I went with a very good set of Hankook winter tires on my stock 17's in the stock sizes and they have worked great. I only got stuck a couple of times when the snow was too deep and the car was high centered. I later read in my manual that I can use chains but it says to use the optional winter sizes. A lot of it has to do with clearance when the chains expand at speed. My manual says to use a narrow rear tire in order to be able to use chains. I would check that out before finding chains that you might not even be able to use.
