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.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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 Turanza quiettrack vs Weatherpeak impression This is something that i googled recently but with no to little results. I used to ride on quiettrack but chose the Weatherpeak for the new set. It’s been less than a week but below is my impression. Weatherpeak is tad bit softer and absorbs the bumps better but in the expense of that pleasant firm, gliding feel of the quiettrack. Quiettrack is more direct and has better feedback. Quiettrack might be subtly more loud, but i don’t notice too much difference. Here is the interesting part. On a rainy day, wet surfaces and especially on asphalts, weatherpeak feels even softer and stickier. It gets you somewhat of a confidence on slippery roads. But again i do miss the firmer, gliding feel of quettrack. I think both are good tires, and i don’t regret the switch. If you are someone who has to have good feedback on touring tires, quiettrack prb is a better choice, but i can see one will argue weatherpeak is the well-rounded tire of the two. Other side note, quiettrack is a bit more expensive, but is also rated for 10k more mile use. Tires are usually due exchange by 5-6yrs, and i thought i couldn’t use that all 80k miles, so went with the 70k mile rated tire. Additionally, one of my quiettrack became laterally out of round, so it had to be replaced early and i wanted to give weatherpeak a try.”

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.
