Consumer Digest has awarded tires from Yokohama Tire Corp. and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. with its “2009 Best Buys” designation.
Yokohama’s Geolandar H/T-S tire has been named a Best Buy in two tire
categories: All-Season SUV/Truck (Geolandar G051) and Performance SUV/Truck
(Geolandar G052).
For the
"Performance Car Tires" category, Goodyear’s Dunlop SP Sport
Signature is the leading Midrange selection. In addition, the Dunlop SP 60 is
the Economy choice in the "All-Season Car Tires" category.
The Goodyear Fortera TripleTred is the Premium choice in the
"All-Season SUV/Truck Tires" category.
For the "All-Season
Car Tires" category, Goodyear's Assurance TripleTred is the Premium
selection.
The Consumers Digest comparison list shows top-rated tires in Premium, Midrange and Economy segments.
The Best Buy list is chosen by its editors based on results
from independent testing, consumer surveys, technical experts and hands-on
evaluations.
Of the thousands of products that are evaluated by Consumers Digest, fewer than 3% meet the quality and value standards required by the magazine's editors to receive a Best Buy designation. The magazine claims a circulation of 1.25 million.
