Reply to "17" Tires: Options getting fewer & and your opinion on 285/40/17 size?"

I have a hard time with the final results of many of these tests. When you look at what made the tire score low, most often its because it doesn't represent what the tire is intended for. Take for example the Kuhmo tire (keep in mind I'm biased as they are on my car) but it scored lower than others based on the poor / wet weather traction. Who cares I say!! My car is never intentionally driven in the wet and if I do get caught in inclimate weather I drive so slow it doesn't matter. But what does matter is that it was the only tire to pull more than 1.0 Gs of lateral excelleration. That should make it the winner.
With that said and my rant over, I'm bummed that they are on back order, hopefully I can find some more.
