whats in a tire.... does one company make a tire better then the other? do the cuts mean anything other then pushing out water when it rains? I don't care about price because there is no price on safe

Coming from 4 wheels onto 2 wheels, tire buying has been the most frustrating process to date.
Not many people have experience/insight that can tell WHY tire A is better than tire B.
Most are just fans of a certain brand, and can't tell salt from sugar.
Compared the automotive world, where we have tirerack and their massive surveys/comparisons + lots of people that autox competitively, every tire that is anything more than an all-season has had their reviews and rants posted online for all to examine and base their decisions on. Emphasis on the local autox scene because it's quite large, with many experienced guys that have run the best (street tire or r-compound) tire available to remain competitive, picking out a specific tire was easy-peasy.
There are lots of tire comparisons and "shootouts" available for almost all applications for motorcycle tire use.
Can you point me to a website/publication that does the best job?--I've seen assorted reviews and comparisons from various websites/companies, but consistency is also key..
tire are very personal. I almost think they are like underware to a degree.
I love michelin, love their profile, how they install and how they perform and feel. Love their touring road series and their sticker power series.....
