- The 155 TR 15 Michelin X is also a good option for the nimble 96.
- For these tyres, the Michelin 15E is the ideal innertube.

History of the Saab 96
Built between 1960 and 1980, the Saab 96 came as a replacement for the Saab 93, from which it was heavily based, with some developments from the old Saab 92 chassis. From 1967 on, the V4 version would start to appear; a secret development between Saab engineer Rolf Mellde and Saab major stockholder Marc Wallenberg. Though the Saab 93 had been the first Saab exported outside of Sweden, the Saab 96 was the first car to be officially imported into the UK. It would enjoy motorsport success, contending with its main Swedish rival, Volvo. The Saab 99 was intended to replace the 96 in 1969, however, the Saab 96 would continue to be sold up until 1980, when the Saab 99 was replaced by the Saab 900.
