I previously had Nokian Weatherproof fitted to my car. Now I have had the opportunity to drive on about 5cm if snow Nd compacted ice. The bridgestone can't quiet match the Nokian snow performance (they are not far off), but are far better in the wet. The feedback is also better in the dry as are the stopping distances. A good balanced all rounder, suited to Southern England.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Saab Automobile 9 3 se turbo 185 bhp drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I would usually go for a branded tire, A or B rating in the wet but i was talked into these Nordex by a tire dealer. Now for a normal everyday driver these tires would be perfect but im a man who enjoys driving and i will never put these tires on my car again. In the wet they are god awful and in the dry they squeal when turning.
I have Hero Milanza tires fitted all round on my 185bhp Saab turbo convertible and they are amazing. I've done over 30,000 miles on them and there is still plenty of wear left. They grip very well in both dry and wet conditions.
14,000 miles is not enough for tires which cost £95.53 each on 8/3/2011 and have been generally worked quite lightly. Heavy driving could have killed them in 5,000?
Previous P7000s however did 26000. Pirelli PLEASE NOTE.

I have had 3 full sets of ZZ3's on my 9-3 2.0 ltr turbo. Each set has lasted approximately 20-25,000 miles. I have driven them at all speeds and in all conditions. I highly recommend them. The wear on them is phenomenal. I drive sensibly most of the time, with the occasional let loose stretching of the gearbox!! I can tell you they are very good at 145mph! They are the best all round tire I have come across. Value for money wise, at £76 a tire delivered and £10 to fit, I havent found a better performing tire for the money. I honestly believe that anyone who has had a negative experience with them, either cant drive or has a lead foot, or both. Buy with confidence. I get mine from camskill and have them fitted locally.
good steering feel,reduced tramling compared to michelin pilots,long lasting.good resistance to aquaplaining.poor traction on wet/greasy town roads,tires noisy on most surfaces,sidewalls still in good condition,15000 on front then 25000 on back still legal.Think i'll try a softer compound tire next time maybe the uniroyal that you all like,just wondering if it would be noisy with the V tread.
