I'm sure it will get you where you want to go, but not sure why you would go with a tire that narrow and small on a car like the 9-5? The 205 and 215 sizes on 16 inch wheels that Saab offers are great, have terrific snow and bad surface traction, yet still retain a lot of the good driving properties that the summer tires offer. You might want to think about how many days in winter you actually are on non paved dry surfaces.I think tha most of those who have posted results on snows with the 9-5 have gone with the 16 inch size ,and cannot recall reading anyone's comments that the traction was insufficient to get through. I have used the SAab/Gislaved package on both my 9-5's and can attest to it in NH
