We are skiers...could you tell?

Looking to replace the original tires (possibly rims) and need suggestions or experienced drivers to comment.

SAAB has a tire/wheel combo for winter special at $225 - made for SAAB by a Swedish Tire Maker.

Also considering suggestions as follows but the key is to maintain vehicle performance and good riding tire along with traction for the passes and those cold slick days:

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 ($151)
Dunlop Graspic DS-1 ($104)
Michelin Pilot Alpin ($135)
Pirelli Winter 240 SnowSport ($179)

Thanks

Please do not buy any of the tire off your
list before you have a look at Nokian Nrw. It
will deliver the exact performance you descri
bed.
The swedish tire you are talking about is
Gislaved. It's better tire than any showed on
your list!

Check out www.nokiantires.com (N. America) or www.nokiantyres.com (Europe). The N. American page has a link to dealer information.
