Consumer-based website publishes online reviews of tyres
ERJ staff report (DS)
Cyberspace -- Since 2000, consumers across Europe have been reviewing their tyres on a dedicated website. The site, Tyretest.com, allows individuals to post reviews of their tyres and also allows others to search those reviews to obtain (theoretically) unbiassed reviews of tyres they are thinking about purchasing.
The site offers a range of categories: 4x4 tyres; All season tyres ; Summer car tyres; Winter car tyres; Commercial vehicle tyres - vans and light trucks and Motorcycle tyres.
Reviewers are asked for their views on performance, wet-, dry- and snow-grip, braking, comfort, noise and wear rate. Price, Rolling resistance and appearance are not part of the basic format, although consumers can refer to these in the comment section.
