9-3SS snow tires... semperit? (continental)

Well, I found out this morning that the pirellis that come stock with the 03 9-3SS arc (with the 17' sport package) are like hockey pucks in the snow.
Called my guy at "2nd time around tire" to see what he had for reasonably cheap (spoiled myself with the old Viggen with yokahama performance snows which were awesome but cash is tighter this year:) and he said I should try Semperit snows which were available in the original size (224/45/17) for a good combination of still sporty handling, but good wet/snow grip. About $130 a piece installed and ballanced (I think)
Anyone have experience with this manufacturer? I understand they are the same company that makes Continentals as well, but I haven't had conti's in years.
anyone?
