Car Forum / Saab Cars / July 20059000CS Tire Help Again!
I live in the south in a mountainous area. It's often wet but, apart from a bit of stop-start city driving, I mainly use an Interstate that has only moderate curves and grades. I'd like a comfortable tire, too. I have heard good things about Falkiens. Anyone care to comment? > I live in the south in a mountainous area.

Please read and respond to the replies to your other thread. It might actually get you an answer.

Is this post of yours insulting or what? >> I live in the south in a mountainous area.

Is this post of yours insulting or what? No it is not just insulting. Part of your question was about ratings. That was answered. You did not return to the thread at all. If you had, and thanked people regarding the speed rating feedback you recieved, and did they have any brand preferences, it would have been more courteous, than asking a similar question again. Also if you had stated which part of this large green ball you inhabited, you might not have only been recommended a brand, but even a local tyre chain that has a reputation for fantastic work and service. I going to assume that by use of "Tire", and "Interstate", you are in the continental north american region, or at least originate from that part. There is life beyond it's borders. Superior cars are made in that space.* *That was intended to be insulting. SignatureCarl Robson Car PC Build starts again. http://smallr.com/rz Homepage: http://www.bouncing-czechs.com I can see there's a campaign on here you're part of, and that ways are regularly being found and invented to insist that it's justified. People should feel it's been conducted in a manner both mean-spirited and low, and meant to interfere in the purpose for which boards like this exist. As to the matter of this thread, to recast a question so it's understood (the content is not the same, though hardly been your interest here) is hardly discourteous, and unless you have some interest I don't know of, you're out of line in here. Please don't respond further, it's neither your board nor your place to do that. >> Those responses all somehow just dealt with the tire speed rating scheme, >> now didn't they?

It simply isn't your place to ask him not to respond to your posts - that's what killfiles are for. SignatureGrunff Do you have anything helpful to offer about the tire question I asked? >> I can see there's a campaign on here you're part of, and that ways are >> regularly being found and invented to insist that it's justified.

Yes, but I choose not to offer it. See, that's how Usenet works - magic, huh? SignatureGrunff I had a hunch that was coming when you wouldn't reply to my first one on topic--care to explain how you did that, too? >> Do you have anything helpful to offer about the tire question I asked? > > Yes, but I choose not to offer it.

You'd find that your posts might gain a litle more respect if you didn't *top post * too btw. Graham Any excuse you want to give... >> I had a hunch that was coming when you wouldn't reply to my first one on >> topic--care to explain how you did that, too?

I had planned to address the other part of your question but I guess I won't bother now. Simple rule of Usenet. Play silly buggers and you'll get plonked. Graham What a pout you have going on; do you all charge here too, or is the pretense just enough? >> Any excuse you want to give... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Graham > Do you have anything helpful to offer about the tire question I asked? I'm with Grunff, whatever that...paragraph?...was, it didn't mean anything. And when you top-post, it screws up the flow of a conversation. Don't do that. I'm sure there was a gang you joined somehow as a youth, Dave, and that being in here isn't as much fun for you as it used to be, too. Do you do blanket parties too, by the way? >> Do you have anything helpful to offer about the tire question I asked? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > And when you top-post, it screws up the flow of a conversation.

Personalities can very quickly lead someone to discount any information that comes from that person thereafter, or disregards them more terminally with a killfile. I remember an incident recently where a newcomer top-posted for a long time and was called all manner of names and given quite a rough time. Okay, it would appear from his complete innocence about the matter that he was trolling and seeking to "take the piss" ... But he wasn't and I think he's made a very valid contribution to a number of things. Killfiles are a little final, don't you think? Okay, minor disagreement about a misinterpretation ... Can we all put this aside and get on with talking SAAB?

I don't know. Last I saw he was claiming to be spending a hundred bucks a month or something to host his gigabyte of videos being distributed in a questionably legal manner. > Killfiles are a little final, don't you think? Okay, minor disagreement > about a misinterpretation ... Can we all put this aside and get on with > talking SAAB? Well, Paul, Usenet is all about Signal:Noise ratio. I'm fine with missing something from someone who has shown themselves to be hard to deal with and/or intentionally disruptive. While the chance of missing something useful is non-zero, I'm OK with those odds. I think I've only got 2 people who have posted in this group in my killfile, which is a very low number compared to some other groups. > Killfiles are a little final, don't you think? Indeed - I have a total of 4 people killfiled, and that's across all the ngs I read. I was just pointing out that if he objected to what Sleeker said so much, there was a simple way out for him. > Can we all put this aside and get on with talking SAAB? Ok.

In accordance with the patriot act, all americans should vacate said groups. Failure to do so may result in a short (read indefinate) visit to Gitmo, and a life time of being followed by a chip implanted in your neck.

This is an international area where sometimes the subtleties of language can be missed. Please read through the responses you have had and perhaps continue that thread with a note of thanks and focus the thread onto the remaining parts of your original question that you would still like to be answered. There is a wealth of information here that will be forthcoming.

I'm afraid that I've perused this group for some while, and though my initial sympathies for its community makeup lay with you, I concluded some time back that, no, there's some abuse afoot--and, the routine's too ritually stated (and applied to some) to be otherwise, too. Sorry, but no cigar on that one... I might even offer that the train of responses to my initial post--which "cherry-picked" the speed scheme for me, while consciously ignoring its meat, the help in recommending a tire--is a tactic I've seen on display before today. Perhaps I shouldn't be shocked with the "Shoo, go elsewhere" response I drew when I resisted "arrest" with the gang herein--it's, after all, just of a piece with that same "Our Gang" comedy routine, now ain't it... >> I can see there's a campaign on here ... > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > 1989 900 Turbo S > http://saab.go.dyndns.org/ < snip > > I might even offer that the train of responses to my initial post--which > "cherry-picked" the speed scheme for me, while consciously ignoring its > meat, the help in recommending a tire--is a tactic I've seen on display > before today Hey, it was related to your question ( the difficulty in getting Z rated tyres ). I answered it for you. Not good enough ? Btw my answer was slightly wrong. The markings are now more detailed - e.g. 195/65 R 15 xx H Where the H speed rating has moved to the end and xx is the 'load rating'. I have no idea at this time how to decode the load rating but I have 2 tyres with 88 rating and 2 with 91 on my 9000. Graham >I live in the south in a mountainous area.

Just an observation on the rest of this thread: I've only been here about 6 months but I'm gobsmacked to see so many people whose opinions in different areas I've learned to respect apparently involved in some sort of international conspiracy against you. That's irony. I was born in England. However, assuming V rating will do for a 9K CS, why not Yokohama AVS550 or C-Drive? They're presented as a silent and comfort tyre respectively. C-Drives working well so far on my Outback, albeit only over 2000Km. My 900 is running Michelin Certes which are also good on comfort but let go a bit earlier than most things I've tried in the past (P6, A509 etc) Thanks for responding in kind, anyhow... >>I live in the south in a mountainous area.
