My advice partly depends on where you live and how you will use the car, but my 98XC is now on Bridgestone RE950's which are GREAT in the dry and the rain (I live in Seattle), but not so hot in the snow. The original Contis were better in the snow, but I use Michelin Arctic Alpins in the winter anyway.
The responsiveness and handling with the Bridgestones is terrific.
If you are looking for one tire for year-round use, including snow, of the three tires I have had, I would go with the original Contis. That said, I can't overemphasize what a HUGE difference dedicated studless snow tires like the Michelins make.
