Saab Automobile 9 3 convertible S 150hp Tires

Bought these tires, admittedly on price alone, and initially thought that they were fine. I didn't actually choose these ones but the supplier had them brought in after my wheels had been removed on the hoist.
A little extra road noise but nothing to be concerned with. I drove them on dry roads for about a thousand kilometres and thought that reviews I had subsequently read were a little fierce.
I did notice however from early on that rapid acceleration cause a slight loss of traction, even on course bitumen.
One morning, after a rainy night and on a still damp road on the way to work [luckily in no hurry on a public holiday with no traffic around me] I negotiated a slight downhill left turn to find the back end sliding right out. Years of driving in all conditions was the only thing that got the car straight again and stopped an insurance claim.
Simply - NO
