Tire rack does their own testing.
Customers can post reviews too.
I just compaired prices of the other "grand touring all season" all season tires in 225/55R17 and 225/60R17 (hyundai sonata sizes) and the yokohama ascends are $30 to $80 dollars per tire cheaper than the other ones.
The main test it didn't do so well in was wet traction.
So you can slow down 5 to 10 mph in the rain if your speed limit is 70mph or higher or you can pay a lot more for the tires just so you can burn more gas.
Usually wet traction is not a problem for me living in eastern newmexico, driving around west texas and near mexico.
