> Yup, surface area is the only thing that matters. That is why a 225 all-season is better than a 185 R-comp. The measurable tread is deaper too, so that must also mean that they are better. Just measure all quantifiable elements and the highest number wins.

wow that didnt take long before a useless critical post popped up.

nothing like that was posted in the article. it is up to you to make a decision based on the facts.

if you want a better comparison, youll have to flow test the media and devise a test that introduces particles of a given size and see how well it filters them out.
