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 Tigar Prima is widely regarded as a budget-oriented tire that delivers inconsistent performance, often failing to meet the expectations of drivers seeking reliable handling. While some users appreciate its low noise levels and affordability, the consensus points toward poor wet-weather traction and rapid tread wear as significant drawbacks.
Pros
- Low noise levels during highway driving
- High value for money for budget-conscious buyers
- Acceptable ride comfort for daily commuting
Cons
- Poor wet-weather braking and handling performance
- Rapid tread wear and soft rubber compound
- Unpredictable handling characteristics in cornering
- Inconsistent quality control compared to other budget brands
Worth knowing
- Users operating heavier vehicles, such as the Mercedes E220 CDI Estate, reported higher satisfaction levels compared to those driving lighter, performance-oriented vehicles like the Alfa 155.
- The tire's soft compound leads to accelerated wear, with some users reporting 50% tread loss in as little as 10,000 kilometers.
