Yes, cars are different, Saab is FWD and Omega is not. But here in northern Finland we can have snow and ice about 5-6 months in a year and I mean just normal "kids in backseat so drive safely" -driving. But I wrote "I feel", Omega has ABS which Saab doesn't and Omega has also frictionlock in backwheels so it leaves Saab behind when accelerating in snow or ice. But I still feel that GoodYears are better. And both of these tyres have studs by the way so I'm not sure if these tyres are sold worldwide.
