The Michelin Pilots that came on my '02 9-5 Aero were absolute death in
the snow -- sliding through intersections like you say was almost
unavoidable.  I didn't want to go through the remounting &etc like Dave
mentioned, but I didn't want to cough up hundreds of $$ for alloy rims
either.  (Everybody including the dealer said the Aero cannot use steel
rims, though I don't remember why.)

So I tried high-performance all-seasons.  Ended up with the Pirelli
PZero Nero, which were rated very highly at tirerack.com including for
ice/snow.  Pretty good tires on dry roads, though they "tramline" badly
on rain grooves.  (Rain grooves tend to grab them and throw you to
one side or the other.)  In the snow, though, I was seriously
unimpressed.  They're barely acceptable for my driving, which only
involves light snow maybe 4-6 times a year.  There is no way you could
call these things "winter tires."

Maybe somebody knows of good all-seasons that actually work on snow.  
But unless you get a good solid recommendation or very seldom drive in
snow, I wouldn't go the all-season route.

Removing the wheels every now and then, and cleaning the hubs from rust,
is also necessary if you drive in wet/snow climate where roads are
salted. If you don't, you may loose your wheels due to broken bolts, as
a result of the decreased tensioning of the bolts. Saabs had very little
problems with rust on hubs until the 9-3/9-5, where it seems necessary
to clean the hubs very carefully at least twice per year if you have
alloy rims. If you have a 9000 or older models the rust problem (at
least on Saab original hubs) is not very significant but a brief
cleaning at least once per year is anyway recommended.

Thus there is no extra work involved in changing between summer and
winter tyres. Saab workshops doesn't seem to do anything about the
problem. When I had my 9-5 rear hubs/discs changed some time ago, they
just attached the wheels, no protection in the form of copper or
aluminum paste, and after a couple of months the 9-5 hubs had rusted
more than the 9000 hubs do in two years.

Should anyone be interested, I have a set of 4 original saab
steel rims for sale, these have have never been on a car . These are 5
lug, 15" type that fit a wide variety of models and years.

I have been doing the winter / summer swap with 2 set of wheels/tires
for all my cars for years and find it is the best of all worlds.
