It looks to me like Saab has a tire and suspension problem in the United States, whether it shows up in the NTHSA database or not. I'm here to tell you that it's a serious problem. If you need to, go back and re-read my posts. Consider what I said, especially about the statistical theory that goes into declaring a problem to be a "safety" problem in the US. HINT: not very many drivers here need to encounter a safety issue for it to cause major, major harm to lots of people. Johnannes, your job here is to share your experience concerning tires and suspension; not just fuck with new posters with whom you disagree. Grow up. m
