Replaced Viggen OEM Rims/Tires: Fantastic Results

FYI to all those out there struggling with the organ-skaking, erratic pulling, tram-lining, feel-every-pebble ride that the Viggen OEM rims and tires offer up: I switched to Saab 16" rims with Pirelli P-Zero tires and the difference is dramatic.
Despite the argument that there is less control, I'd argue otherwise - the fact that you don't have to constantly fight with the steering wheel enables you to focus on shifting, accelerating, and driving, rather than struggle to keep the car under control. The ride is quieter and 100 times more pleasant, with no apparent sacrifice to handling. I should have done this when I bought the car. Of course, the smaller rims don't look as hot, but it's a minor sacrifice.
