All owner themes in the I Fit+ review

Tire B Winter I*cept Evo 4

Pros

  • Impressive ride comfort, with one reviewer rating it better than a summer Bridgestone Alenza and noting good damping of bump noise
  • Very quiet at city speeds, and in one review at all speeds including highways

Cons

  • Noise reportedly increases above about 100 km/h in one review, contradicting the quiet-at-all-speeds claim in another

How do we compare tires?

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.
