Re: 2003 Saab 9-5 wagon hi speed vibration
Low profile tires shouldn't give any problems. The Hirsch version does even have 8x18" with low profile tires as standard and I know people that have had 20" wheels on and I have never heard about this problem.
The problem is likely inbalace in the wheels/tires or brake disks |

A little vibration is pretty normal in cars with larger engines in combination with front-wheel drive. However, I have never experienced this in my 2004 9-5 Estate. Try to perhaps buy some 16' instead and see if that helps?
However, I agree with SaabJohan: Hirsch has standard 18's and there is no known problems with those. |
