I made the same decision as iowaero and put them on a Wisconsin Aero last fall. I had much better results running standard Michelin's on my 9000 and 900's. I feel Saab's advice on changing wheels on the Aero in the winter is right on target. I'd feel better running the WR's on a smaller narrower wheel. Wish I would have. Cornering is acceptable and they work fine in rain but I feel the tires are quite noisy in the Summer. They almost sound like a bad wheel bearing. (I don't think I have one)
FWIW. This was my first adventure into low profile wide tires with BBS wheels. Didn't pay it much attention when I bought the car used. I wasn't used to $1000 wheels and tires on each corner of the car. A year and a half later I'm still not. When I get the fun handling of the Aero out of my system someday I'll likely return to more conventional tires and wheels.
Till then, the bumpy little thing is still a hoot to drive.
