I have some neuton 5000's fitted to my 3.2 and they don't tramline and the car drives striaght. when they were first fitted it was like driving on marballs until they bedded in, i am currently on 18000m on this set and still good tread, i do mostly mortorway miles. The tyre in the dry is excellent no compliants, in the wet you do have to watch for worn roundabout road surfaces, you do get some slight oversteer followed by some slight oversteer but nothing scary and only if very, very wet. The tyre can be purchased from a SAAB dealer and they were £55 a corner, good tread pattern and a large rim protecter, just put Neuton 5000 in a search engine you find it easy. :)

I recommend michelin pilot primacy(not hp) tyres myself, great grip in the dry and fantastic in the wet, although they are not cheep and you might have to ask your tyre dealer to order them in, as they have been superceeded by the hp. the hp is noisey compared to the pilot primacy. OF ALL THE TYRES TO AVOID IT WILL BE THE FALKEN AS CHRIS SAYS.
