Question

Thanks

Answer 1

No, you don't need chains. Just drive slow on the snow and don't go too fast on the corners.

Answer 2

I wouldn't buy snow tires this time of year. As doug said just don't drive it hard if it does snow. I would think the tires on it are adequate for most driving conditions. Just don't get of the road to test the all wheel drive.

Answer 3

If chains are required on the road you will be traveling you must have them even if you do not put them on. A lot of mountain passes will require you to carry chains during winter months.

Answer 4

You don't need chains if you drive carefully.
