Saab 9-3 Spare Tires
The Saab 9-3 used a 5x110 mm bolt pattern for all models from 1999 to 2011 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.1" to 26.3" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Saab 9-3 years and options. In this case, 125/70R17, 125/80R17 and 125/80R18 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Saab 9-3 spare tire.
