I chose to post a polite response. Tires are important to me, too. It is inappropriate for you and others here to make sweeping assuptions about my attitude toward car care, OR my personal character, just because you might find the experience I reported with my Saab to be less than a completely positive rave. I certainly disagree with you on one item: I definitely do NOT believe that US auto buyers have nearly enough information available to them, to make truely informed decisions about the cars they buy. While I am sorry about the direction this thread has taken, I personally can handle the cliquish personal abuse in this thread just fine. What I see here, is that there are a lot of folks posting to alt.autos.saab who aren't nearly as knowledgeable about Saabs, or as mature personally, as they would like to think. I regret that. I note that many of them are not representing Saab very well at all to potential Saab buyers who might visit here from time to time. The fact remains that Saab equipped my new car with tires that have failed, catastrophically, twice in five thousand miles, with much better than "normal" care, and under good road conditions. Tires are a safety issue. They should be designed to not blow out very often, and to handle failure in a reasonable way when they do. And the fact also remains, that I am sorry you had five blowouts. > Tires were very important to me before I bought them. That's why I bought good > tires with the heat rating, speed rating and tread pattern I needed. and why I fully expect an auto manufacturer like Saab to equip their new cars with tires suitable for the uses to which their owners will put their new cars. > They served me well, considering the mileage I was putting on them in the heat > of the summer and that I was running them on Interstates all day and then "off > roading" at dirt race tracks over gravel, rocks, metal, sheet metal and who > knows what every night. > > lauraknopsamousergraphics.com > http://www.madmousergraphics.com > web design, print design, photography > mb
