One of the most rewarding and encouraging things about testing the tires for this review was realizing that truth in advertising is still a thing! Among the 10 tires we reviewed, we found the manufacturer’s descriptions of their tires and specs to be pretty spot-on overall. Although it’s easy to find user reviews that claim a particular tire’s specs are way off; or, that a particular tire is impossible to mount, prone to frequent punctures, lacking durability, etc., our test rides over hundreds of miles in all kinds of terrain and weather (including a little snow), showed that these tires performed as advertised, and beautifully. The truth is that the top tire manufacturers we selected for our tests ALL make great, high-quality, high-performing tires.
