James Anderson is the editor of TireReviewsLab and writes and edits all of its tire reviews, brand guides, tire comparisons and car maintenance articles, nearly 400 in total. His focus is detailed model reviews, side-by-side comparisons and practical DIY care guides that help drivers choose, and look after, the tires their safety depends on. His reviews are research-based: they draw on manufacturer specifications and warranty terms, published independent tire tests and owner reviews from major retailers, with sources linked and prices and warranty figures dated. James does not road-test tires himself, and each review says so. Spotted an error? Contact us and it will be corrected.
