Again, CR Mag is a guideline for consumers to follow, it's not gospil. Although I have 2 of the top 3 tires listed in "that particular" CR tire rating. The Hankook Optimo H727('06 Mazda3) and the Pirelli P4('04 Altima 2.5 S). Our '01 Lexus RX-300 is using the G/Y ACT's which are not on that CR List
I really love the P4's on my Altima(205-65-16). Wish I would have gotten the 225-60-16 instead!
I could go on and on about these P4 tires and how they work on my particular Altima and how I drive. I use'em only in the winter on the OE steel wheels...What winter?
I bought the P4s based on TireRack's consumer reviews for A/S tires for snow/ice use. CR Mag show completely different. They're great in the snow/ice. This is my 4th winter; if you can call this year a winter. But, in the past 3 winters, they were great in all types of deep snow and slush and ice. Wonderful!
I don't notice any loss in MPG compared with the OE Continentals and as again, CR show "High Rolling Resisitance" and only so-so "Tread Life. Haaaaaa! I love these Pirelli P4 tires! And I have not yet had to have them rebalanced! And also, I love this particular Altima.
I could write a long review on these tires and all of the pro's(many) and con's(few)
I know, each case is different!
