Subject: Re: 9-3 OEM Michelin MXV4s in Winter?


I have driven a Saab since 1985 with a few different tires. While all-seasons are good enough on a Saab in the winter, I found that dedicated winter tires made the Saab fun to drive in the snow and ice. A Saab with dedicated winter tires can go up hills that leave four-wheel drives spinning all four wheels. If you just want to get from A to B, the all-seasons are fine. If you want to play and have fun in the snow - get the dedicated winter tires. Barry Test wrote: > I have a 2000 9-5 with the same tires and drive in Ohio and Michigan and > find them to work well.
