The "Tire Reviews" website is just some
unknown Amazon re-seller affiliate, and they are
anonymous. They don't identify who they are. I wouldn't take reviews from anonymous sources.
Tire Rack, on the other hand, has real reviews, a real reputation for years, and also outlines what tests they run and what cars they use in some detail. Trust Tire Rack, not this anonymous fluff from 'Tire Review', as they seem to just be
editing marketing statements from the tire makers from what I've read.
That site is Discount Tires's review site and has subjective bits that in my experience I've found accurate and/or helpful. Ultimately, it doesn't matter how empirical the test is if it doesn't perform similarly on the different car that someone owns. IMO, you can get a baseline, subjective reading but I would feel uncomfortable giving someone a recommendation based on a TR test if the car is significantly enough different than the test mule used by TR.
I've had the experience of the "glowing review" on TR only to perform like a POS on my vehicle which is not a 3 series BMW. In that sense, trust is relative.
