try neo bros on ebay saab specialist they are doing neuton tyres at reasonable prices a subsidury to a high profile company but i cant remember who. got 2 for the rear of the mig seem to hold the road well even when haevy right foot injected in the wet.
Heard about these, they reccommended them on the Saab forum, £100 delivered for the pair with good reviews by all accounts. Bloke I know sold them other tyres this morning  >:(

Will probably have a set of these Neutons thanks for that mate  :y

Got some cheap crap on mine something "Prima?" may be acceleras?

Absolutely rather lethal in the wet :o, fine in the dry but the first time I was out in a downpour I near shat myself on a downhill sweeping right turn in the city centre one sunday morning. Old biddies in a Micra nearly died of fright as nigh on 2 tons of Beastie came at them, 35 mph sideways ;D

Really, do not go there!

I never understand why people buy and run decent top of the range cars sparing nothing in keeping them in tip top condition then put rubbish tyres on their vehicle risking their lives into the bargain. Like  CD Pete I crashed and was lucky not to have been badly injured due to using cheap budget tyres. I have never skimped on tyres since I run Goodyear F1's on my miggy, its not worth chancing it, it could be your life. Thats it rant over :o

Neutons have very good reviews for in the wet and dry which is probably what I'll be going for.

Ive been impressed with them on the rear of the mig as said even flooring it in the wet the other night it didnt let go. We had some heavy frost the other morning too and still it held front a bit iffy with the acceleras though thinking of changing them soon.
