I just looked at a shop description for the HPs, which calls them "grand touring tires." Says not intended for near-freezing temperatures let alone ice and snow. The latter gives me pause enough, but the former suggests these aren't appropriate for the 9-5 Aero's character -- especially the 2002 and beyond models. But I'm still open-minded and appreciate all the great input so far. FYI, here's a key paragraph from the write up:
The Primacy HP is Michelin's Grand Touring Summer tire developed to provide longer tread life and lasting performance throughout the tire's life, as well as better braking, steering control and handling on wet roads. The Primacy HP meets Michelin's Green X standard* for low rolling resistance that confirms the tire's contribution to reducing vehicle fuel consumption and emissions of CO2 gases. While Primacy HP tires are designed to offer reliable traction in dry and wet conditions, they are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
