To get down to cases; I did exactly as you suggested, in another post, several days ago. I'll bet you saw it. Saab wheelrims are designed in a way, that they hold the treadbelt of a tire when it deflates -- and not even by very much. This allows the wheel rim edges to very quickly cut the sidewalls loose from the tread belt. This escalates a minor tire problem with a slow leak, to a catastrophic blowout. It happens in around ten seconds in normal freeway driving. I didn't make this up. I do indeed have more than one "expert" now, who will attest that this is exactly what happened. Happy motoring. *********** I was not looking for a personal fight when I originally posted here. I had had a real problem; wanted to report it. I was looking for a little technical input. I was surprised to see the replies from you and others get very personal very fast. I had expected to see a lot more knowledge here and a lot less namecalling. I haven't seen much in the way of technical help here, but I believe I've made my point about Saab and their OEM tires -- especially when I see replies like this. I am not a troll; nor am I a "whiner." While I am getting tired of the adolescence I see here; I can handle it just fine -- even from you. After several replies like this from you, I'll indulge myself and tell you that I am actually sorry for you and some of the other "enthusiasts" posting here. You may go away now. mb
