Answer
Mick,

As you are probably aware, vehicles differ from country to country.

My book - Tire Guides - is a US based reference and what it shows is what was sold in the US.  That may not be exactly what is sold elsewhere, so it is necessary for you to find the vehicle placard to be sure the following information is correct.

According to Tire Guides, all the years of the Saab 9-7 came with P255./55R18 104H's or V's, inflated to 32 psi front and rear.

In order to get the same load carrying capacity a 265/40R22 needs to use 4 psi more - 36 psi.
