Re: Snow Tires for '03 Aero Posted by Caarl [Email] (#447) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Caarl) on Tue, 24 Jul 2007 07:14:05 In Reply to: Snow Tires for '03 Aero, Wasabi, Tue, 24 Jul 2007 07:02:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Saab recommends 16" wheels for snow tires on the Aero. You should use a higher profile tire like a 55 series, so the outside diameter of the wheel+tire is not much different than 17" wheels with a 45 series tire. Your owner's manual will give details.
I don't know whether the NG900 rims are right though, what with offset, clearances for brakes, and whatnot.
(Funny note: my owner's manual recommends 205/55 R16 for winter tires, but if you look at the wheel+tire winter package that Saab sells for the 9-5 it's 215/55 R16, which is their recommended summer tire size in 16". Go figure.)
