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.
Ranking
A score backed by only a few reviews or tests is pulled toward the typical score before ranking, so a 95 from a dozen reviews can rank below a 92 from hundreds.
