I would not say that it is a "Use snows and its no problem" situation as another poester did.
I have the recommended Saab setup with the 16" rims and the Gislaved Nordfrost-II tires.
I found that I was able to get where I needed to go and we had some significant snow in the NE this last winter. I am considering studs this year, as there are conditions which really challenge the stability or rather ability...
In the slimy/slushy road conditions the damn tires are just too wide to handle steer or stop well... again this being a factor of the tire width, and not any other item,, IE these are good tires and the car is quite capable, my thought is that with the studs I will penetrate the slime and get down to the hard surface underneath.
The Viggen site very low, and any7 appreciable snow will result in you becomgn a snow plow and as such you will need to moperate the depth of snow you try to negotiate, and this height situation becomes apparent in newly plowed road, where chunks of snow can eaily be hit by the air dam.. not complaining here, just making the observation.
