Yes, snow tires are needed in Chicago. With the wide low profile tires, when you get a moderate amount of snow (4"+) you aren't going anywhere. (average snowfall in Chacago 42" per year) My first moderate snow in my then new 2000 9-5 wagon left me stuck in the parking lot. Having had 900's since 79, it was a shock. You can do what many owners do and get the tire and steel wheel packages from Tire Rack. The blizzacks work well and I believe the package for four wheels and tires is under $500. I have been running them on my 9-5 and wife's 9-3. For a good dealer, try Flikama Saab in Lansing.
