Yes possibly, though they are large enough and well respected that I'm going to not put a lot of weight in a conspiracy theory. Have you read their review before speculating though? There's lots of hard numbers in it, so it's not like it's an empty review without stats...

Where possible, I tried to read multiple reviews, to see if the findings are consistent.

Your point however still doesn't address the shortcoming of the test you quoted, in that one of the top-selling winter tires has been strangely left out of the comparison... That smells more fishy to me than a test where at least both are tested! LOL.

Can you point me to a review where both tires have been tested?
