Furthermore, manufacturers deliver cars with their equipment of choice and that is how they are rated. If they made a bad choice due to the car breaking down or otherwise performing poorly, it is on them.

I don't think this is a bad choice because it likely reflects the reality of what customers end up having in their garage.
Yeah that's why I didn't want to get into the tire debate. One can always nitpick about something, there are no perfect tests, a win is a win.

It's not the end of the world if the M5 lost a track test, on Auto Zeitung it won by over 1 sec. And I expect the M5 will put up the best time on the ring.
