Comments on: Hankook Optimo H727 rated number 2 (very good for most scores) on Consumer reports?

Comsumer Reports base a lot of their ratings on self-selected surveys of their readership. They have done reviews on pairs of cars, built by the same company and same people on the same assembly line, one Japanese badged, one rebadged to an American company -- with the American badged version failing. Due to their biased methods. Car magazines found the Samurai to be an excelent vehicle. Consumer Reports did a 1988 article that killed the Suzuki Samurai. Word was that some exec didn't like the little car and told the staff to make it fail. I have zero respect for anything published by the C.U..<br><b>References : </b><br> *Anyone* who claims they are unbiased is a Liar.

Thing is that Consumer Reports doesn't take money from anyone, never has. They don't even run ads so that they won't be bias. So I'd say that is very likely the quality of the testing that Consumer Reports gave them. Does that mean that everyone will have that quality? No, although it does say it is likely the DRIVER that is the problem.<br><b>References : </b><br> Don’t find it suspect at all.
