Thank you, that is very helpful.
Were your test results published?
Can you point us to other (published) tests of this type?
Enjoy
and another one: (same study different write up)
Both of these (and a whole bunch of others) are done in a 'controlled environment' and such a thing does not really exist on the road. The one thing that one needs to conclude (based on the data) is that there are clearly some trends that show, but the sample size is a bit too small (you got to test about 500ish tires to be confident that the deviations you do are true - plus you got to test like 5-10 different batches of tires so you do not have one bad sample-type results) to make statistically significant conclusions... Both those studies (and pretty much everything else I have seen) will not fly in a peer-reviewed publication.
