Subject: All Weather Tires For  SAAB 9 - 5?


I have bought a 2001 9 - 5 wagon with Michelin MXV4 215/55 R 16 tires. The tires are rated "M and S" for mud and snow, but the Michelin dealer also describes them as a "performance" tire, and they can be very poor in snow. 215 cm. seems a very wide tread, and I questiion whether it allows enough down pressure for traction. I note that SAAB recommends 205 cm. for actual snow tires. Has anyone had experience with the 215's in snow? I dont need super performance (I am very experienced with winter driving), but I want to be able to get places. Many thanks in advance.
