from friend - for full se Year / Model Reviewed:
1997 Saab 900 Summary:
Noise shows up on cheap cars with no floor sound deadening, but it's the old tread style so go figure - got them almost free, wouldn't buy them new as they are definitely last year's model: newer bridgestone RE's with UNI-T AQII put all others to shame - Hold better than Yokos and Pirellis with 1/3 to 1/2 less wear, stick like crazy in the rain (yokos would spin, pirellis would spin, don't even think about it with others), and give a good steering feel. As far as snow, we don't get it down south much, but what kind of an idiot drives using non-M/S tires in the snow?!? Oh, yes that's right, the kind that also buys a Ford product made on a chasis dating to 1973 when I was born... Strengths:
Wear resistance, cornering (feel and grip), wet ability (it's better with the newer UNI-T QII's though) Weaknesses:
Definite noise on this particular bridgestone model - all others are quiter than any other brand except michelin, but then you have to fork out some serious dough to the french for those... Similar Products Used:
Yokohama AVS, etc, Bridgeston potenza RE-02 & 03, RE750, RE950, Pirelli P-zero, dunlop sp8000, haven't tried the cheap asians (Kuhmo, Sumitomo)
