Check with the tire dealers - chains are not recommended - try to find cables that will fit your wheels - still, no guarantee they won't scratchup your wheels - even with cables, a bad snow will bring out the driving restrictions limiting travel only to those that have snow tires AND cables/chains - there is no substitute for a 17"/18" snow tire setup - big, wide tires more often "float" instead of digging into the snow
