According the owners book i got with the car. They should be H rated (upto 130MPH). Yet Saab themselves say the car should be able to do 130, so surely the next rating up, V ratings, so be applied. Still got V's fitted now. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
