New winter wheels & tyres. What do you reckon?
« on: 13 October 2011, 08:01:59 PM »
Here's the 215/55 16 97H XL Nokian A3 on 16 inch steel wheels with some cheap trims from Amazon and Saab stickers from eBay.  Put on today.  Just driven up the road and the ride is noticeably softer than the 225/45 17's.  Seem quiet too.

They don't look out of place  :) unless you really knew your stuff you'd be hard pushed to know they were not a factory fit

I'm pleased with the tyres and the look. :)  Something that looked like OE was what I was after.

The trims look better on the car than they did in the pictures at Amazon.

It's the Saab badges that make the difference :).

Altogether a really nice look to them. Well done that man.
My winter wheels are going on next week during my days off - I had a peek at the outside temp when setting off from LHR last night - 7 degrees........
