Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Sava Intensa UHP 2 225-45-17 Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector Sport TiD 150 Saloon 20,000 miles October 12, 2025
4 seasons in, and very pleased with this tyre.
Over 30.000kms with them and they still look good and have plenty of tread left.

Dry grip is very good, as well as braking. In dry corners, the car stays pointed with little to no unusual behaviour, gives a very safe feeling, although they may show some understeer on the limit.

Wet grip is good, wet braking could feel a bit safer. Aquaplaning is good compared to other tyres of similar price.

Noise is good, but not as good as its winter brother Sava Eskimo. Not able to give a comment on comfort since im running on 45 profile but subjectively its okay. Wear is better than expected.

Definitely gets a recommend.

Sava Eskimo HP2 225-45-17 Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector Sport TiD 150 Saloon 28,000 miles October 12, 2025
Very good tyre that still holds on after 5 seasons and over 45.000kms. The tread is still good for another season.

Ice grip is good, snow grip is even better. Dry braking is good. In dry corners, the sidewall tends to bend to the point that you think the rim is going to touch the ground, which may give an unpleasant feeling and also a lack of security, but the car stays on its projected trajectory. Noise level is pleasant. Rubber compound is still soft to the touch even after all these years. The outer tread is prone to visual damages that look like punctures, but they are not, and they have no impact on the driving whatsoever.

Definitely gets a recommend, though i think they are more suitable for less heavier cars.

Debica Presto UHP2 245-40-18- Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector Sport TiD 150 Saloon 20,000 miles August 3, 2021
These tires served me well for last 4 years. I've decided to go back to original alloys now but still will go with Debica.

Nokian zLine 225-45-17- Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector Sport TiD 150 Saloon 10,000 miles May 7, 2020
I purchased them to replace Michelin Primacy... and it was mistake. Wet performance is extremely poor on these, and I will recommend anyone to stay away from these as on wet they are for brave people. They glide on little wet. They are ok on dry, but I expected much more from Nokian, especially from they elevated prices. Unfortunately Nokian is known to be well in tests and poor in real life. If I would new it before purchasing, I would buy something else. Good that they discounted this model, I do not know how current are performing, but never more Nokian for me.

Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 225-45-17-V Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector Sport TiD 150 Saloon 18,000 miles January 19, 2020
These tyres were fitted to the car shortly before I bought it and now, 18,000 miles later, the fronts are under 3mm and ready to be changed.

I drive 100 miles a day commuting on mixed roads at varying speeds in all weather conditions . The fact that I can't remember anything specific about them probably says they're pretty good all rounders. Not the sharpest turn in, but that's mainly the car's wooden steering rather than the cars fault.

I'd prefer they had lasted longer, but then I don't know how long they were on before I got the car. Overall, pretty good value for money I would say.

Good dry and wet grip. Sportive character. Good value for money. Much better than Chinese budget tyres.

Pirelli PZero Nero 225-45-17-W Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector Sport TiD 150 Saloon 7,456 miles October 15, 2018
Hey
Since I used this site to choose my tires, here is my review on Pirelli PZero Nero
I'm have them from 2 seasons now.
Great tires for summer ! great grip on dry and wet (not really great at fast cornering,but maybe I wanted to have a bit of split).
I drive mostly city,but been outside for few road trips,and they do great on highway.
Downside: u have to get use to them in wet conditions.
Did hit few potholes(since I can recall it,they were big) and no problem so far , no bubbles or flats.
Will buy them again,when their live is over.

No No No had fitted to my Saab 9-3 vector sport and they worned down by 10000 miles and it's not like my tyres pressures were low as I'd check em very week and the lowest they got was 34 psi and not the mention the support these tyres give when handling and braking are very sh*t and offer no real support in dangerous conditions. Id get better grip out my gran's false teeth so I would highly recommend not getting these tyres

GT Radial SportActive 225-45-17-W Saab Automobile 9 3 Vector Sport TiD 150 Saloon 7,000 miles March 22, 2017
Planning to sell my car, I bought a pair of these cheap tyres replacing the Goodyear Eagle F1's on the front wheels of my Saab 1.9 Tid. Dry grip is acceptable, they seem to last quite long (been 7000 miles so far and they look new) and that's about it. Wet grip, feedback and handling are awful for what you'd expect from a 'performance tyre'. Goes in aquaplaning very easily, even when new.
These are NOT performance tyres as advertised. If you're looking for proper performance tyres you might be better off buying part-worn premium tyres like Conti Sportcontact, Michelin Pilot Sport etc. However, if you're only looking for a pair of tyres to run your car legally as I was, they will do the job.
