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
54/100From 75 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
58/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The Delinte DH2 is generally received as a surprisingly capable budget-friendly tire that offers good dry handling, a comfortable ride, and solid value for daily commuters. While most users praise its affordability and low noise levels, some experience drawbacks in wet weather traction, and a few note durability issues such as side cracking or bubbling.
Pros
- Exceptional affordability and value for money
- Quiet and comfortable ride quality
- Good dry traction and handling performance
- Balanced wear and reliable daily driving capabilities
Cons
- Reduced grip and confidence in wet, slick, or cold damp conditions
- Soft sidewalls that can feel a bit sloppy or give a flat appearance
- Durability issues reported by some users, including side cracks, bulges, and early wear
Worth knowing
- Drivers of sports cars like Mustangs and Corvettes noted that the tire struggles with traction under hard acceleration, particularly in wet conditions.
- Users running lower-profile or 19-inch sizes reported feeling more road bumps and experiencing higher noise or durability concerns.
