What does this have to do with Saab? If you're not happy with Michelin, then buy another brand. I have Michelins on the front and Avons (my old front set) on the rear. They seem fine. Were yours at the correct pressure? When did you last check the pressures? It's one of those things, along with fluids, that should be checked on a regular basis to ensure that the car is running as per the manufacturer's intention and to keep you safe. If you've had two blow-outs so far, I'd suggest you're running them more than a little over-pressure. > Today I would trade this Saab straight across for a comparable > Honda Civic ... Is there a comparable Honda Civic?
