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 Silverstone A/T 117 Special is widely regarded as a high-value, durable all-terrain tire that excels in longevity and off-road resilience for utility vehicles. While most users report excellent tread life and reliable performance on both bitumen and rugged terrain, a minority of users have experienced significant quality control issues regarding balancing and sidewall durability.
Pros
- Exceptional tread longevity and wear resistance
- High value for money compared to premium brands
- Strong performance on corrugated dirt roads and light off-road terrain
- Surprisingly quiet and comfortable on-road manners
Cons
- Reports of difficult balancing and steering wheel vibration
- Concerns regarding sidewall puncture resistance in extreme off-road conditions
- Potential for aquaplaning on wet bitumen
- Inconsistent tread contact patch depending on inflation pressure
Worth knowing
- Users with heavy-duty 4WDs like the Nissan Patrol and Mazda BT50 report excellent results for towing and long-distance touring.
- Some users noted that finding the correct tire pressure is critical to achieving an even contact patch and resolving vibration issues.
