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

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 7 owner reviews found online.
Reviews of the Starfire Solarus AS are mixed but lean slightly positive, with owners praising its value, dry-road manners and even wear, while others report poor winter traction and a shorter-than-expected tread life. It appears to be a budget-friendly all-season that suits dry conditions best.
Pros
- Good value, described as 'pretty good tires for the price range'
- Strong dry-road performance
- Pleasant driving character, with one owner reporting even wear and a willingness to buy again
- Fast delivery was noted by one buyer, though this relates to the retailer rather than the tire
Cons
- Poor snow traction, with snow packing in the treads and turning to ice, leaving little grip
- Wet-road handling requires caution, with a reviewer advising against speeding and sharp turns in the rain
- Short tread life, with one owner reporting end-of-life wear (3-4mm) after about 14 months and 17,000 miles, well short of the mileage warranty
- Reportedly hard to find in some markets
Worth knowing
- No vehicle models or tire sizes were provided in any of the five reviews, so no vehicle- or size-specific conclusions can be drawn.
- The snow complaint came from a driver in the Chicago suburbs, suggesting the tire may struggle in harsh winter climates.
