Snow tires in Chicago?

Do any fellow Saabnetter's in Chicago use snow tires? I have a 1991 C900 that is now primarily my 'winter beater'. I drove it last winter with Goodyear Assurance Comfortread tires without any issues. I moved to Chicago 5 years ago from the south and have only gotten "stuck" once when I drove my Pathfinder into a ditch (don't ask).
The streets are typically plowed and salted from shoulder to shoulder - are snow tires a waste of money? I already have a spare set of steel wheels, so I'm thinking $500 for 4 Blizzaks + mounting.
Any thoughts?
