I just put on a set of Nokian NRV's, and the car drives like it's on rails. I haven't been able to get it to howl yet, but I'm working on that. Have a look here: http://www.nokian.com/nokian_nrv_en.html I'm *very* pleased with them. I bought them from Greer Enterprises in Milwaukee, who will ship them anywhere in the country (Disclaimer: I know Pat from the Milwaukee Saab club, and have bought probably 6 or 8 sets of tires from him as a customer, but have no financial interest at all in his business). The number for Greer Enterprises is (414)545-2296. I'd be interested to hear from people who have driven these tires and some of the others you mention, to see how they feel they compare, but on my 9-5, I'm extremely pleased with them. For what it's worth, they look pretty sharp, too... Hope this helps, Dave Hinz
