n'Tire Truth

Last year I had picked up a set of Gislaved snow tires on Saab rims (ebay specials) in a 205-50-16 size and used them on my wife's 9-5 without incident (decent handling, good traction, quiet) through a typical New England winter. I now have an opportunity to do an instant replay for my 9-5 wagon (same size tires, but in a snow-rated all-season performance tire), but my local tire dealer is cautioning me that they won't be a satisfactory fit. I'd appreciate hearing your collective "spin" (pun intended!) on what size tires might be reasonably used on a 9-5 rim in addition to the stock 215-55-16's. Thanks!
