Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2002-2014 Saab 9-3?

What tyre size does the 2002-2014 Saab 9-3 use?

What should Saab 9-3 drivers know about UK potholes?

Are all-season tyres suitable for the Saab 9-3?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Saab 9-3 drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
