Those figures appear to be the same kind of survey as the JP Power ones for reliability, or the Towcar of the Year awards.  ie, flat cap brigade talking 'dangle berries'

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.

One person's view of a summer tyre in the snow is very different to the next.

A complete inability to drive and control a car in snow might get the best snow tyre slated

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 :-/

True enough. A BMWbad driver always blames his tyres.

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.
