Subject: Choice of tires for C900 (1991)


Hello, I am sure this topic has been discussed, but Saabnet.com link to the archive search does not seem to work. So, I have to ask the probably oft-addressed question of tire choice for my 1991 Saab 900. Currently, several dealers have a promotion on Michelins. I was looking at their HydroEdge tires, and I am confused: the ratings show better handling in dry and wet than many sports tires, while having 70k warranty, and having an "All-Season Touring" classification. Has anybody tried these tires, and can comment on how good they are? Or, for example, how do they compare to something like BridgestoneĈ Potenza RE950 (rated "All-Season High-Performance")? Second question: if I went to one size larger (195/60 R15 instead of stock 185/65R15), do I put much stress on the car suspension to matter? Also, would I be able to put chains on the wider tire if I need to? The reason for this question is that with that size, I can choose a sportier MichelinĈ Pilot XGT H4 - if that is any good, of course :-) Thank you, -Dima
