Best Tires for the Saab Automobile 93 Aero TTid Sportwagon (180)

I’ve had these fitted to my 9-3 SportCombi TTiD for the last 20,000km and am very impressed for the money. Dry grip is excellent and from a standing start even a full power start barely illicits a chirp which is impressive for a twin turbo diesel FWD with an open diff. Wet grip and braking is decent and while it is easy to reach the tire’s limit during wet cornering the feedback is such that you’re well aware it will let go before you get in trouble. My biggest criticism is the dry handling, while it isn’t bad per say, the limit of grip especially through a spirited run up some mountain twisties is relatively easy to reach, that’s the biggest downfall in this price category compared to your Pilot Sport or ContiSport type tires, the limit is that much lower however, for the price it is a very competent tire, would happily buy again.

Have used Conti Sp Contact 5's since I've had my Saab 10 years, I do mostly motorway miles, but I do drive both A and B roads. I'm a very enthusiastic driver who on occasions will go into a bend faster than you should, I'm still here because the car and tire combination is great especially in the wet, on motorways I pity people who get too close as amount of water displaced by tires is great, I change tires about every 16 months, or 15 - 18000 miles. I feel very confident using these tires, I have used other brands but these give me great confidence in any road/weather combination. I suppose tire choice is like car choice, you either love or hate them.
