Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community opinion on the Bridgestone WeatherPeak is largely divided. Drivers praise the tire for its wet traction, snow performance, comfortable ride, and low initial road noise compared to stock tires. However, many users report significant concerns regarding premature tread wear, dry rotting or cracking, noise increases over time, and notable drops in fuel/EV efficiency.
“Bridgestone WeatherPeak I bought the BridgeStone WeatherPeak in November. 3 days ago, my tire had 2 cuts like this. When I took it to the dealership they said it was due to some road hazard. Something on the road had cut the tires. They replaced it, and 2 days later another tire ripped, this time it was 1 cut instead of 2 like this. I went back to the dealership and they said the same thing again that, it was due to something on the road or someone slashed it. What is the real issue? I don't know enough about tires to answer this. Read more”

“Bridgestone Weatherpeak Long-term review I've had these tires for a year now, and they've truly disappointed me. I live in the Philadelphia area, so I decided on "3peak mountain" tires. Sometimes we can have a completely dry winter, and sometimes we can have a very snowy one. As for fuel efficiency, it has a positive point. I imagine that because it is high in silica (the main component of winter tires and efficient tires), it helps a lot and I think they have a rolling resistance similar to the Michelin Primacy (I think that in snow they soften a lot and are not efficient, but that's okay). So, as tire performance in winter conditions, they're really very good. No complaints! The problem comes in the summer or on wet, cool days. Accelerating and braking is a nightmare. They have poor traction on dry roads in the summer and very poor traction on wet roads. Plus, they've worn much faster than expected. Only 25,000 miles and they're already at 5/32 (they comes with 70k miles warranty but you cannot do a claim before 2/32). In short, I'd say this is a winter tire promoted by Bridgestone as "all-season." But I think isn't! Next tires? Probably Michelin or Vredestein Edit; I successfully filed a claim (THANKS COSTCO) but also as September of 2025, Costco decided to stop selling this garbage tires Read more”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
