225/45R17 on a set of take-off Klingon wheels bought on this BBS. $155 per tire, total: mounted, balanced & taxed. I was able to wax the wheels before the tires were mounted which should help with the brake soot.
I know, I know, 17" isn't the optimum size for snows, but deep snow is only a small part of the time, and the Aero sits so close to the ground that body clearance is an issue then anyway. I'd rather have the improved handling the 17's provide during the remainder of the time.
As to low profile blowouts - the Hakka's come with a road hazzard warrantee - how about that! Too bad Michelin doesn't think enough of the OEM tires they sell SAAB to stand behind them like that. If a rim gets mangled, I have 7 more just like it.
Another significant benefit - you can replace the donut spare with one of your out-of-season wheel/tires. Very nice. Anybody want a 9-5 donut?
