Use 4 matched winter tires or you will have really bad handling problems. Here is some good information of winter tires. http://www.tirerack.com/winter/features/control.html My favorite? Goodyear Eagle UltraGrip GW2, H rated. Fine tires! http://www.goodyeartires.com/catalog/products/EAGUGGW2.html SaabNet has a lot of opinions - read up on the 9-5 or General Forums. http://saabnet.com/tsn/bb/ John Davies Monroe WA USA 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon 2000 Audi A4 quattro 1.8T 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4
