    They are an original equipment tire OE. Tire Rack can only test so many tires. :) I traded emails with someone omg their testing team and he said they are conducting a new test using LRR tires. I'll post it up when they release the data if some doesn't beat me to it.

    EP20 come in very limitted sizes, maybe only 195/65R15. We got some on our second gen Civic Hybrid, which is still in the family. No issues, LRR, decent traction. I believe they are very similar to Bridgestone Insignia SE200_02, which we had as OEM on that Civic. They are ok in winter, typical all-season performance in snow. When new... Once down to 5~6 32's remaining tread depth, they are pretty bad in snow.
