lists dusturb me.
I narrowed it down to t-rated or better (say bye to 13s and 14 inch wheels)
a weight rating at least half of the car for one tire (ie: 1987 subaru is 2750pounds..one tire equeals 1356 pounds in the weight rating)
directional tread is good, but more money...
...and knowledge is many more than a list....much more than a marketer can stab into our pathetic lost minds.. and well, don't want to sound "extreme" if ya know what I mean.
tests are great for the testers locale, roads, temperature, car design, and even day of steel content year...
I would humor the prius comparison, as my engine is within 10hp, the weight, etc. It does not work for everybody.
