You bet! Second week I had the car, I got stuck on a small incline in a parking lot with the stock tires. By the third week, I got winter tires.. Get dedicated snow tires, and you won't go back to all seasons. Last winter I made regular runs from Denver to Aspen for a project (3-4 hours each way), often during snowstorms and the return trip in the dark. My Michelin Artic Alpins are extremely sure footed on hardpack and road visibility, freezing wiper fluid from the dealership, and darn speed limits seemed to be the only real limitations. I didn't lack grip if you are gentle on the go pedal and fluid on the steering wheel. I prefer my Viggen over my 4x4 '80 IH ScoutII for everything but off-road and deep snow.
Oh, also keep in mind traction control wasn't on the Viggen until '01, but I haven't missed it and found it to be a bit too conservative when using it at the Viggen Flight Academy.
