Actually, they are very good tires and usually at a good price. I have a set of the AVS dB's (V speed rated) on my daughter's 9000CSE and they have proven themselves to be excellent summer tires on both dry and wet roads. Not recommended for winter (snow) driving though. They are also not particularly long wearing if that matters to you, but the trade off is better traction. I also put a set of Yokohama Avid H4's on my other daughter's car (a Chevy Cavalier) and those have been good tires too. They wear longer, but the traction is not as good as the dB's They would probably not be recommended for your SAAB due to the H speed rating. Check out the feedback reports at www.tirerack.com. In general, Yoko's are highly regarded, more-son than many of the more expensive tires that you mentioned. -Fred W
