Maybe I mixed up the numbers somewhat. It could be that the SAAB package was 16" last year, but a narrower size (195 v 205). This year I think the package deal is 205/??/16 at ~$225/per. I can get a 195/??/15 from Tirerack for about 1/2 that amount. The obvious difference is that the dealer package is on alloy wheels and the tirerack set are steel wheels.
In the past, I've tried to avoid running alloy in the winter because I thought the sand and salt would to a job on them. Then there's the pot hole issue, too. We have lots of them here in Maine - and a couple years ago I put a nice dent in a steel wheel on my 9000. Fortunately it was pounded out and off I went - if that had been alloy, I would have been looking at a much higher bill.
