They're sort of OK in the winter, and sort of OK in the summer. Better to buy a set of dedicated snow tires (I prefer Nokian; made in Finland), and a second set of summer tires. I just switched today, in fact, betting that Wisconsin won't be getting much if any more snow this season. The only downside is storage of a second set of tires, but the cost works out OK since each set is only wearing out half as fast. Some people actually don't mind the handling of "all-season" tires in the snow, but since you've obviously noticed the difference, might as well do it right. Saabs have always had the reputation for handling exceptionally well, no reason to cripple them with a compromise tire. Dave Hinz
