Sgdude Neutral Newbie March 12, 2005 Share March 12, 2005 Hi to all, After years of coveting a Saab I finally got one, a 2003-registered Aero 2.3TS. The previous owner was a certain well-known monk (yes I read the thread). My previous car was a Skoda Octavia Elegance with the VW 1.8T engine. Cheers, Sgdude P.S. Hi Turbobrick! Back in SG already? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgdude Neutral Newbie March 12, 2005 Author Share March 12, 2005 Sensational drive! But made the slight mistake of putting Pirello PZero Rosso's on it. However, the Rosso's were going for a good price, well below that of my preferred Michelin Pilot PS2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Clutched March 12, 2005 Share March 12, 2005 Hey... was your Octy the red one for sale recently? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Clutched March 12, 2005 Share March 12, 2005 (edited) Slight mistake? Why? The rossos are not good? How much are the Rossos? Now? Need to replace my tyres soon So your ride's a 95 Aero? Edited March 12, 2005 by Lightspeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgdude Neutral Newbie March 12, 2005 Author Share March 12, 2005 No it isn't. My Octy hasn't been put on the market yet. It's still with the used-car dealer with whom I traded the Octy in for the Aero. It may be exported if it proves too hard to sell locally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtvox Neutral Newbie March 12, 2005 Share March 12, 2005 Putting on the Rosso is never a mistake. Its one of the best money can buy. BTW, your rims is 17 inch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgdude Neutral Newbie March 12, 2005 Author Share March 12, 2005 (edited) High wear rate. Which is to be expected given the soft-ish compounds used in max performance tires. But too high. See user reviews of the Rosso and PS2 on tirerack.com. I paid $280 each at Chin Wah. They had brought in a lot at volume discounts. Don't know if they will still sell at that price. Otherwise would have been in excess of $300. The PS2's cost about $350 each. OUCH! Edit: I forgot to mention that my tires are 225/45-17.

Sgdude Neutral Newbie March 12, 2005 Author Share March 12, 2005 Yes, 17". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Clutched March 12, 2005 Share March 12, 2005 (edited) I assume you're running on 17"? I'm currently running on 18" Rossos as well, but they need to be replaced soon... Quite worried about the costs now Where's this chin wah place btw? Edited March 12, 2005 by Lightspeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
