The Abbott stuff did help the handling, up to a point. My car was
a base model 900S Turbo which came with cheap Boge shocks and the
15" rims, cannot say how much improved a 900SE would be but proba-
bly it'd still benefit. Like I said, these cars ain't M3 killers by any stretch of the imagination, Abbott or no. I ran the OEM Pi-
lot HX 16"ers at first, decent tire overall. Next to get mounted
were the Pilot Sports, same 205/50-16 size- much stiffer sidewall,
quite a bit more harsh, some extra grip. Wore pretty fast, expens-
ive! I didn't think they really complemented an NG9's characteris-
tics, you're giving away too much to get performance that the car
cannot truly use. That's my opinion. The Bridgestones are more re-
laxed in feel but still perform very well. Ride is much more comfy
but not sloppy at all. I like the steering's feel better too, more
natural...
