I just put a set of BF Goodrich G-Force Sports on my '92 9000 T and love 'em. Terrific dry grip as well as outstandingl grip in the rain.

For more data here's a BFG info page link http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfg/productIdSubmit.do

These are the treaded tires used on all Skip Barber Race Series R/T 2000 open wheeled racecars. I've been on them in R/T's at well over 100mph in the rain at multiple tracks and they really do have great grip wet or dry. On my Saab I run 40 psi and am fine with having more stability and mileage at the expense of a fairly stiff ride.

I've only put a few thousand miles on them on the Saab and while I don't expect big mileage numbers (20 - 25k) they are relatively cheap so I don't mind if they wear quickly because they perform so well. Tire rack price was about $75 per for my 205-16's.

From a regular tire dealer after markup for mounting and balancing I still paid less than $100 apiece. This tread pattern is much quieter than the Pirelli's I deafened myself with for years.

The G-Force Sport tires are not meant for winter driving and I use a set of Michellin Apine's on steel wheels for winter months

I've never been a big fan of BFG tires but the team that worked up the G-Force for Skip Barber seems to have gotten the tread pattern and compound right on this particular tire line.
