Yes, John.
They are the MXV4 standard 16" size. On stock rims.
Interestingly, I have these tires on my other Saab wagon as well, and only rotate them about 7000 miles, or whenever the winter tires need to go on. They wear evenly, and last forever.
In addition, I put a set of 16" 215-15 Primacy MXV4's on 8 inch rims (1//2 inch OVER recommended max), and they have been terrific! The turn-in is quicker, and the ride and wear remain the same.
In pothole country (Minneapolis) this seemed like a more durable setup, than 45 series tires.
Thanks for the comment
Craig
