We owned a 2001 9.5 SW Aero with stock 17" wheels. The owners manual says no chains on these wheels/tires. We live in Monterey and thus don't want to change to "winter" wheels, but we're both avid skiers. The Aero does fair in light snow/ice w/o chains and our M/S Avon 550's with lowered tire presssure. We also have a 2001 9.5 SW 2.3 lpt with 16" wheels and Michlin MXV M&S. When the Sierra Mountains have lots of snow we use this 9.5 with "wire" chains on the drive wheels. We can drive 30 mph for hours with safety, not too much noise and feel secure on snow and ice at 5-7K feet elevation.
