My OEM tires on my 99 9-3 ended up making vibration that was felt in the steering wheel around 36K. Turned out that the previous owner didn't rotate the tires. When I did, I put a bad tire from the back up front that ended up wearing tremendously on the inside tread (a 6 inch long part that was threadbare). It became worse after a Saab dealer tried to align the wheels to prevent the vibration (never going to that dealer again). I discovered that it was threadbare as I was taking off the tire when it blew out on a major interstate while going 75 MPH. Since it was on the inside edge of the tread, I couldn't see it without taking the tire off. Very scary! So beware and get this checked out. If they are the OEM tires (which are V rated), you may need to replace all 4 due the fact of a short treadlife. I replaced with H rated Michelin MXV4's partly because the lower price.
