I guess they were my first idea, since I always ran Hakkas on my 9000T. The Hakkas have worn very well for me in the past. When I first got my 2001 Aero (early last March - had to wait for a non-snowy day to go get it, at a dealer 80 miles away!) I had a set of Hakkas and steel wheels waiting for me at the dealer. I drove directly there and left the car for the switchover.
The Aero is very steady and stable with 4 Hakkas mounted. My overall experience is that my previous Saab - a 9000T - was somewhat more "tank-like" in heavy snow - but that the 9-5 Aero is almost as good. The lower ground clearance of the Aero makes for a bit more "squirm" in really deep snow, but once you figure it out, no big deal.
Hakkas are also not too expensive, although not as cheap as they used to be. I have also driven Gislaveds (mine wore out relatively quickly) and Blizzaks (not as good in heavy snow as either of the other two.)
