That the T=DCV didn't find it was probably just a coincidence. 185/65R15 (perimeter: 1896mm,205/60: 1912mm) is the absolutest maximum diameter in the tolerance. Depending on model year the only allowed 15" tyre sizes are 185/65R15 and 195/60R15(1876mm), this 205/55(1850mm) is allowed in combiantion with the above mentioned little modifications only, AFAIK this also goes for the 195 on 6" rims. For other permieters you need to adapt your speedometer and have it checked by T=DCV (expensive), taller tires might not be approved anyway. Have a look at the german forum www.saab-cars.de. It has been discussed at lot there. > What is the weight difference for Saab wheels? I know that the from: http://www.saab-cars.de/showthread.php?t=3D10739 16" Aero : 8,25 kg 16" Cross Spoke: 7,90 kg 15" Turbo : 7,50 kg 15" short spoke: 6,75 kg steel shouldn't be much more... /T.
