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 95% while driving a Honda City 1.5 VTI (175/65 R15) on mostly town for 500 average miles
I only used michelin before on my Honda city but this time 15 inches michelin were not available..... So went for the pirelli p6 thinking it to be the next best thing and boy I was proved right... They are excellent tires in all the parameters but noise.... How can any tire produce so much noise.... Comfort drastically improved Handling improved Control improved Mileage might have gone down but not sure Overall very much satisfied The second best after michelin in my opinion

Given 57% while driving a Honda Civic (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
Terrible tires. Absolutely noisy. I'm a master tech myself and the noise and vibrations caused by these tires made me check my suspension components for problems. Will not recommend.

Tires are good handling wet dry wear ok. They have significant drone noise at 60+mph

Given 10% while driving a Nissan Cube (195/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
I changed the original tires of the car after 3 years of normal wear out and replaced them in October 2015 with Pirelli Cinturauto P6 tires. I drive an average of 10,000 miles per year, the air pressure in the tires is the correct one as specified by the car, and I drive on country roads but very carefully. In December 2016 the right front tire showed a bulge on its sidewall so I replaced it immediately with another Cinturauto P6. In January 2017 the left front tire showed a similar bulge on its sidewall so I replaced it immediately with another Cinturauto P6. In May 2017 this left front tire which had been replaced in January 2017 showed once again a similar bulge on its sidewall so, once again, I replaced it with another Cinturauto P6. And now, in November 2017 the back right tire has exploded, I was not aware if there had been a bulge in the sidewall of this right back tire as I would have replaced it immediately if I had seen one.

Pirelli blames my driving and does not offer me any warranty.

I blame Pirelli because I don't think a tire should be so delicate and because I never had any problems with the original tires of the car with a similar type of driving.

As the tires have been failing one at a time I have had to keep replacing the defective tires for the same model but this last explosion has scared me and I am going to replace all four tires with others that are not so delicate.

Given 79% while driving a Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 i (175/65 R15 T) on mostly town for 24,000 average miles
On the under-powered Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 ,seemed give rather plenty of grip.(it was dificult to spin From Still ! )
Good Feedback and Good cornering control.Little plush on corner in , even though the had rather fat chik.(65).In wet they weren't as good though
Good performance in braking (Fiat has really bad ABS controller and maybe i ve underestimated) I suppose they could be better in wet.didnt like that
Comfort is liitle of compromise, probalby due to the strenghed sidewalls to provide good steering Feel.
Really good treadwear over 4 years on the car and they were handling efficiently at the last kilometers of their life
Under winter condition bellow 8 Degree Celcius, they were acting poorly, the handling was hitten for good
In some snow test, i ve tried they were complete unuasable

Would buy again the P7 blue probably if road noise in not the problem

Given 100% while driving a Rover 400 (185/60 R14 H) on mostly town for 35,000 spirited miles
Best tire i ever driven.Spectacular grip even when wet didnt seem to lose any directional grip or feel of the road.Lasted pretty well long,consider that i drove the car every day for 4 years and most of the time agressively
Best low budjet(but with great performances)Pirelli produced in my opinion.

Given 77% while driving a Ford (225/45 R15) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
After 10,000 miles in 6 months, driving on various roads the tires have barely worn. I'm pleased with them and would buy again. No idea how they would perform in the snow.

They have been filled with nitrogen so the pressures have barely changed over this period.

Given 51% while driving a Ford Focus mk2 (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 20,000 easy going miles
These tires were a big dissapointment. Tried them after Bridgestone Turanza that came with my new Ford.

The most disappointing thing is that they are very hard, and this affects their grip a lot. after only a few months they started spinning and loose grip easily on every case the city road was old and overused.

Now, 4 years after I bought them and only 20.000 miles, the front tires are not significantly worn, but hard as rocks and full of wringles and cracks.

And of course they are terrible in noise and mpg.. Sorry, I will never buy them again..

Given 39% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 1.9 Tdi (195/65 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
I have a golf V 1.9 TDI and I can say that they are rubbish: only 15000 miles and this tires are completly ruined. When you drive, the noise reminds you how this tire are awful. Pirelli says the cinturato are eco-tires: they're just not!!!! With Nokian winter tires I did better mpg that with the cinturato.
If you want a proper tire DO NOT BUY this! Buy Michelin, Continental or go by foot!

Given 81% while driving a Ford Fiesta (185/60 R14) on mostly motorways for 5,000 average miles
I got a 2001 Diesel Ford Fiesta I used as my work horse towing Car's on my A-frame and caravans. (Yes I did say cars and caravans with a fiesta). I need safety and grip when you got something riding your rear bumper. I cant comment on noise cos its a noisy car anyway and fuel economy isnt abled to be worked out cos I tow and that just throws it off. COmfort, my fiesta isnt comfortable. All I cared about was wet grip and dry grip. And they never once made me feel unsafe and were worth the money. I think they wear down slightly more than I thought but that could be because I do put them through their paces when towing so no comment. I would buy these again, yes.

Very satisfied with the Pirelli P6 (on an Alfa 147).
I have covered 93,000 Km (in 5 years) with the Pirelli P6's on my Alfa 147 and the tires still perform great as they were brand new. Excellent dry grip, handling and performance. Very satisfied with the wear and handling. Very good tires.

Given 97% while driving a Ford Fiesta (195/50 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Fantastic set of tires that I'd definitely get again.

What prompted me to get a new set of tires was my car sliding on a roundabout one morning while not travelling at anywhere near excessive speed which shocked me a little bit. They were cheap and nasty tires. I've since been around this same roundabout in dry, wet and snowy conditions on these new tires without any issue.

I've 'tested' the tires a few times on empty roads/bends (in the wet and dry) and I've never once got close to their limit.

They're also great on the motorway in torrential conditions and last week I gave them a run for their money in a deserted Bluewater car park in ~ 4" snow and I swear I was driving on winter tires, it was as if the snow wasn't there.

Sure they're a little noisier then the previous set but I do have a terrible Ford Fiesta Mk6 which clearly has no sound proofing whatsoever as you can hear road/tires, wind and engine all as if there was no car around you. Minor negative for me.
