A 165/70-15 would be the closest match, but good luck finding tires in that size. If you put that tire on your car, you would instantly become the laughing stock of the entire Saab community. I suggest, yet again, that you go with the 185/65-15 as I previously recommended. Since 900 turbos of this era used 195/60-15s, I'm sure you will have no trouble with this tire size as it is a close match in diameter but slightly narrower. Tire Rack has a wide variety of "touring"-class tires available in this size for the $40-$50/ea range, and I'm sure you could find an off-brand for this price or cheaper by shopping around. -Doug
