Subject: Re: Winter tyres for Saab 9-3 converts


If you have a Viggen, You simply CAN'T go to 15 inch, because of its 16 inch braking system. But if you don't have a Viggen, I should say go for the 15 inch, because in the snow you just want small tires for the best grip. I use 215/45/17 in the summer and 185/65/15 in the winter (Unfortunately my Saab isn't a Viggen) "Joseph D.
