So the reason they lack credibility is because you didn't look very hard or don't know how to search?

Plus 9 other Rene Herse tires that were easily found by clicking search and typing in Rene Herse.

I will say they do a pretty decent job of going through quite a number of tires. Maybe not perfect but certainly pretty comprehensive and in depth. Sure it does have a subscription element but to do all of that data purely for free is a tough one for anyone unless they have tons of money and time already.

I am really curious what your actual issue would be with them? Certainly it cannot be purely because they have 10 listings for tires you wanted and an article dedicated to the casings on those tires you wanted that were easily found with little effort. I can see if you had said "ok I don't like their testing methods because of X" but to not like them over poor searching just seems odd.

I have no stake in the website though and while I think it is neat as a bike nerd I actually have seldom looked at it.
