Gotta Laugh.

My wife drives our 94 850 turbo sedan shod with the turbo 16 205/55/16 Michelin Energy's.

Ride sucks, flat out. Noise is an understatement.

What I learned.

1) Don't hit a pot hole, you'll bend those rims.

2) Tires do make a difference. Michelins are really noise, but that all season and hard tack (the compound) which gives you the long wear tires.

3) Enjoy the handling, it's what a "Brick" feels like to drive.

4) Check to make sure cartridges are not shot.

5) Check to make sure the shock tower seats are good, replace with some of the newer compound products (if you've got the bucks)

6) Repeat 1)

Despite it all. love the car. Cannot wait to put my wife in a Passat.
