There is A LOT about my 9-5 that I really like. It's my 3rd Saab (and my 2nd 9-5). These have been among the most comfortable cars I've ever owned or driven (including a few Mercedes).
But the tire noise is driving me nuts!
I only have about 20k on the Pirelli P6s that came on the car, and at interstate speeds it is nearly impossible to carry on a conversation or hear the stereo at a reasonable volume. My dad has a Toyota Highlander that I just drove for about 1,000 and it is MUCH quieter than my '05 9-5.
My dilemma is that much as I dislike the noise, it just doesn't seem right to toss a set of tires that look like they still have many more miles left in them.
Then there is that nagging question (and regular thread here) about what to buy as a replacement. Is it asking too much to get a tire that has reasonable performance that is quiet for more than a few thousand miles?
Argh!
Jay
