Ahh! I mentioned the F-word. What time does Gay Boy Gixxer get back from work?

That said, Omega does need very different tyres to, for example MR2. Apparently, Falkens are really good on MR2

Every car reacts differently to different tyres, and everybody has different demands, so I think most of these tyre surveys are not worth the effort.

its been many days I'm reading consumer surveys about tires.. and I concluded that , depending on measurable units such as brake distance, cornering g etc more important than user views.. they only mislead :-/

I'm lucky enough to drive many Omegas, all with different tyres (and many with incorrect geometry ), which gives me a small advantage when it came to choosing tyres.

I was a bit lost when my beloved Dunlop SP9000's became obsolete, but am pleased with the choice I made.

no problem with the previous tire if you are satisfied but when reading especially my countries sites thousand users thousand views and half is 'dangle berries'

I'm interested to see the place where all this data came from.

ok here is the story.. today tried to buy adrenaline for the small one.. nope .. they tried to sell me 2008 tires .. and at least I need to wait 1 month.. called the customer relations .. all they give me is a stupid number.. then searched alternatives .. was looking yokohama advan neova.. but only find ac01 instead.. and searched the net for test results.. and found this ( was a good luck).. and I cant find now

I'm only interested 'cos some of those results just sound complete garbage to me.

Yep, just took a look ta.

I think it only reinforces my belief that tyres are way too much of a subjective topic.  It's a good idea of theirs to have the survey but similarly it's too much down to personal opinion or even manipulation by the makers if they were so minded.

nope.. its a measurable science in fact.. and I dont think talking by previous experience with personal views is a good idea.. test is a test..  view is a view..

I disagree, as feedback is a hugely important measure that is always subjective

Feedback prevents the need to subject the tyre/car to the maximum test (or exceed it  )

[bluey]

Er, nope. 

The results in that table are derived from data collated using personal views.  It's gathered from a range of people who give their subjective view of the performance of a tyre they have allegedly used, alongide some quantitative data on location and vehicle which has obvious bearing on the data they publish.  The scores are collated and then averaged out.  Too much apples v oranges going on for the data to be definitive and meaningful.

At best it's a bit of a guide, but I'd disagree with some of the placings.
