when new, plenty of grip and good in the wet. BUT as soon as they had worn enough for the side tread sipe to dissappear, the grip on wet roundabouts just disappeared! If you look at the tread, the middle is actually deeper than the edges, meaning they need changing well before they wear to the legal limit. having them changed wuth 4mm of tread left is not exactly good!

Given 93% while driving a Renault Clio 1.5 DCi 65 (185/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
First bought these tires without knowing anything about them. Have now bought them again on 2 seperate occasions. The pair I have fitted to the rear of my clio still look almost new after 12 months and around 15,000 miles. Have just replaced the fronts after 20,000+ miles on a FWD 1.5DCi.
Got the new pair for a shade under ?94 all in. Absolute bargain and I definitely recommend them.

Given 76% while driving a Rover 200Di (185/55 R15 V) on mostly country roads for 5,000 average miles
Was offered these to substitute Falkens just before Xmas and I think I was lucky to agree being suspicious about their low price. Was able to drive in snow in January on the roads where only tractors and 4x4 could be found. Not sure about the wear as too early. Wet grip is fine.

Have these tires fitted on 2 Corsas. Are as good as the original factory fitted tires. Great value at around ?40 fitted.Have also proved good in snow.
