Anyone recommend where and what tires I should get for my Saturn? (And if
you know, how much they cost you.)

Thanks!

What type of driving do you do (highway, city, or combined)? How many miles do
you drive in a year? What type of Saturn do you have? Do you need tires that
will provide good traction in snow? In rain?

Best thing for you to do is talk to a few tire dealers in your area and see
what they recommend.

If you live in Ohio,I'd move soon to get some.I got Firestones above
average tires,& make sure you get them rotated!,I let  my last car -a
ford contour go 7 the results were awful,tires get beat up on these so
called light weight autos.

I am a BF Goodrich fan, been using Traction TA's for years, good in rain and
dry weather, dont know about snow yet.

Ah yes, sorry I forgot to add this!
I drive in city and highway, but mostly highway.
I'd prefer rain grip, and possibly snow, as well.

Since I've only owned my car a year, I've put about 35,000 miles on it.

I have a 1997 Saturn SC2.

And I do plan on it, but I'd like to hear fellow Saturn owners opinions
before I dive out into the market :)

Sounds to me like you need something with a good highway rain tread and a high
treadware rating.

I had Dunlop SP Sport A2 on my old '99 SC2. The wet grip and cornering was
outstanding.

I replaced the 195/60 15's on my daugthers SC2 this spring with some
with some 185/65 15's GoodYear Allegra's that I got over at Sams Club.
They are but 3 tenths of a inch bigger in diameter and the slightly
narrower tread together with its tread design provides supurb traction
on wet/slick surfaces as I discovered when I put a set of Allegra's on
my wifes car last fall. I tried them because the tread design looked
like it would work will and they did.

I really liked the ContiExtremeContact tires on my '96 SL2.  Can't remember
what they cost.
