Tire Reviews tests and data are used well beyond our own pages. The European Commission names us in a 2026 regulation, research for the Commission and at universities draws on our results, tire makers put our verdicts in their annual reports and adverts, and the motoring press has reported our tests in 12 languages.

Each source below links to the original, and we read every one before adding it. The line under each says what the source does with our work and no more: a tire maker reporting a win for its own tire is not independent praise, and a student's thesis is not the view of the university.

Regulators and public bodies

Public bodies use Tire Reviews as a reference on tire brands and on choosing tires. These documents use our classification or data as one source among several, which is a citation, not an endorsement.

Research and universities

Researchers working for and with the European Commission, and students at universities across Europe, use our test data and reports. Where the underlying test was run by Auto Bild, ADAC or another publication and reported by us, the entry says so.

Tire makers

Tire makers cite our results in annual reports, investor presentations, press releases, adverts and product pages. A maker reporting a win for its own tire is not independent praise, but it shows the industry treats our results as evidence. Makers have no say in our results, and we have never accepted payment for one: the rules are in Ethics and independence.

Frequently asked questions

Has Tire Reviews been cited by regulators or in research?

Yes. The European Commission's 2026 anti-dumping regulation on car and light truck tires from China names Tire Reviews among the specialized websites it used to classify tire brands into tiers. A draft preparatory study for the Commission's tire ecodesign rules uses our comfort rating as its example, and researchers at the Commission's Joint Research Center have analyzed our data in a published paper and in a presentation to the UNECE task force on vehicle sound. Theses at Cardiff University, Brno University of Technology and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University use our reports.

Which tire makers cite Tire Reviews?

Michelin, Continental, Pirelli, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Hankook, Nokian Tyres, Apollo Tyres (Vredestein), Falken, Dunlop and Maxxis have cited our results in their own publications. Continental and Pirelli do so in their annual reports, Nokian Tyres, Pirelli and Apollo in investor presentations, and Goodyear describes Tire Reviews as "a leading source of independent tyre information".

Which publications have reported Tire Reviews tests?

Jonathan Benson has been featured as a tire expert on BBC Radio 4, in Top Gear Magazine and MotorTrend. Motor1, Jalopnik, Carscoops, Road & Track, Popular Mechanics, evo, The Drive, CarThrottle and InsideEVs have reported our tests, as have publications in Norway, Italy, Spain, Poland, Croatia, Slovakia, Portugal, Serbia, Greece, Sweden and Canada.

Does a citation mean the organization endorses Tire Reviews?

No. A citation shows that an organization used our results or data as evidence, which is why we list it, but it is not an endorsement. Each entry says what the source does with our work, and where a source reports a test that another publication ran, or uses a single figure from us, the entry says that too.
