The speedo will not change as long as you keep the diameter of the tire the same, which I bet you will. Not sure what saabowner was thinking there.
It IS true that you can smooth the ride a bit with nicer 17" tires but you are right in that the extra sidewall of the 16" sure can help in smoothing it out.
Idea for you; Why not just trade your 17" rims and tires for 16" rims and tires from another Saaber? I bet there are a few who would like to do so.
