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
60/100From 1 owner review analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
59/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 1 owner review found online.
The Star Performer UHP 3 receives a mediocre assessment based on reports of premature structural degradation. Users have expressed significant concerns regarding the long-term durability of the tire compound under normal operating conditions.
Cons
- Premature cracking of the tire shoulders
- Poor long-term durability despite significant remaining tread depth
Worth knowing
- The reported failure occurred within six months of use, suggesting potential issues with rubber compound stability regardless of vehicle application.
