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

The Event GL695 is widely regarded as a poor-performing budget tire that struggles significantly in wet conditions. While some users find them acceptable for casual, dry-weather driving, the consensus points toward dangerous handling characteristics, excessive road noise, and rapid tread wear.
Pros
- Low initial purchase price
- Acceptable performance for very casual, steady driving in dry conditions
- Predictable breakaway behavior in some dry scenarios
Cons
- Dangerous levels of understeer and poor grip on wet surfaces
- Excessive and intrusive road noise on non-smooth tarmac
- Rapid or inconsistent tread wear
- Negative impact on fuel efficiency
Worth knowing
- Users driving compact hatchbacks, such as the Seat Ibiza, reported significant dissatisfaction with wet-weather handling.
- The tire's performance is frequently compared unfavorably to mid-range alternatives like Goodyear and Hankook.
