It felt good driving the car today after it has sat for a month. Weather was right so I took the advantage. Went about 70 miles with her.

I love it! looks real good.
sleepy, i never thought much of them until i sat in one. i liked it as much as the older audi interiors. my cuzin had one and i got to drive it. Total Blast! i'm a saab fan. i guess i just like dead car brands

What trim 9-3 is that? Engine? Etc.

Kayaus · 12-20-2013, 10:16 AM

Sig says 2.0T but that's all I can figure, I like the Saab even having never sat in one, always seemed like a nice cruiser

2000 GT Coupe · 12-20-2013, 10:27 AM

Ok for those that wanted to see the 255/225 match up

And as a bonus the car today up on jackstands while I start to tear out the steering rack.

TDavis · 12-20-2013, 10:42 AM

They look barely any wider

[ChaosweaveR] · 12-20-2013, 10:50 AM

I can tell the difference.

TruGreenGAGT · 12-20-2013, 10:55 AM

i see slight difference but also may be due to the angle perspective. pic with a tape measure or wheels seen front directly above would be better

There's a difference for sure, however, why stagger tires on a GA?

becuz RACECAR

TDavis · 12-20-2013, 11:13 AM

He wanted to fill the wheel wells more even though I'm lowered on the same springs and 225/40 does the job fine. The only reason I might be considereing 255/35 is to make my wider stance with the spacers look better. It looks perfectly fine now but wider tires would help.

On the tire calculator the sidewall height is exactly the same. So looking at the car from the side would literally look the same besides a more square and bigger tire.

Then again the brand and type of tire you go with makes a difference in how wide it looks. For shts I was going to get 255/35/18 all around Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

I.E.

[ChaosweaveR] · 12-20-2013, 12:04 PM

Even tires in the same size between brands are not the same exact height and width. Every company's casings for sizes vary. This is the main reason why it's not best to mix and match tires and stick with the same tire on all four corners.

Yeah it's a comfy car to drive. Still need to work some minor issues out but it runs and drives great!
