Best All Season 215-55-16 tire for 6.5" wide rim Posted by Kevin K [Email] (#374) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Kevin K) on Fri, 9 Dec 2011 08:12:08 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It's been a while since I last posted, after my beloved 1983 Saab 900T 2door was totaled, while parked in front of my house, by a hit&run drunk driver. Some of my past 900 classic contributions to TSN, found in "links" in the grey box at the page bottom:

This was my article for the "Saab Nines" newsletter, with pics of my old car:

------------------
I now have another car. Due to a chronic left foot pain, Saab 900's & 9-3's were no longer an option. It has 6.5" x 16" rims, perhaps like the 9-3 Saabs. I've noticed many have 215-55-16 tires on them, like Pirelli P6 All Seasons.
My questions:
Is this a standard tire and wheel size for newer 9-3 Saabs?
What's the best allseason tire for them? (Separate set of snows not needed)
Is the 215x55 too wide, based on your experience, for the 6.5" wide rim?
Thanks for your time.
