Just installed the third? Fourth? set in a row on the 97 Aero. Smooth, quiet, good grip ... i use winter tires each winter, so can't really comment on the snow traction.
I do have some Continental DWS on the 98 CSE; they handle fine; going for a slightly softer ride on the Aero's aging springs (you can get either the 89H or 91H if you want a slightly higher load rating/max inflation).
Continental and GM both have rebates running now if you have a GM dealer nearby that will price match Tire Rack. I've used both in the past.
