Winter and Cold weather presents some of the most challenging driving conditions.  But for a real winter car, such as for example Saab  – winter conditions are not a problem.

For example, we have a good old Saab 96 V4 which is equipped with excellent winter tires – Vredestein 155 R15 Snow Classic from Vredestein – Tyre producer from the Netherlands in mid price segment.

Grip in the snowy slush, compacted ice and fresh snow were all noticeably improved, and driving, braking and cornering manoeuvres could be approached with much more confidence. The following day the car was taken for a longer drive into the country, documented in the video below:

As ever, If you drive frequently in winter, then consider buying a set of winter tyres. Because of all of the above Winter-ize your Saab!

Did you know that across the majority of B.C. highways during the period of October 1st – March 31st that it's mandatory to use either certified winter tires or chains while out on the road?

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
