Most of the new Nokian WR tires, all rated severe service with the mountain and snowflake symbol, have an xl load rating, which is greater than what would be the norm for a given size. For example, I just had 4 215/55-16H WR tires installed on Saab alloys. This size normally carries a 91 or 93 load rating. The Nokians have a 97 rating. They have proven to be quite good in both wet and dry, cannot wait for snow. I also think you might want to choose this size rather than the 17" size. I paid $129 per tire, installed and balanced. I think Ronal,toll free number can be found somewhere on saabnet, has some Saab 16" take offs at about $100 per wheel. Tire rack also has some wheels on clearance. Good luck, and safe Saab snow driving[more fun than skiing.]
