Those "bad" tires you are talking about were made by a Japanese company, Bridgestone [owns Firestone]. > > While Michelin makes the tires, Saab 1) made the decision to > equip their cars with Michelins, and 2) decided to not make it > "right" with me.

Michelin and Toyo are generally regarded as the highest *quality* tire manufacturers. If you abandon Michelin, you'll likely be taking a step down in quality. Also, I hope that you have learned that you should never buy tires at a dealer repair shop. If they weren't going to do it under warranty, then take it somewhere else. Always get a price quote from the dealer before they do anything, and don't be afraid to say "Don't do the work, I'll take it somewhere else". Your dealer if a rip off.
