I'll read reviews with some skepticism.
That's always a good idea. Here's my experience with reviews. IMHO, Consumer Reports is worthless - it's an outdated publication with a limited scope of models of merchandise with opinions provided by professional reviewers.

OTOH, I've bought all my tires in the past 25 years from Tire Rack. Their website is an excellent resource for making comparisons of tires. The cumulative user reviews are accurate, if you take everything that is said about a particular model into account and weigh it for yourself. I've not been the least bit disappointed in the tires I've bought. They have all been entirely accurate as evaluated, both in their positive and marginally negative attributes.
