Consumer Reports Tire List ?

doc1911 · 10-01-2007, 07:00 PM

At the dentist office today and I looked through Consumer Reports (Nov '07 I think). They rated tires. In the Ultra Hight Performance section they had the Falken Zien ZE-912 as 1st ($123 ea) and the Nitto Neo Gen ZR as 2nd ($92 ea I think). Anyone run these?

I am looking into new tires and was going to go with the Michelin PS2 but they are ranked 7th and $203 ea. I think Generals and Continentals were ranked higher. Any thoughts?

I haven't seen the article, but as a general statement CR puts heavy emphasis on "bang for the buck."

I think the Falkens and Nittos were first in the high performance all season category.

The Michelin PS2 tires were first in the high performance summer category.
