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.

The Point S Summerstar 2 receives a predominantly negative reception from users, characterized by significant concerns regarding handling stability, wet-weather traction, and structural reliability. While a minority of owners appreciate the tire for its low price point and suitability for basic commuting or MOT compliance, the consensus highlights a lack of confidence in its performance and safety.
Pros
- Affordable price point
- Acceptable for basic, low-demand commuting
- Adequate for passing vehicle inspections (MOT)
- Comfortable ride quality in specific motorway conditions
Cons
- Poor wet-weather grip and high risk of aquaplaning
- Excessive road noise and whining sounds
- Unstable handling and vague steering feedback
- Concerns regarding structural integrity and premature tread wear
- Soft sidewalls leading to deformation under load
Worth knowing
- Users reported significant noise issues on larger vehicles like the Vauxhall Insignia (245/45-18), making long-distance driving fatiguing.
- Drivers of smaller city cars, such as the Toyota Aygo, noted acceptable dry grip but highlighted severe traction issues during wet starts.
- Performance-oriented vehicles, such as the Mercedes C-Class AMG, experienced poor wet-weather handling and rapid wear.
