are folks here recommending? These are for the '03 9-5 Linear Wagon. I'll probably go with 195/65 x 15 on steelies. The car has Winter Mode, ESP and TCS, so traction shouldn't be a huge issue.
I'm not convinced there is enough benefit to the $115 to $135 tires from Nokian or the others to justify the difference over some of the stuff from Dunlop or others that are under $90 at Tire Rack. They have some good choices and the winter wheel package is tough to beat.
My wife drives this car 95% of the time and she is a very moderate driver and knows how to deal with snow. We're in Southern NH and it's hilly so I want to be sure she's on some decent winter boots.
