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
63/100From 7 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
13/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
By discipline: % of the best tire in each test.

The Toyo Snowprox S943 receives a polarized reception, with users divided on its winter capabilities. While some drivers appreciate its fuel efficiency and handling in cold, dry, or wet conditions, others report significant safety concerns regarding traction in deep snow and on ice.
Pros
- Strong fuel efficiency and low rolling resistance
- Reliable handling in cold, dry, and wet road conditions
- Good tread longevity for some driving styles
- Competitive price-to-performance value
Cons
- Poor traction and grip in snow and icy conditions
- Increased noise levels, particularly when cornering
- Inconsistent performance in wet conditions, specifically regarding hydroplaning
- Noticeable degradation in grip when temperatures rise above 15 degrees Celsius
Worth knowing
- Users suggested the tire may be better suited for smaller vehicles rather than midsize sedans, where snow performance was noted to be lacking.
- Drivers with sport-tuned suspensions reported a lack of road feedback, suggesting the tire may not pair well with performance-oriented chassis setups.
