Bought through the Asda tyre site and fitted by Halfords, just changed yesterday after 28.000 miles on the front of our Saab 95 estate. I was surprised how well these had lasted when I checked the old receipt this morning, esp as I had given then a lot of abuse, the Saab suffered from corroded alloy rims which meant that for most of the time I was running about with soft tyres and the only fault I could see with them was that they had developed cracks in the rubber, perished or due to soft running I don't know, but apart from that they were just fine. Looking at the tread left there was still a couple of thousand miles still in them but I had become tired of having to always pump them up so with an mot due I changed them and had the tyre fitters apply a rim sealant at the same time. I'm not a fast driver so the ratings for feedback, wet grip dry braking etc are not somthing that ever occurs to me, they were just fine tyres that did the job cheaply. Asda now supply Jinyu tyres as their value range and I have these on the rear, so Jinyus are now on the front too, and I hope they will last as well.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Saab Automobile 95 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Replaced Nokian Z G2s with a new set of these; early days but very quiet in comparison and less harsh. Subjectively, road-holding seems better than when Nokians were first new. (And they in turn were far superior to the Continentals that were good but wore out quickly).
Remains to be seen how these fare but so far very pleased with what was a gamble since the tyres haven't been out long and I hadn't seen any tests. I specifically wanted quieter tyres with good rain performance; most of my driving doesn't take place on well-kept German roads but the potholed, broken tarmac country lanes and minor roads where I live.
There aren't too many (well-rated) tyres in this size with higher speed XL ratings, so it was a really choice between these and Pirellis. However, I've had Avon winter tyres on this car for the last few years and they've coped well with incessant rain in the winter months plus worn reasonably so with an A rain rating these seemed a logical buy.
Give them a go; you won't be disappointed.

Bought these to replace Avon ZV5s on the front of my SAAB prior to making a round Europe trip of over 4500 miles. Since then I've done another 3500 miles and there's hardly a sign of wear. I'd have expected such little wear from a tyre that is very hard with little grip, but these are fantastic!
Hard to break traction even on slippery surfaces and goes through rain soaked roads like the water isn't there. Good feel with quite a progressive transition at the point where it starts to let go.
Very happy with these tyres and they are much better than the Avons and better than the Michelins which were on before that. Certainly will buy again.

Really good tyre if you ignore wear rate, which at whats looks to be less than 8K miles on a Saab 9-5 1.9 Diesel estate is not possible to ignore!!!!
I usually get around 20K from a pair of front tyres (Pretty sedate driver) so £300 (pair of fronts) for around 5 months driving before they need changing means my next purchase will be back with Michelin. As a comparison the Avon ZV5s on the rear have worn less than 1mm in same mileage.

I previously had used 2 sets of the older HPX GT Tyres, they were very good in all conditions, I recently had a pair of the new UHP1 tyres fitted on the front, in most areas they are good. In the recent snow, approx 30-50 mm deep they gave very little traction, the worst issue with them is that they are very sensitive to changes in road camber something the older HPX tyres did not seem as affected by. Not sure I would purchase further GT tyres for this application.
The web site was asking for opinions so here is mine. Not may miles yet, only on car for 4 days. Immediate impression as good on damp road as Michelin, BUT quite noisy in comparison. I will report back after some use.
Bought for front of car, good sensible tyre for average driver, was a lttle slippy the first 800 miles due to releaseing agent, but after that fine grip. A bit noiser then expected, but generally a good tyre.
Not recommended for boy racers.

Good budget Tyre, not as good as I expected after reading reviews,Wet grip is a problem, the car will easily wheel spin in second or third gear under hard acceleration. Better than most against other tyres at the same money and probably better than some named brands.Wear is pretty even but I will only get about 15K out of the front tyres.
Tires have flat spot. Put on new car. Car shimmied at 65mph and 72 mph so much steering wheel shook. Dealer said drive and he will rebalance. He rebalanced and car stopped terrible shake at 65 mph and now has one at 75 mph and shakes all over. He said drive 1000 miles and let flat spots run out. I did ... work than ever. Asking for a replacement. This is the new 9-5 a heavier (4250 lbs) sport sedan. Handles amazingly well when there is not the terrible shaking.
tyre wear very quick less than 1 year (15,000miles driving steady)
