Here are some pictures I took while replacing the starter on my 08 Saab 9-7x. I added a photo of a cord I used to pull the transmission lines over..

Actually, I had the same problem in Eastern WA.. this year so I ordered the tires from Amazon and mounted & balanced them myself....

The 245/60/18 were my choice.. and I changed the tire size in the computer so they are accurate.

I upgraded this winter to some REAL 18" Saab wheels and sold the 17s pictured above.. plus some new Nokian R3s

Update new tires and wheels installed! Also cleaned up the shop so I can get both cars in again... winter is on it's way!

Got my new Nokian R3s from Amazon via Fedex. All 4 are now mounted and balanced (LOL) close for now... Sitting in the garage now with 45 psi until tomorrow late morning and I'll put them on the Saab.

here the GM one I ordered off an obscure site.. then after I was done I found my old 05 Rainier in a recycle yard.. and purchased the rear spoiler that I'd put on it... 08 5.3... I had to add larger expansion rubber things... as the 08 has a different lip on it that is not as thick...

Actually, a couple of weeks ago now... time flies... New Nokian ZLine Tyres for summer use. 109W Extra Load... like I would need the speed rating.... :dance:
