Methodology for evaluating technical indicators
Sources
The sources correspond to companies that independently compare tires on the basis of a constant methodology, including the maximum number of tire quality criteria, and give objective estimates based on test results for a group of similar tires depending on the type of use.
This database includes only those sources that meet these criteria. These criteria also apply to each source test.
Sources used to determine tire performance:
- Test results published in specialized publications.
- Data obtained according to Regulation (EC) 1222/2009 “On tire marking in relation to fuel efficiency and other essential parameters”. Or Ratings used in tire labeling (MOBS *) in the absence of official data.
- Data published by independent testing laboratories.
A detailed list of sources (with the exception of EU Regulation 1222/2009) used to evaluate the rating of each product is attached to the publication. Visit tiredealersites.com for more detailed guide and other tire reviews.Assessment Scheme
The final assessment consists of 9 basic indicators, which are supplemented by 4 other basic indicators for winter tires.The basic indicators are divided into 5 groups: 3 - for summer tires, 2 - for winter tires.
Each base indicator occupies a different weight coefficient in its group based on the degree of its significance in the category.
Calculation method
Each base indicator is evaluated according to the following principle:- A rating of 10 points is assigned to the tire that received the best result for a particular test.
- The rating of other tires decreases in proportion to the obtained standard deviation of the discriminant.
- All results exceeding 9 times this standard deviation, get a score of 1.
If the source uses its own rating system (which is not based on a 10-point system), then linear recoding is performed.
The final assessment of the basic indicators will be based on the arithmetic average of the estimates obtained from the results of each test.
Note: tests carried out by car magazines or specialized organizations are usually based on the most common sizes on the market. Despite the fact that the tire performance may vary slightly depending on the size, we preferred to assign an assessment of the entire size panel of a particular tire model.
