You were due some decent customer service. The tires I have at Wal-Mart have 80K warrantees with maintenance...if I ran over a nail (which I did) they replace it without telling me it was my fault. You'd figure a high priced outfit like Saab would do the same. I always liked Saabs, never having driven one, but having seen them on the road in my native NE all the time. But I realize they are quirky, expensive cars. I can't understand all the hostility and snippiness here. Maybe they are defensive b/c they realize they paid 2x the price for something that is less reliable than a Toyota Camry? Keep bitching to you Saab place. There must be something wrong with the alignment. $245 is ridiculous for a tire. I had BF Goodrich's installed on my Toyota at Wal-mart (80 K miles warantee) for about $60 each including hazard, installation, etc. They seem like great tires. It's been 50K miles and they have plenty of tread left on them. Maybe not up to the "standards" of the stuffy people that seem to be on this Saab site, but I like them nonetheless. Also consider getting touring instead of "sport" tires. They are made more for comfort and long life. Maybe "sport" tires blowout easier? I don't know.
