When we spoke with Consumer
When we spoke with Consumer Reports' senior tire test engineer (Gene Petersen) he clarified for us that the best performing tires in winter conditions were winter-rated tires, not all-weather. In fact, Consumer Reports groups all-weather tires with grand touring tires, not winter-tires. Check out the December CR print edition for more details on individual models.
