Good find on the CR charts. I will have to go find that article. I missed that they did UHP stuff last year. If you haven't read CR articles in the past, they do not have the same criteria as TR, so it is kind of apples to oranges, though notice the SPT and ZRI still end up right next to each other.
Notice the General's rating on ice and how other than hydroplaning, they are not good at anything else.
Heck none of the A/S are really good at much of anything in any conditions! (Who said that before?) The 4th from worst summer tire equals the best A/S in the wet!!! What a huge loss for some minuscule alleged snow performance.
I'll go find the article and see if it has anything interesting in it.
