None, but always carry chains.  Standard (but not bald) tires will get
you anywhere snow tires will on a "conventional" car, with chains you
are driving a tank (my VW Beetle, with chains, pushed full sized American
cars with snow tires that got stuck in an icy parking lot; this was in
the late 1960's at Cornell U.).  I have driven nothing but F.W.D. or
rear engined cars since I started driving in 1965.  I never owned snow
tires and never called for a tow either!
