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.

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 26 owner reviews found online.
The Tigar High Performance is widely regarded as a high-value budget tire that benefits from Michelin's manufacturing technology. While most users praise its dry and wet handling, comfort, and noise levels, a subset of owners reports significant performance degradation as the rubber ages, specifically noting a hardening of the compound and reduced grip in cooler temperatures.
Pros
- Excellent price-to-performance ratio
- Strong dry and wet road handling
- Low noise levels and high ride comfort
- Predictable performance for daily driving
Cons
- Significant loss of grip in temperatures below 15°C
- Compound hardening and potential cracking over time
- Soft sidewalls can lead to vague handling in high-speed corners
- Inconsistent performance longevity
Worth knowing
- Users with smaller, lighter vehicles like the Skoda Fabia and VW Passat report generally positive experiences with daily commuting and highway use.
- Drivers of mid-sized hatchbacks noted that the soft sidewalls are noticeable during spirited cornering, suggesting the tire is better suited for comfort-oriented driving than performance applications.
