Snow tires can go on any vehicle. They not required although they greatly increase traction and handling in the snow. If you plan to drive during a snowstorm (go to work, etc) then it's recommended to have them. Otherwise, you won't need them

Also, if you live near a main road then you might be ok since they are plowed regularly. If you live on a road that gets little traffic then good luck getting out during a storm. You'll have to wait until a plow truck goes by and hope they scrape enough to get decent traction. I live on one of those roads. I've pulled many vehicles out of the snow near my home with my 4WD truck.
