OK, I was going to buy some used 165SR15's to get my car rolling but $100 for a pair. Ended up buying 2 new Goodyear 185/65/R15's for $148 at Walmart. They could not balance them and apparently didn't know how to remove the SAAB emblems from the wheels because the pounded them out from the back, splitting the plastic ring off. I salvaged them with super-glue. They also could not balance them - no weights to fit. OW, later on that. The new tires are on the front and look great. Clearance looks fine. Thinking the badly checked rear tires should also be replaced while these tires are still available. OK, I really wanted Mini-Coooper tires (175/65/15) but no one had them except one shop had "ice tires". Anyway, the 185/65/15 advice was good. Looking for storage now. Inside if possible. I think this Sonett is very salvagable.
