I might give the authors a pass if this was Consumer Reports or some other magazine whose readers are not likely to know much about performance tire sizing but this is from Car and Driver magazine whose readers are highly likely to know better and have an expectation for a reasonable level of technical excellence.

I believe these 2 guys are with Road & Track who recently announced they are closing their office in Newport Beach after 60 years there. The office is moving to Detroit, this should be the final move to get rid of the few remaining longtime journalists left at R&T, & C&D. I would guess the online tire test was targeted at increasing subscriptions from younger readers than the traditional audience. I'm out!
