I have tried on my 1999 93 TID Pirelli P6000 27000 miles with rotation (worn out) - noisy Kleber - backs at 23000 miles still good - fronts changed (road damage) after 8000 poor in wet dry OK did not like directional stability with them on front. Michelen Energy - fronts - Changed (road damage) after 13000 miles - fair all round. Goodyear NCT5 -fronts- 3000 and counting on front - after initial running in 500 miles they really grip and the car goes where I want it to go!. Quiter than all the others! I would get these again! As an aside, My 1999 '93 always used to pull to the nearside - a tracking check on the REAR revealed that the rear track had the OPPOSITE toe than required - the SAAB garage had forgotten to reverse the sign of toe-in to toe-out when putting their tracking equipment on the back of the car. (It dit not wear the rear tyres unevenly!) - Thanks to Hi-Q Truro UK for sorting it out!
