I personally think that Motor Trend is by far the worst of the car magazines...not much more than an advertising rag. I definitely would have a very low trust level for any review they did.
Reading reviews at places like TireRack can be frustrating, as there are as many opinions as there are users.

I think it is more informative to look at the aggregate ratings of all the reviewers (i.e. the page I linked to). I've found that those ratings track pretty much with the findings of the professional tire comparison tests. Also note that Tire Rack does professional tire comparison road + track tests which are also on their website for a wide variety of tires. They are generally very specific in their praise/criticism of the tires. I doubt if you'll find a more reliable set of data anywhere else for judging tire performance.
