I pretty much agree with everything "Noel" has to say. However, I draw the line these days at searching for a more economical tire. I used to play that game, would throw the 20K ECSTAs on the car and treat them as disposable. We're now running Bridgestone Turanza Serenity tires on our '04 Arc Wagon, and they're the best tires we've ever had on a SAAB. Not cheap, but I think an expression we've all heard repeatedly applies here: "Your car is no better than four patches of rubber the size of your hand." Why would I be driving a first-rate car and settle for second-rate tires?
As far as the speed ratings go, in 50 years of driving I've never even MET a person who needed anything but an "H" rated tire.
