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
70/100From 152 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
56/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The Toyo Celsius general consensus highlights it as a dependable, budget-friendly all-weather tire that excels in winter and snow conditions while delivering a comfortable and quiet ride. While the majority of users praise its value and confident handling across varying weather, a few note compromises in wet braking, steering response, or accelerated tread wear compared to premium competitors.
Pros
- Exceptional snow and winter weather performance
- Quiet and smooth ride quality
- High value for money compared to premium brands
- Confident dry and wet handling for daily commuting
Cons
- Some complaints regarding wet traction and hydroplaning resistance
- Softer sidewalls can lead to a bouncy feel or slower steering response
- Faster tread wear reported by certain users compared to competitors like Michelin
Worth knowing
- Drivers replacing stiff run-flat tires on smaller hatchbacks like Minis reported a massive improvement in comfort, handling, and stability.
- Compact and front-wheel-drive vehicles (such as Suzuki Swifts and Ford Fiestas) benefited greatly from the specialized size availability and winter capability.
