How it did in road tests

No owner reviews yet, so every score here comes from instrumented road tests.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, it uses that one.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each score is scaled across every tested tire: the average tire gets 70, the best 100. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we analysed (5 stars = 100), weighted by how many reviews each site gave us.
Retailer ratings
Each site's own average, over all the reviews it lists — usually more than we analysed, so it can differ from our owner score.
