Open the phone book and keep your options open - the tires are fantastic and worth the drive/trouble if that's what it takes to get them. You might call some local tire shops to get "leads" (most will have no idea what a Nokian tire is, though), local saab independents (many carry them this time of year), and of course local saab dealers (who sometimes sell them, for a price...).
I travel in WI a lot in winter; two 900's w/ different snow tires. I had the previous generation Nokian Hakkapellita's in 185/65R15 on one (the jagged trapezoid tread, it's different now I see). They are among the very best in real snow, good on ice. As sure footed as they are in snow, that are that much less sure footed on dry pavement so I don't like them when in the big city. *However*, the new design is supposed to be improved in that area, so I dunno. I had Blizzak's on the other saab (and now put them on both). They are still good in snow (though not as indominatable as the Hakka's), but *much* more sure-footed and quiet on dry pavement. Also downright impressive on icy city streets. They are easily had at Firestone and other retailers. Anyway, two fine winter tires that shine under different circumstances/for different purposes.
