Go with winter tyres, no car will perform good in snow with all seasons. Also don't foget the Saab is a heavier car than a honda, much more mementum to stop, do you have ABS? I sometimes find the best cars in snow are small, light econoboxes with skinny 155/70 13inch tyres. But the old 99 and 96 with 155's were brilliant in snow.
