Tire Sidewall problems of the 2001 SAAB 9-3

Not a failure, but misleading information to consumers which might lead to problems. I was sold dunlop sp sport fm901 tires for my SAAB 9-3 (I am fairly safety conscious) and was told that they were snow legal by just tires, a goodyear owned dealer. Recently, I checked inflation and looked for the m&s rating on the sidewall--not there. I looked on the dunlop web site. . . It showed that the tires rated a "5" for snow on their 1-10 performance scale (indicating to a reasonably intelligent person that they would be average, I. E. , what one would expect for an all- season tire). Just to be sure, I sent a web-based inquiry to dunlop. Goodyr came back to tell me they were not m&s but that they did score a 5 rating. It seems to me that having any snow rating, not to mention a 5, for a tire which is not m&s rated is dangerous and misleading. I know that the dealer will deny that they told me the tires were rated, so all I can do is to point out the problem to NHTSA and consumer outlets. Hope you can convince goodyear-dunlop to stop the misleading practice. Thanks.
