A good read. Especially if you own a BMW 325 and need new tires. Their review is somewhat subjective and based on one car and tire size. It left me wondering about road noise and comfort and if the numbers would vary with tread width, profile and vehicle weight. Would a good tire for a RWD car also be the best rubber for a FWD car. Is there a difference ?
Seeing as C&D is making money from their review they should verify their findings in a lab setting. A test rig with a dyno that can measure Gs and noise dynamically and evaluate comfort using a bump roller.
