Saab Car Tyres

etyres supply and fit a comprehensive range of Saab tyres and our prices are considerably less expensive than the main dealerships and tyre depots.
We also provide a free mobile fitting service which means you can choose to have your tyres fitted at home or at your place of work, so you don't have to waste time in a tyre depot or garage.

Tyres have a major role in the handling quality of Saab vehicles; each model has been certified with a selection of tyre and wheel dimensions so only these sizes can be fitted on your model.

Here are some examples of tyres fitted to some Saab models – but we advise you to check the size of the tyres currently fitted to your vehicle before placing your order. You can find this information on the sidewall of your existing tyre. Alternatively you can call our National Sales Team on 0800 028 9000 for help and impartial advice or to place an order.

Background Information on Saab

Saab is now owned by Swedish supercar company Spyker, having parted company with General Motors in 2010. It is once again producing cars at Trollhätten Sweden, and has brought on board new designer Jason Castriota, formerly designer for Ferrari and Maserati, to recover sales and return to profitability.
With a 9-4x and new look 9-3 model in the pipeline, the manufacturer has also revealed it is developing a smaller model 9-2 for future launch.

Changing Saab Tyres

Changing Saab Car Tyres should require 3 primary choices:

• The overall quality of the tyre (durability, wear, ratings, cost) desired for the Saab
• The speed rating that the Saab Tyres should have depending upon the driver's average and occasional "fastest-driven" speed
• Deciding if local and/or regional weather patterns merit keeping two sets of tyres for dry vs. wet road conditions

Further, if an owner wishes to put tyres on different sized wheels for the Saab, a careful decision about what size tyres will be valid for that Saab is required. If, for example, a larger wheel size is desired, then the profile (height) and/or the width must be reduced to avoid damaging the drive train. A 195/65/15 tyre for that Saab, for instance, on a 17" rim, could legitimately become a 165/65 (narrower) or a 195/55 (shorter) but could not stay a 195/65 as before. A handy calculator for changing tyre sizes can be found here.

All tyres for any Saab vehicle should be fitted using the proper torque, according to the manufacturer's specifications. Torque is the amount of pressure used to tighten the wheel nuts. For tyres that are fitted to the following Saab models, the torque settings are listed. Also, the recommended air pressure to put into tyres for Saab models is listed. Further, the alternate tyre size for Saab models.

Note: Further information on tyres and car batteries for Saab vehicles may be found at the manufacturer's own website... Saab
