You cannot tell by a tire's appearance if it's good. Consumer Reports conducts extensive tire tests to help you buy the right ones for your car. Learn more about tires and car care on our website: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/tires-auto-parts/tires/index.htm?EXTK...

  • Actually you can tell a LOT about how a tire will perform by just looking at it. Size, compound, wear rating, siping, tread pattern, traction rating, warranty mileage, etc.

  • Shouldnt she be giving reviews on kitchen utensils

  • W Rated Load Range E Low Profile RFT' Winter tires on my '82 Olds! Best decision ever.

  • I bet the test track is situated in a large kitchen

  • i wanna work there!!

  • @panadevulpe Oh really, well here in nothern sweden where we don't use salt for the roads and just drive on the ice and snow, makes miracles on the slippery surface. An All season tyre in sweden is worthless, not much grip on ice and the rubber is to soft for the summer roads. The solucion, 1 set summer tires and 1 set wintertires.

  • @consumerreports Could you guys spell out exactly the problems with changing speed rating? My OEM tires were only "T" rated and not many performance tires have that rating. I'd like to understand exactly the risk I would be taking with a higher speed rating. Thanks.

  • Wow 6 minutes of talking and they don't even tell us about the tire brands.

  • At 5:00, They look like Michelin Hydroedge vs Falken Ziex ZE-512

  • @lockheed22 Agreed.
