The difference in speed ratings on tires is more than the speed you drive them at. If you can't feel the difference in a drive around the block when you go from to z to v rated tires then you don't need the z's. However on any recent Saab offering tires are crucial to the feel of the car. There is no such thing as a performance all season tire... The Dunlop sp 8000 is one great tire for the money today in saab sizes, but take them off in the winter and go to tires made for your conditions. Gary, 9000 Aero.
