Where in PA? I'm originally from SE PA and Blizzaks

would be way over-kill in my opinion.
A decent 4-season tire with A Traction and A Temperature ratings would get the job done--and save you the expense of running soft winter tires on clear roads for most of the winter.
Different than construction, PennDOT is actually pretty good for snow removal and it's rare that you'd actually have more than a day or two of actual snow covered main roads where you'd take true advantage. Heck, I lived in Central/Western PA for 5 years too, with a front wheel drive Subaru, never ever owned a set of winter tires, and got-around just fine. Although once I did get in a single car accident with a curb and tree in a parking lot doing an impossible hellish combination sequence of backwards stunt driver reverse donuts, but that's a different story...no amount of tread can make-up for stupidity. :)
Occasional ice spots and pot holes are another story. I don't own a Viggen, but from what I've read on here it might be worthwhile to consider some different wheels with 4-seasoners if you do choose to go that route.
Ha ha, of course if you're from Florida, you may want to do everyone else up there a favor by keeping your performance tires and just not driving for a couple of months over the winter...or when it's raining... or dark. :)
