Saab Automobile Vector Sport Estste 175bhp Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental Premium Contact 2 given 86% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 32000 easy going miles
Good mileage from rears (32000 miles to minimum legal limit) and fronts (15000) and a great caravan towing tyre. Excellent grip in all conditions, much improved over P6000's we used to use, and will perform equally well wet or dry, though some sports tyres may be better grip/less mileage. We run standard pressures of 32psi in normal use, 36psi for economy and towing and monitor conciencously. Best miles we've ever had from any tyre/car combination. I'm not a heavy footed driver and aim for good mpg as much as possible, but cruise at the legal limit usually.

On my vehicle this seems to be a great all rounder. I know this is classified as a summer tyre. However I drove perfectly fine throughout the bad snow of last winter without any noticable difficulties.

I briefly switched to Avon ZV5s which were appalling in comparison, replaced them within 2 weeks.

Are there any better tyres out there for a saab 9-5 estate ? I'm reluctant to even bother trying to find out as I'm very happy with Continental Sports Contact 3's. Although may try the 5's next.

Had all four fitted to a Saab 9-5 estate, as recommended by a so called Saab specialist. I now have the worst driving Saab around. Front wheel drift, skittish, lack of grip. My traction control hasnt worked so hard.

I would not recommend these tyres. They may be cheaper than Continental Sports Contact 3s (my original tyres), but they deliver a horrid ride and are not worth the money. Avoid at all costs.
