Saab Automobile 9 5 3.0 V6 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Roadstone Eurovis Sport 04 given 47% (235-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Had a set of 4 of these on my Saab when I purchased the car. They were relatively okay in the summer when it was dry, with average noise and pretty good in terms of comfort. Probably suited to a steady or average driving style in a family car that goes around town. As soon as you hit any sort of moisture or cold though, my goodness, what a disappointment! Absolutely diabolical handling in the wet with some incredible levels of understeer on a front-heavy car if you try to go past any sort of over-cautious speed. For this reason alone, I would never buy them again as I would actually consider them borderline dangerous in some situations. On the plus side, 6 months of daily commuting up and down the motorway seems to have worn little of the tread away. So probably ideal if you are a taxi driver wanting to get the longest life.

Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Recently switched from a full set of Roadstones which I was getting tired of spinning up every time I tried to drive in the wet and were woeful at cornering at the first sign of any moisture. I generally research tyres for a long time before committing to buy, and I had finally narrowed myself down to these Good Years or a set of equally rated Falkens. I went for the Good Years based on how reasonable the price was at one of my usual local fitters. The car feels like I've got in something completely different. It has transformed the drive and handling immeasurably. I am absolutely staggered at how well these tyres cope in corners particularly with a front-heavy transverse mounted V6 inside an already heavy car. Understeer was a massive problem in the Saab previously and it made it a chore to drive at times of wet or cold weather. These tyres cope incredibly well on wet tarmac as well as dry. I've not been unlucky enough to encounter anything severe enough to cause aquaplaning just yet but I've no doubt they will do just fine. I can't fairly comment on wear as I've not owned them long enough. My only criticism if I absolutely had to provide some is they aren't really noticeably quieter than any decent mid-range tyre and would fall in to the average category. But the improved handling far outstrips any disappointment!

At first these seemed okay, during the long, hot summer spell we have just had, I was only using them on dry roads to begin with, so eagerly awaited the heavens to open. Twice I have now driven in the rain recently and they are absolute garbage when it is wet. Understeer, no grip, spinning when pulling off from a roundabout under normal driving and traction control light on a lot. A shame as in the dry they are respectable for a good value tyre. Unfortunately the lack of control in the wet is the final nail in the coffin for me and I am looking at getting something else.

Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 average miles
At first it was very remarkably comfortable like riding on pillows, a bit floaty with little feedback from road but with a good steering response. At beginning dry breaking was terrible, feeling it will never stop, but after breaking in, the problems with dry breaking have disappeared. It is a good medium quality tyre giving confidence on snowy and wet roads.
