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
19/100From 16 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Silverstone M5 Synergy is widely regarded as a poor-performing tire, particularly in wet and cold conditions where users report severe traction loss and dangerous aquaplaning. While some owners acknowledge its affordability and suitability for low-speed, dry-weather commuting, the consensus is that the tire's lack of safety and high noise levels make it an unsuitable choice for most drivers.
Pros
- Low purchase price and high affordability
- Acceptable performance for low-speed, dry-weather city driving
- Low rolling resistance contributing to fuel economy
Cons
- Extremely poor wet-weather traction and high risk of aquaplaning
- High levels of road noise and harsh ride quality
- Poor structural integrity, including reports of sidewall cracking, bubbling, and premature deformation
- Unpredictable handling characteristics that provide little warning before losing grip
Worth knowing
- Users driving smaller, economy-focused vehicles (e.g., Nissan Micra) find the tire acceptable for basic daily commuting, provided they avoid wet conditions.
- Drivers of slightly more powerful vehicles report that the tire's lack of grip is exacerbated, leading to dangerous handling characteristics even at moderate speeds.
