While the Assurance Triple Tread is a really amazing tire (very long life and very highly rated weather performance) I'm given the impression it's a rather pedestrian tire in regards to performance (since it's not even a "touring" tire) and that you probably could find something that has a better balance performance to weather tolerance.
I've got Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S on my car, and I think they're outstanding (and highly recommended on Tirerack.com--number #1 in High Performance All Season.) They are pricey, but I see they are only a bit more expensive than the Triple Treads. They have provided very good snow performance this winter and last (though my 02 9-5 has both traction control and ESP, and I think yours doesn't come with ESP.)
I think you'll be better satisfied by a tire that's at least a touring tire.
