I have talked to many very knowledgeable Saab people regarding tires on the 4 1/2" Sonett wheels. What they say is this. Although you can mount a 185/60 15 or 185/65 15 onto these wheels these sizes are not recommended for less than a 5 1/2" rim. Therefore, when you mount these sizes onto the stock 4 1/2" rims the tire's designed performance and saftey engineering qualities are compromised. I talked lately with Jack Lawrence of MSS regarding this issue and he is in the process of supplying widened (5 1/2")soccer ball rims to those who wish to mount performance tires in the above sizes. Good luck!
