mechanic here, this is a great thing to do as long as the tires arent rotational and the thread on the tires that goes to the rear is still good. Ideally the best tires should be on the rear to avoid loosing the rear, even on FWD cars
Logic tells me that the better tires should go on the front, since they’re responsible for powering the car and cornering/steering. But then again, I’m not a trained mechanic lol
@@AutoAutopsy I also ran my best tires in the front right up until some icy conditions made the rear slip in a straight line on my 1.8t Vector, not fun
@@tobbsnobb1366 interesting perspective, sure that was fun lol. I almost smacked my 2007 aero today, it was pouring and this lady was just sitting in the middle of the street, literally. Mini heart attack for sure. Had to slide past her half on the shoulder lol.
I guess that it makes sense considering that it’s easier to manage to control when most of the time a slower car can be easier to regain control
Just to confirm, did you check if your tyres are directional? If so you either need to unmount the rear ones to cross them over on the front.
They aren’t directional. I thought I had mentioned that in the video, but I guess not. My apologies!
@@AutoAutopsy That's good they aren't so don't have to switch them. It's one of those things that is easily missed even if you've taken a few wheels off when doing a job
👍🏼👊🏼
You might want to mention that if you have directional tires (or wheels), you can't rotate driver's to passenger's side.
Indeed. When I was a teen I was also taught that one should keep radials on the same side of the car, that the move from rear to opposite side in front was only for bias ply tires. Maybe that’s no longer true.
Very true; forgot to mention that in the video. Mine aren’t directional thankfully
....and in a Saab, the front tires are also taking a he11 of a boost-shredding!! XD
😂😂
The guys writing the best tires go at the rear are correct. This way you avoid that it unexpectedly breaks out because of less grip back than at front. Too much camber on a 9-5 means worn bushings and it can happen pretty quickly. Maintenance wise the whole rear suspension construction is just crap.
👊🏼👍🏼
I keep 45 psi pressure in tires with my 2007 2.3 t. Saves fuel.
Quite high, but interesting. Thanks.
And if you want to drive safe in bad road conditions. You ALWAYS!! ALWAYS!! Put the best tire's in the rear no matter if the car is 4WD or 2WD. To rotate the tire's like this i just unnecessary if you don't live in the dessert. If the front one's are worn down, buy new ones and put the new ones in the rear and the old rear ones in the front. Please avoid hydroplaning in the rain and snow, it will make your life so much easier :P
Love the vid's, keep it up! :D
How is it unnecessary? I’d put the best tires up front, especially on a car like this. They’re the ones doing all of the work!,
@@AutoAutopsy Amen brother! I understand this for a rear wheel drive car to help mitigate oversteer but with a front drive I'm with you. The good front tread will move the water (mostly) out of the way for the rears.
👊🏼😁
@@AutoAutopsy It is not necessary because you don't have to change all 4 tires at once. For safety reasons you want the best tires to be in the back for the car to straighten up when loosing grip. Especially on snow or when aquaplaning.
My good tyres are on the back of my fwd VW Caddy but I need more grip up front. I've had my van sideways doing 80km on a mountain. The back just simply slides at that speed in the rain. The front pulls me out of it. I'd rather have good tyres up front so I can floor it out.
Great vid. Unfortunately, I drive my Saab only about 4,000 miles or less a year. My mechanic tells me the tire treads are fine but I have “tire rot”
Not the worst problem to have! 😅
@@AutoAutopsy BTW RaoUF ATM has a great vid. about bringing the last generation 9-3 version to 2021. Very interesting.
Lend me your car, I’ll take care of adding miles on for ya.
Most tyres (tires) now are sided by direction so driver side ones cannot be swapped for passenger side ones - even my 2007 9-3 owner's manual says this!
Mine aren’t…I have yet to see a Saab with directional tires lol. Good advice for those who do have directional tires, however
Like the Star Wars shirt! How about a Mando shirt with "This is the Way" on it? (that is, how to work on Saab's)
It was for a Star Wars themed game at my university a couple years back haha
I enjoy this channel and your passion for the cars! Timmy C Arizona
Thank you!
Can you tell us where you got the rims, the size and the offset? I’m terrible with that and I want new wheels on my 95. Did you install spacers?

No problem. They’re aftermarket
@@AutoAutopsy aah, okay, I was waiting genuine saab, can you recommend any 18s that will fit my 07 9-5 wagon????I'd appreciate the help being new to saab..... I need genuine as in the UK aftermarket bumps up insurance by a big amount.....thanks Mark....

Question ! Just bought a 04 Saab 93 Aero (2.0) and my gas gauge reads empty but the car is full of gas. Would it be a censor of some type or?
I have an 06 93. It just seems to be a saab thing in all honesty. I panicked when my gauge read empty but quick fix is just calculate your mpg n tank size and reset your trip meter every time you fill up. But yeah, it's a messed up sensor long story short. Best of luck!
Fuel level sender
@@idiot7107 yeah I read everywhere how common it is and removing everything to get to the sensor is pretty annoying, but thank you I really appreciate !
@@AutoAutopsy thank you!
dude, what size are your rims?
18
Jacob, ice block tail lights?
Yep 👍🏼👍🏼
@@AutoAutopsy I love ice blocks, as well! So glad my 2010 XWD has them!
What type of tires did you say you had on there?
Nitto Motivo
What wheels do you have on the blue 9-3?

Just buy new tires ~ Tire shops in the comments
🤣
So rf tire goes left rear and so on?
No. Fronts go straight back, rears come forward and go diagonal
Ahhhaaaa. Thank you!!
Just wondering where did the name auto autopsy come from?
Randomly came up with it years ago. No real story
first
