Well, I'm not sure what size tires the '01 SE has - 16"? A couple years ago when I needed to put some new tires on my '00 Aero, my indie SAAB mechanic recommended Sumitomo's HTR+ . I asked him for advice and he told he used them on his '00 Aero. I got a set from Tirerack for $85/ea.
These have good grip, are inexpensive, and, when necessary, still have good traction those rare times when we have rain/snow. I replaced two of them a couple months ago after some road debris damaged two tires. They had 30K on them then - still had some usefull thread. As the winter was coming up I just bought another two new tires to replace my rears. I'll mount the best old tire on a spare rim, for use as a full-size spare.
You're bound to get a lot of advice on tires. Just check the reviews on Tirerack, and make a final decision based upon your own budget/needs.
Good Luck,
KevinH
