There are not many followers of the Nokian WR SUV. However, from what I have reaserched, these are about the best money can buy when it comes to a true "all-weather" tire. I am leaning heavily towards these tires for my all-seasons. However, there are not a lot of Nokian fans. I think they...

I agree! It's a little ridiculous, but I've spent more hours than I'd care to admit researching different tires for the mighty Yota. I'm close to making a decision, but am holding off until I finish my lift, and brake upgrade. Hopefully before the end of this month, I'll be settled, and have...

Human eye response to various luminance levels. Not entirely true, as our eyes are most sensitive to a lighting spectrum centered around 5500-6000K (natural sunlight) under mesopic lighting conditions. Here are a few interesting articles re: human eye response to lighting at various...
