Maybe my problem is different because I have an Aero, but I priced the Nokian though Les Schwab and with shipping charges (plus $140 per wheel for the only wheel they carry to fit the Aero) they were almost $200 more than the Saab special. I went with the Saab deal (16" Gislaveds and wheels) and they seem to be working just fine. As for their performance in the winter, they saved my bacon the other day went I dove into a corner that had black ice. The tires (not studded) griped quite well and allowed me to maintain control. I could not find any 16" steel wheels that would fit my car. I am not sure if that relates to all 9-5's.
Good luck
