Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector 1.8 Tire Review Highlights

Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
It's my first time every driving in snow, bought a car with these already on so I gave it a chance. Well in sweden we got a lot of snow and ice, I don't feel comfort at all in the snow-muddy curves or on straight lines because u feel the tires lose its grip on mud. One day I came behind a snow plow truck and went uphill, when the plower drove off and I could gas up a little - the f*cking tires wouldn't get a grip so my fiance had to push the car up until I got a grip on the road.. I know I drove a bit slow up but still . Well maybe I need other tires or maybe it's normal when it's a lot of snow, I have to experience more winters with different tires to know. But when the road is dry I do feel a real comfort and safety in the tires because then you really feel the grip on the road, just a bit noisy on the highway but maybe just my car :-) and it's not the pattern that is bad, actually the look brand new.

Driving on mostly motorways for 9000 average miles
New car came with 3 brand new P609s and 1 old Arrowspeed N1000 (drivers rear). Over the summer months the grip felt pretty good and never understeared even when provoking it. Down to 2mm already on the front after maybe 2000 miles of back roads and 7000 miles of motorways and towns. In winter conditions (below 8 degrees C) I struggle to pull away from junctions without loosing a wheel or two, even driving as gently as I can. 120hp is apparently enough to spin up in a straight line in 2nd with no clutch kick and not that many revs. Over the summer the tires were pretty good, but a new car made a huge difference (battered Peugeot to well kept Saab).
Average 32mpg day to day and 40mpg on distance cruises, but that is about what saab quote for my car, so not too bad.
Braking is average at best, and if ABS fails to stop locking for a second the stopping force in a skid is pathetic. Car doesn't feel settled on back roads when it's cold, but feels fine when it's warm.
