I recently purchased a 2004 9-3 Aero...with the 17" wheels/pirellis. This car, as is, stinks in the snow. This morning, I was embarrased that it couldn't even get me up a small, somewhat snowy incline, at low speed (as an AWD Volvo and an old Ford Escort zipped right past me up the hill). The AWD clearly has the advantage but the Escort??? I realize snow tires would help, but would they markedly improve snow weather performance? It's disastrous, as of right now in the snow. - tex
