I should add, the bf goodrich and Bridgestones were recommended by tsn posters (Justin VanAbrahams forthe BF's iirc, and Noel for the re970as). Sensible choices for these cars imho.
I would have tried Zline but they weren't really available locally at the time. I had Nokian summers years ago on a c900 that were amazing tires and frequently run their winter tires also. The nokian website doesn't suggest the entyre for the 9-5 and seems to have 2 more new tires that look like the line/zline. I think nokian line would be the most appropriate nokian tire for the 9-5 unless you take yours to the track.
At one point, I ran Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Those were awesome if you don't mind tire wear :-P... they were great while they lasted, but the tires I listed above have 99% of the real world performance in terms of what you'd experience with a 9-5 and last significantly longer. None of them are really all season tires except that they might do better in April/October temperatures here than summers would. None of them are really designed for snow, though they do expel moisture well. There is effectively no siping on any of these, so they are essentially summers.
