Use wintertire in winter months. I have 205/16 55 as wintertires but they at far to wide. The best for winter months is 195/16. If you like to drive Just take the bad with the good ang keep driving on youre 17 inch wheels. If youre 9-5 is only 150hp change to 15 inch. The car do not need 17 inch wheels. Saab 9-5 Aero owner.
