They factor cost too heavily into the equation, and when it comes to some things (like say, winter tires) cost should not be a factor.
Um, while cost is listed, it has nothing to do with the data I am refering to. You can debate their "overall score", but thier data IMHO is above reproach. Thier scientific method has held up to intense scrutiny for years. Since they have no vested interest in the products they review, I would hold their results above an industry test such as TireRack...
