All Weather Tires For SAAB 9 - 5?

I have an outstanding set of Artic Alpins mounted on Steel rims with hub caps. They are only 2 months old. No more worrying about winter, and no need to have them remounted every other season. They will fit your car and I only want $300 for them. The engine seized on our car, and I need to unload them. Email me if you are interested. Dave

Opinions are like........well you know the rest. Here's mine. While driving a $30K car, one should not compromise on the "little things" to save a few bucks. Feed it Premium fuel. Lubricate it with Synthetic oil. Stick it to the road with four little patches of the best rubber for the seasonal conditions. Tires designed to be "sticky" at high speed on hot summer pavement are gonna SUCK on ice and snow as surely as a great winter tire will be rougher and sqealier when driven hard. Once you've driven a great set of rain tires in the rain, or ice tires on ice, you'll know why SAAB dealers do good business selling winter tire/wheel sets for $1100.

The M+S MXV4s are not strict performance tires designed for hot LA boulevard racing. I've used them for two winters in Michigan on a 9-5 wagon, in the 215/55/16 size, with very secure traction. Ditto for

Maybe snow tires would be significantly better, I don't know. But in SE Michigan snow, these tires have been good.

To add a bit, I am also very experienced in winter driving, having grown up in Chicago, with many years dwelling in Colorado and Michigan. Based on my skills, these tires do let me get places with appropriate driving for snow. If you are similarly experienced in everyday snow driving, I expect you know what I mean by that.
