Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
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, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
46/100From 3 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
66/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 3 owner reviews found online.
The Aplus A909 receives generally poor reviews from users, with significant concerns regarding wet weather traction and braking performance. While mounting and balancing are relatively straightforward, drivers express serious safety reservations due to unpredictable sliding and poor grip in damp or rainy conditions.
Pros
- Easy to mount and balance
- Acceptable dry weather grip for standard commuting speeds
Cons
- Significantly compromised wet weather traction and road holding
- Subpar braking performance in both wet and dry conditions
- Premature loss of confidence leading to early replacement
Worth knowing
- Lightweight vehicles, such as a 2002 Nissan Micra K11, struggle even more with traction due to low vehicle weight.
