Take me to school on snow chains

If you've got better tires on the VX...switch'um for the trip...

Keep an eye on the weather as you get nearer. Chances are you can pick up a better selection of snow chains at a better price should you need them when you get to WI than you can get in an area that doesnt usually require them

I agree with the lot. You will most likely not need chains. I lived in Chicago most of my life and I never chained up once. Unless you plan on climbing hills on some unmaintained back country roads, I think you will be fine. Being that most of the terrain is flat, I highly doubt you will have any trouble getting around. That's not to say you need to drive safe in these conditions, but you should be fine with the Axy.

The only time I have ever used chains was out here. I once drove over the pass (from Reno to Sacramento) in the middle of a blizzard with a rental car. Chains were required for all non-4x4 vehicles. So I went to Wally World and got the cheapest chains I could find. Let me just say, putting them on was NOT fun. They work, but they are a serious pain in the bootie.

I know exactly what you mean. The last time I was on business travel to northern Cali we went through the pass over to Lake Tahoe and got caught in a blizzard on the way back. (Absolutely crazy to see the NHP (I think?) push a wooden shack onto the middle of the interstate to stop vehicles for chain inspections.) They let us pass without chains because we had rented a Subaru Forrester (AWD), but we still skidded off the interstate anyway while going down a long downhill grade. Turns out all the AWD technology in the world won't overcome cheap rental fleet summer tires.
